When opening a new page with Firefox, it does open what i defined as 'starting page', but URL is more long and contains addresses for the 5 starting pages i def
When opening a second 'page' or 'window'.. Firefox indeed goes to what i defined as 'startingpage', but URL is in fact too long.. It contains addresses from when i previously added 5 ' startingpages.. and causes problems..
When i open Firefox, it goes to hotmail.com, which is correct (my new starting page..) But when i open a second window, it goes to: https://dub121.mail.live.com/?tid=cm87dcFq-W5BG94wAiZMHTgA2&fid=flinbox|http://www.demorgen.be/|http://www.discogs.com/sell/mywants?ev=wsim|http://www.bloodandfire.co.uk/db/viewforum.php?f=1|http://www.vertalen.nu/
Which are the 5 addresses i previously entered as 'startingpages' .. My starting page is simply set to www.hotmail.com at the moment.. (i already deleted, and reinstalled firefox, doesnt help me out..) Thanks Thanks

Are you talking about the about:newtabs page?
Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.newtab.url This tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened. If you want, right click and select Modify. You can change the setting to;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any web page or about: page you want.
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as browser.startup.homepage.

Superb!! Finally solved my problem, thanks..
When using Internet explorer for a long time.. I told it to open my 4 favourite websites at once..
Can i do the same with Firefox.. It caused me regular fault-messages in my hotmail, guess because another site took to long to open.. ??
Thanks

You can only open multiple home page by separating the URL with a pipe (|).
This doesn't work for the new tab page (browser.newtab.url).
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
