When I open Mozilla, I automatically get a tab: Mozilla Firefox Start Page which goes into Google. I HATE Google. How do I stop this annoying thing from popping up? I wish programs would stop assuming things about users! Ask us if we want something before doing it for us!

Set whatever web page you want as your homepage.

The new build-in home page about:home with the Google search bar is a local page and doesn't connect to internet or Google.
