I click on Firefox Browser icon and it opens outlook.com sign in page (which is my home page) in 3 seperate tabs. When I'm browsing on another site and click on the home page icon, it opens the outlook sign in page in 3 tabs. How do I have the home page open in just one tab?

Are you aware that you can have multiple "homepages" in Firefox? Use Current Page is used to set multiple homepages.

"You can also set multiple pages as your home page: Open each page in a separate tab and click on Use Current Pages. "

That is why I linked that KB page.

I'm sorry. I was not aware that multiple homepages could be chosen using the "Use Current Pages" button. I thought that just set the page you were on as your homepage. I changed the method by using a bookmark and it is now opening my homepage in one tab. Thanks for your help.
