Homepage opens with two additional tabs with quicklinks undesirable.

Opening of my homepage now also open 2 two additional tabs with tile links to Facebook, Twitter and other undesirable websites. Maybe it's Yahoo, which I don't use. I might add the screenshot of these tabs, but need help to do it. It's a painting, *.png file. Homepage has no "pipes" | in the address.

You can check the setting of the homepage:

  • Tools > Options > general > startup: Homepage

Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).

You can check the suspicious extensions or recently installed unknowns.

Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

You can remove possible user.js and numbered prefs-# .js files and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

  • My firefox always opens with the three tabs, that I used when I downloaded and install firefox. How can I open one?

    When I downloaded Firefox for my new computer with Windows 10, I opened Firefox and follow the instructions to put everything in place to operate, including checking my email address. When I finished this process, I had 3 tabs open. Then, I closed Firefox.

    The next time I opened Firefox, 3 tabs opened. The additional 2 were on the same places they were until I closed Firefox.

    I closed two additional tabs before you navigate on several times. However, whenever I open Firefox, the same tabs will appear.

    How can I fix it? I want only 1 tablet to open.

    Every day when I start Firefox there are two additional tabs that contain information about the synchronization and how well Firefox combines with Windows 10. I don't want that. I just want a tab. I can't find the answer to this question on the forum. Can someone help me?

    Hi, Firefox is able to open multiple home pages with the URL separated by a "pipe" (|), please see - How to set the home pageand in "Home Page", make sure that in addition to the URL of your homepage, is not something else - if there is, just delete it. (The Firefox start page is Subject: House but you can set a different, or the page tab is on: newtab).

    If it's easier, you can just click Restore default instead.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

  • Cannot get new url of the tab open with the homepage (Google).

    After the upgrade, I cannot get rid of 12 boxes (Facebook, Youtube, etc.) on the new tab or make open with my homepage (Google). I tried two different newtaburl add-on, uninstall and reinstall Firefox and the directives of the object: subject: config, browser.newtab.url, etc. I can't even scratch try this approach. I can't get the 12 bar blues.

    Well, I know I'm repeating something you've read before, but just for completeness (and also, I suspect this isn't built-in Firefox page):

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Extensions

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?

    If they run different profiles, then Yes.

    Thanks, but I use only 1 profile. However, I found the answer! If I restart/turn off / down pc WITHOUT closing a firefox session, he will come with the screen 'well, it's embarrassing"and list the TWO sessions to restore. The trick is not not to close before stopping! If you close them first, then you can only restore the session first (?).
