User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0
Steps to reproduce:
went into setting several times to set home page on start up and new tabs. same for both. and search engine. home page always reverted to the original default yet when I go into settings it has my home page URL in the settings but in the tabs it still has it's original. have reset many times, cleared history, went through the support guides which is all the things I have been doing. once or twice it worked but then it went back to it's original defaults.
Actual results:
starting a new browser it would go to my home page, but not the new tab. then it would go to Firefox home page another time. reset again and went to Firefox home page google search engine not yahoo I put in, then went to reset wouldn't allow me to put yahoo search in or any other. then would only open to Firefox home page yet when I push the home tab on the browser it went to my home page ca.yahoo.com. at times I have had to reset these preferences and no problem.
driving me crazy.
Expected results:
it should open in a new browser to yahoo.ca home page as well as any new tabs I open to yahoo and my search engine as well to yahoo, the way it has been for years until yesterday.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Messaging System' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thank you for filling this report!
I believe this issue is a duplicate of bug 1689251 which will be fixed in the next Firefox release, 87.
It is expected for the new tabs to be either Firefox Home or Blank Page. The custom URLs can be set only for homepage and new windows. When opening a new page, it is enough to press the Firefox Home button so that your custom homepage is loaded.
Please reopen and add more details (including a screenshot from about:preferences#home page) if this issue is different from the issue mentioned above. Thank you!
