My problem is i always get two tabs open when i start firefox. One is the homepage, the second is a blank tab which is the one that opens. I do'nt want the 2nd
I know how to set homepage correctly. I am an experienced user. My issue is when I start up Firefox 20.0.1 it always starts up two tabs. The first is the correct homepage. The second is a blank tab which it switches to. I only want the first tab which is the homepage. How do I stop the second tab from opening. The homepage is set only with one URL and is correct.

See these articles for some suggestions:
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Have you tried to close all the tabs and than restart Firefox (Firefox > Quit) ? Have you removed sessionstore.js and see if that fixed the issue?
I solved my problem. The solution is I had set Firefox to remember History. I changed that to NEVER remember History. In doing that I no longer get the extra tab page in addition to the homepage tab.

My solution was to change the HISTORY option under SECURITY from REMEMBER HISTORY to NEVER REMEMBER HISTORY. I then set my homepage and shut down and restarted. I now only get the one tab opened with my homepage.
