I set my homepage to open when I start Firefox, but along with my homepage, a tab "Options" opens as well. How do I stop multiple tabs from opening?

Hi, Firefox is able to open multiple home pages with the URLs separated by a 'pipe' (|), so please see - How to set the home page, and in 'Home Page,' make sure that in addition to your home page URL, there isn't anything else - such as about:preferences, if there is, just delete it, then close the Options tab.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
