When I open Firefox, It opens http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/5.0/whatsnew/ What do I do to stop this? Hint- it has nothing to do with options or home page, everything works fine except this.

All tab apps and settings work fine except I also get the Welcome page. I have found 3 "prefs" files. I removed 2 of the system prefs files and it still happens.

here is a solution that worked for me from another poster Hello!. I have this problem too. What I've done is

1. Firefox Help menu up the top button>help>Troubleshooting Information 2. Under Application Basics, click Open Containing Folder 3. there will be prefs.js, user.js and sessionstore.js 4. Delete all 3 files 5. restart and done.

on firefox press Ctrl+alt+del to clear everything, choose everything and delete all.

Hope it helps!

Why didn't you remove all three prefs.js files?

You may have left one file prefs.js that is causing the problems.


Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
