Firefox is my default browser, but I still get the Explorer image when the computer opens. Can I remove the image?
I want my laptop to show a Firefox homepage when it opens, but I still get an image of the Internet Explorer homepage. Firefox has confirmed that it's my default browser. How can I make the Firefox homepage appear first? I work on a Lenovo ThinkPad with Windows 7. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want to be displayed?
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any webpage or about: page you want.
