I am unable to edit homepage from safari as well. Here is the screenshot. Please help!
iMac, iOS 10.3.3
Hello There,
I've been experiencing this for weeks!! And I just resolved this today.
Something you need to know that somehow it created a Profiles in your mac do grey them out.
Heres what you need to do:
1. Open Your Settings -> Profiles; check if there is a Profile (Searchpage) available
2. Remove the profile
Thats it!!!
Hope it help.
Thanks.
1. Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to remove adware/malware.
https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/
Download, install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan” button to remove adware.
Once done, quit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Recently "Profile" created by third party applications on System Preferences was creating such a problem.

2. Disable Extensions and test.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Select, disable all extensions and test.
Enable Extensions one by one and test.
To uninstall any extension, select it and click the “Uninstall” button.
3. Safari > Preferences > Search > Search engine:
Select your preferred search engine.
4. Visit the site you want it to be the Home page
Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage
Click the button “Set to Current Page” button.
5. If this doesn’t help, please run EtreCheck and post the report here.
Download it, open Downloads folder, click on it to open, and then select ”Open”.
Click on the bouncing EtreCheck icon in the Dock.
“Choose a problem” from the popup menu box, and then “Start EtreCheck” in the dialog.
Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” .
Paste it when you reply.
Excuse me, but disabling extensions from Safari does not help. Scanning with Malwarebytes for Mac does not help either. Here is the manual and totally free solution.
I can see number of tricks but none of them worked.
I had recently removed that stupid search page from my browser. Follow the instructions.
1. Quit safari browser.
2. Open system preferences icon on your dock.
3. now you will see "PROFILES" icon in the list (grey color.)
4. click open that icon and remove the profile.
5. Now, open safari and select preferences from top and change yours home page to google.
That worked like a charm. I searched and performed various troubleshooting steps but of no use. This one worked beautifully. Now I am able to change my homepage. relaxed. Thank you very much for saving my energy
Perfectly working solution. Thanks for that
Thanks for the gr8 tips, solved my problem!!!
