• 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.

  • 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?

• 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.

Instead, it opens in an engine search called 'awesomehp' that, previously, never heard and never installed. When I click on the 'home' - button, it goes to my real home page, and everything is ok.

• Why Support of Firefox home page load when I open firefox?

  Why Support of Firefox home page load when I open firefox? I'm on Dial-Up and I have my homepage to Yahoo.com. Home page of Firefox Support both Yahoo.com pages load at the same time. It takes too much time. I already read the homepage of support and have no need every time I load Firefox. How can I stop it each time to load?

  Implement: config and filter support.mozilla.com (if that's the page you mention actually) to see source. Also check that you have only a single home page in tools > general and that you bring to the top of the previous session, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

  If you have a very close tab, then this is a pinned tab app. You can detach an app tab by right-clicking on the tab and choosing "unpin tab '.

  There are / were three problems:
  1. why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the most recent when version help > on Firefox said I do?
  2 also, with version 8 of xx, I was unable to open a new window with a right-click, until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I'm curious).
  3 when I tried to uninstall the old version of the uninstall program told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

  1. you are using the latest version which is Firefox version 9.0.1

  From your description, it seems that if you still have the old start page for Firefox http://www.google.com/firefox hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default home page is no longer used as topic: Home is in use since Firefox 4.0

  Ignore the message, change the homepage of topic: Home, replace it with another page or leave blank.

• 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!
