Unwanted tabs opening in Firefox at startup

Multi unwanted tabs are opening every time I open Firefox. When closing Firefox I tell it to close all tabs and when I reopen Firefox they all come back. I have even tried closing them all individually, one at a time, and they still return after closing. How do I modify it so that I get to only the ones that were open at close?

You can check that those pages aren't set as multiple homepages.

You can check the homepage setting.

Firefox supports multiple homepages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.


You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
