When I start Firefox, there's a new tab open right at the beginning of my other tabs. How do I get rid of this open new tab?
Can someone tell me how to configure firefox so a New Tab isn't always open when I sign in. I have 4 tabs that automatically open when I sign on, but now I have a new blank tab. How do I prevent a blank one from opening?

That pipe symbol at the begin of the Home page setting will cause a blank page to open.

Did you check the Home page settings?
- How to set the home page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
You can start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
- https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder
Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Ok, none of above helped, but I do see what my problem is. As my homepage, I had a | in front of the http which made it think there was an open page in front. I feel good, figured it out myself!!! But thanks for the help everyone. I'm still waiting for an answer on another question I posted in here. It was concerning setting up Adblock Plus. Please go out there to see what I'm looking for. Thank you.

I saw it, but didn't realize I had it in front of my first home page!!!
