My preference for what to show when opening Firefox is by default at startup.
This week I installed Firefox 26.0 on a new computer running Windows 7. I put my preference for what to do when Firefox opens to "show my windows and tabs from last time '. Whenever I restart my computer, he came back to "show my home page".
You can reset prefs . browser.sessionstore * who are user defined (in bold) on the default through the context menu on the topic: config page to ensure that the Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

How to set preferences for what happens / appears when you click the new tab
I used to have seen my sites more used, but for some reason that I don't have more since I uninstalled a toolbar that has become the default search engine itself!
So now, I want that, instead of having an error message; the new tab display a tab blank when I click on button ' + '!You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to your preferred the new tab page.
- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update
Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update. I don't want to restore but it appears every time instead of my homepage as shown
A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.
Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.
- Bug 845681 - close all windows and abandonment of Firefox eventually led to about: sessionrestore to appear the next time you start

When opening Firefox, two windows are open
A week ago Firefox opens two windows (my home page and a new empty window) when I open the program. This also occurs if the Web site I'm open a new window (the window for the site) and a new window empty. Until this started, Firefox ran perfectly. Any suggestions?
Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
- In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

I have my Firefox home page set up like Yahoo! Mail, but when I first open Firefox I get 4 separate sessions Firefox with a blank page for each session. When I click on Tools/Options, it is said that yahoo! Mail is still my home page.
It is possible that there is problem with sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder
Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the profile folder
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
You will have to redo the App Tabs and tab groups after delete sessionstore.js.

I have a loading time long when I open firefox 35. Then cannot connect to the server, but I can open then well websites through my list of bookmarks. Trying to reinstall, didn't help, makes google my homepage in the options does not help.
It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and allow your firewall to ask permission to get access full and unrestricted, again to install for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

How to get rid of yahoo as search engine when opening firefox
When I open Firefox and enter a site in the search box, yahoo appears as a research vehicle. It takes forever to find the required site. I tried various things, but it seems that this feature of Yahoo has been installed when I did another download.

Looks like you have a third-party toolbar which took on your search engine, Home Page or the default new tab Page. Fortunately this can be solved easily:
- At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. Open the tab of the Add-ons Manager.
- In the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel.
- Select the toolbar you want to delete.
- Click on the button Delete.
- Click reboot now if it appears. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After restarting Firefox, install the Reset search tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program to your Firefox.

no address or all the bars when opening firefox
the last few weeks when I open firefox it opens with no search bar, no address bar, no bars at all. all I have is a blank white page with Mozilla Firefox in the upper left corner and on the upper right reduce it, restore them and close buttons. I can try and open many times and the same thing happens. I tried to reinstall the latest version, I tried the F11 key, the ALT key, all other keys. the only way I can use it is if by chance I get firefox to load with bars, and then I click on a link at random to open a tab and use it. It's very frustrating. I have also shut down my computer completely for about a half hour and rebooted, hoping it would help. I can't open anything to verify anything. There is no bar file/edit/view/...tools for me to change anything. There is nothing more than a blank page. I'd appreciate any help. This has never happened before, and I had not installed anything new when this started.

Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created if necessary.
See "extension corrupted files:
