Hi guys!

I have the following problem: 2 days ago I viewed a Youtube video. After viewing it I closed that tab. Since then I have watched countless other Youtube videos, each time closing the tab once I viewed it. However, every time I start my Firefox after firing up my laptop this particular Youtube video that I watched 2 days ago is running in a tab.

Can someone please help me get rid of this?

Regards, Natan

If you go to the Firefox settings page and select the Home section, what's set as your homepage? It sounds like maybe the video was somehow added as a homepage.

Hope this helps.
