How do I get rid of the"Options" tab being opened with every web page?
I recently updated Firefox and now each time I open a new tab, the "Options" tab is on the screen which means I am opening two tabs every time. Cannot correct this condition. Cannot find the window showing in Firefox to deal with "tabs". Running Windows 7, 32 bit, did not have this problem before update.

One possible reason for this is if the Options page was added as a second "home tab" in which case it will show up in every new window (Ctrl+n) and anytime you click the Home button.
To check on that, you can switch over to the Options page, and select General in the left column. Toward the top of the page, in the Startup section, check the Home Page field:
Look for a vertical bar character separating two addresses. As a simple example with short URLs:
https://www.mozilla.org/|about:preferences
The bar definitely can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete everything to the right of the bar and then the bar itself (I suggest deleting the bar last so things don't accidentally get mushed together).
Was that it?
