I have Yahoo Search - Web Search as my home page. When I foolishly moved to Windows 10 I needed to reset my homepage but didn't remember how so opened https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page#w_set-or-change-your-home-page. My home page is set but this tab opens as well whenever I go on line. How do I put a stop to this?

You can find the home page setting here:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page

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

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

Cor el: Thank you. The sentence regarding multiple home pages gave me the hint. I must have caught both tabs in my drag to home. I have just gone in and reset the home page, being careful to not cross the one I want over the one I don't.
