If you're experiencing multiple windows opening every time you launch Firefox on your phone, there are a few potential solutions you can try:

Clear browsing data: Start by clearing your browsing data, which includes cookies and cache. This action can help resolve any conflicts or corrupted data that might be causing the issue. To do this, go to the Firefox menu or settings, look for the "Privacy & Security" section, and locate the option to clear browsing data. Make sure to select the appropriate data types to clear, such as cookies and cache.

Check your homepage settings: Verify that your homepage settings are configured correctly. Open Firefox, go to the settings or options menu, and look for the "Home" or "Startup" settings. Ensure that your desired homepage is set as the default and that there are no additional pages set to open on startup.

Disable extensions: Extensions or add-ons can sometimes cause conflicts that result in multiple windows opening. Try disabling any extensions you have installed to see if the problem persists. You can usually manage extensions from the Firefox menu or settings, under the "Add-ons" or "Extensions" section.

Update Firefox: Ensure that you have the latest version of Firefox installed on your phone. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve issues like the one you're experiencing. Check your device's app store for any available updates for Firefox and install them if necessary.

Reinstall Firefox: If the problem persists after trying the above steps, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox on your phone. This action can help resolve any underlying issues that might be difficult to pinpoint. Remove Firefox from your device, restart your phone, and then download and install the latest version of Firefox from your app store.

By following these steps, you should be able to address the issue of multiple windows opening when launching Firefox on your phone.
