Disabling adons has the same behavior as not disabling them.
I can change the home page to Google and when firefox restarts it is
still Google. However if I shut the machine down Bing is back. There is
no Bing in by about:config display. I agree there must be a
configuration of some sort lying around that wants my home page to be
bing.

I will try what is described in you link above but it might have to wait
a few days. Again thanks for staying with me on solving this problem.
