2 tabs load whenever I open firefox. The first tab is firefox page and the second is my homepage google. I want to keep the google but stop the firefox tab. Tried the suggested fixes. %7c will not save it just reverts back. Anything changed in about:config doesn't help either.

What is the current value of the browser.startup.homepage pref on the about:config page?

You can check the home page setting:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
