• I have a lot of tabs saved to be able to open them when I open Firefox, but the first tab is always changing in my homepage, Google. Is it possible to stop this?

  I always opened, 20 + tabs on Firefox and it is together to remember. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes that I had opened it in my homepage, Google. I can use the thing "go back" to go to the page that I had there, but going back to Google every time I restart the browser that becomes tedious.

  The only way to solve what I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and either Google. However, I want a real solution stop if possible.

  Who are normal tabs or pinned tabs?

  Note that 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.

  Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js 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.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

• When I open Firefox, or a new tab opens automatically in a 2nd tab. How do I remove it?

  Everytime I open Firefox, or open a new tab, 2nd tab opens to the page 'Options '. How can I stop this from happening?

  Could check you your home page address to ensure that it is not listed there? It would be after a vertical separator, for example:

  https://www.mozilla.org/|about:preferences
  

  I think that you are familiar with the information to verify, but just in case: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  Was he there? (Fingers crossed, because the alternatives seem very little likely.)

  Do not share AppleIDs. They are supposed to be individual.

• When I open firefox, my home page opens as two other tabs that I have my favorites, but don't ask don't not to save.

  Well enough what it says above. I haven't recorded telling me to reopen these pages, but when I launch Firefox, I have three tabs open automatically:

  (1) home page.
  (2) BBC radio player.
  (3) a message board that I use.

  I can't find a way to stop the loading of these pages.

  I'm guessing that you have these other loaded into your homepage layout.

• Why do I get three windows when I open Firefox instead of the unique homepage, I had put in place?

  I used to get a single tab, my Google homepage when I launched Firefox. Then one day I downloaded Google Chrome because I had trouble running an application. After that, when I launch Firefox, I get three tabs, a Gmail, a Home Page of Google and a browser that reads chrome://browser/content/newtab/newTab.xul - also, I get spammed like crazy and I was not before. I have my active spam blocker. I also downloaded a few flip something because I fell for the pop-up ad that said it would speed up my download speed. I have since uninstalled Google Chrome and I thought the flip thing, but I still get three launch windows and too many spam.

  Strange, since Google shouldn't do that. Maybe it was an installer bundled masquerading as official?

  To start your cleaning efforts, please check your home page settings. Do you get the 3 tabs when you press command + n to start a new window? If so, the additional URLS can be added to your home page in the Preferences dialog box. These articles describe where to find that. Notes that it can be difficult to see all the details of this area due to the limited space available, so often it is easier to delete everything and paste the desired URL.

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  Then please check your extensions, as they can override your settings. I suggest disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • Tools menu > Modules

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so obviously bad, delete).

  Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Any improvement?

• When I open Firefox, in addition to my original place, I have another tab that opens the same site without my asking for it. How can I get rid of this nuisance?

  The offending site is loaded in a second tab as well as my home page when I open Firefox. How can I stop this loading site automatically?

  Hi lennynyr,

  Out of curiosity, what is the additional site? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.

  There are the steps in this article to reset your preferences on the default home page. I would try everything first to clear all strangeness. If it works, you can try to set your homepage again to your personal preferences.

  If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.

  Hope this helps!

• When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

  When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

  Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

  I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

  Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

  Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.
