Sounds like the Options page was added as one of your home tabs. To edit that out, you can use either of these methods:

Options page

Switch over to the Options page, and select General in the left column. Toward the top of the page, in the Startup section, check the Home Page field:

Look for a vertical bar character. As a simple example with short URLs:

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

The bar definitely can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete whichever of these you find --

|about:preferences
|about:preferences#general

-- I suggest deleting the bar last so things don't accidentally get mushed together.

Don't click the "Use current pages button" or you'll have to start again. Firefox will save the edit when you tab out of or click away from that box.

about:config Preferences Editor

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste home and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.startup.homepage preference and remove whichever of these you see --

|about:preferences
|about:preferences#general

-- I suggest deleting the bar last so things don't accidentally get mushed together.

Hello,

  1. Type about:preferences in the address bar and press Enter
  2. In the 'Home Page:' text field, remove |about:preferences
  3. The 'Home Page:' text field should now contain https://calendar.google.com/calendar/|https://my.yahoo.com/
  4. Close the Preferences tab
  5. Restart Firefox
