Since the last update, every time I sign onto firefox, I get two tabs that open. One is my home page the other tab is the hooray you've just updated firefox. How do I get rid of the tab from firefox telling me I've just updated?

I have checked my options for my home page, and that setting hasn't changed. I went through the steps anyway, but this did not fix the problem. The tab still shows up every time. If I remember correctly, this problem happened maybe a year or so ago after an update took place. I hope they can figure out the problem.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
