I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature?

Hi denise_gautreau@cox.net-

If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

Thanks for responding. No, when I open a new tab it is blank. It seems that when I hit the home button which takes me to google, this is when firefox opens its own homepage in another tab. Any ideas?

Thanks.
