Firefox 8.01-- every time I start up, it automatically loads the "Getting Started With Mozilla... " page along with my Home page tab. How do I prevent the "Getting Started..." tab from opening?

Hi ricklord303,

You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article How to set the home page.

There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.

If that doesn't work you should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved.

Hopefully this helps!

I found the answer in your second link, the Preferences Not Saved article. I had to delete the "user.js" file from my profile, then it started without that annoying extra tab.

Thanks
