How do I prevent the Firefox page from opening with Firefox 10? I'll probably switch browsers if you can't fix this.

When Firefox 10 opens, it opens two pages, my chosen home page and a firefox page. I tried resetting my home page, but the annoying firefox page won't go away. I'll probably use a different browser unless you can fix this. The firefox page adds no value and is an annoying extra page to close before I can use the Internet.

Hi charlie76,

Are you saying it shows the welcome to Firefox page? You should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved. These should give you all the information you need!

If that doesn't work:

  1. Type about:config in the address bar
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
  3. In the Filter input field type startup
  4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
  5. Delete the text string and click OK
  6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.

Hopefully this helps!
