welcome tab present each time I start Firefox, my homepage is opened in separate window. How do I make it stop?
Welcome page opens each time I start Firefox, my homepage opens in separate window. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and it continues to happen. Homepage is set to google and is present when I go to the general tab.

I updated all plugins and the issue continues. Any other options?

Thank you for the time you took to assist me. In the end I uninstalled Firfox, then went into my program files and deleted the remaining folder. I then reinstalled with out any further issues.
