I have set the start page of firefox individually. However, in order not to start all of the internet pages contained in the start page from time to time, I start the browser with "open new tab". since the update to version 91, however, only a minimized window has opened. how can that be changed?

Bypassing the homepage by right clicking on the taskbar icon and choosing 'new tab' is not good. You should create a desktop shortcut (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website)

Other thing to try: 1. On the Start Menu, right click on the Firefox icon and select "Open file location". 2. Choose Properties, then under the Shortcut tab, set Firefox to Run: Maximized.
