Safari won't store home page

I'm running Safari 12.11 on High Sierra 10.13.6 on a Mac Pro early 2009. Safari preferences won't store a reference to a home page. I've deleted the plist - tried to replace it with one that works from another machine. Nada. Any ideas?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.13

Unable to change homepage on safari Ugarded to Mojave 10.14.5 and now I'm unable to change my homepage. It was always set to google and now its yahoo. The Box in the preferences is greyed out and won't let me select anything. Ive searched for a solution and tried what seemed to be the most common solution which was to locate the safari.plist link in the preferences but my system doesn't have that file to even attempt moving it anywhere like people suggest. Please help? Thanks Chris

Safari "Open with start page" selection disappeared. Hello all, Recently something happened to my Safari on Mac running Mojave. The "Safari opens with:" selection lost its selection of "Start Page" and it is rather uncomfortable for me. I don't really want to think about what was the last thing I opened while opening my device in a coffeeshop or so. Is there any way that I can get that selection back or it is permanent from now on? (I believe recent security update safari got caused the missing setting.) Thank you in advance to anyone answering! Edit: I believe the setting was called "Safari opens with: a New Window" rather than start page or smt. Cheers, ~bio

After deleting the preferences.plist, did you restart the computer?
