Since upgrading to version 17 I get a Firefox splash page that says I am not up to date. This page continues to appear even thought I have tried to change it via the option section. I can add or delete tabs on the home page setup but cannot get rid of the splash page. Please help.

Thanks for your reply. I want to have both Gmail and Google Calendar open when I start FIrefox but I get the result below.

ok, please try the steps described in Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix (in case you've already tried to restore/customize the homepage option, please proceed to the section about How to fix preferences that won't save).

Thanks madperson. Fixing the preferences by resetting the program did the trick. You made my day!  :-)
