After firefox updated all the addons some of them opened a new tab after restarting. That tab reported that each addon had been updated. But those tabs keep opening at startup, hiding my homepage and getting annoying.

I have solved many of them downgrading to an older version, but i can't fix the Tabmix plus tab that keeps leading here: http://tmp.garyr.net/version_update2.htm?version=0.4.1.1pre.130722a Even downgrading it, which makes it lead to a different page that explains about a different version (the one i had downgraded to)

EDIT. I have wiped out all the config to restore it part by part. Everything is solved now.

See these articles for some suggestions:

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
