Everytime I open Firefox it says "Welcome to firefox" with 2 tabs opening over and over again.

I've tried setting the homepage on Firefox - Didn't Fix

I've tried setting home page with about:config - "browser.startup.homepage", Changes back to default even thought I set www.google.com as my home page - Didn't fix


This has never happened to me before, might be the new update that Firefox pushed out. Any other solutions out there? I'd really appropriate it.

Do you mean that browser.startup.homepage changes when you restart Firefox?

You can check for problems with preferences.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
