Having recently updated Firefox to version 20.0.1 I get the compatibility check everytime and also the What's new page. Can you tell me how I turn these off, please.

hello rodale, what you're seeing is probably a side effect of firefox not being able to save certain preferences into its profile folder.

go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named user.js.

in case this didn't solve the issue yet please also refer to How to fix preferences that won't save.
