place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&maxResults=10&queryType=1

Thank you for your help

That is the URI of a so called smart folder that shows the result of a places.sqlite database query. This is the URI of the Recently Bookmarked smart folder.

  • place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&queryType=1&sort=12&maxResults=10&excludeQueries=1

Such a smart folder only works as a bookmark, possibly on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Sounds that you have set this page as one of the home pages.

You can check the home page setting.

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut. Add a space and -url "about:blank" to the target field in the Properties.
