Updated Firefox and it keeps opening up the Mozilla Firefox welcome site as well as my home page. How do I get only my homepage to open? I have already gone through the homepage options and it still opens the welcome site and my home page.

Hi Lelor,

You should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved. It might be a pref.js issue. These should give you all the information you need!

If that doesn't work:

  1. Type about:config in the address bar
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
  3. In the Filter input field type startup
  4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
  5. Delete the text string and click OK
  6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.

Hopefully this helps!
