firefox how do i stop homepage appearing when starting
Hi ya,
I have a new laptop (using windows 8.1) and I have set certain tabs 'pinned' within firefox, but when I open the browser a new tab always appears with my homepage, is it possible to stop this from appearing everytime I open the browser?
Thank you in advance..

Yes choose the option to open with the tabs of the previous session.
- Use Menu Button {Three bar icon) -> Options{Cog Icon) -> |General| -> When Firefox starts [Show my windows and tabs from last time ^v]
You may choose to open Firefox with the tabs from the last session. Or you may wish to add more tabs to your homepage.
- You may have more than one tab listed as a homepage.
(Separate the tab items in the listing with the pipe character | ) - Homepages are still available by using the House icon even if you choose to open with the last session
- See Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings
How to set the home page
Firefox will open one normal tab when started, but should select a pinned tab if you close Firefox with a pinned tab selected.
You can check the startup setting and possibly set a blank page:
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
"Show my home page"
"Show a blank page"
