You will have to change the settings for your Home Page. These instructions should help you: How to Set the Home Page.

I have already tried this. Did not work.

Try this (from ideato):

• In the address bar, type "about:config";
• then click "I'll be careful I promise";
• then in the filter window, type "browser.startup.page";
• then double click on it and change the value to "1";
• close the window, exit Firefox and restart-it.

Hope this helps.

P.S: Also make sure that in the General tab (under Options), you choose "Show my Home Page" under the field "When Firefox Starts:"

Edit: Bolded for emphasis.

I have been fighting this for a couple of days. First thing that happens is I see a compatibility add on check. Next my computer opens with two tabs, one my home page and the other the Mozilla page. I close out the Mozilla page and I can now view my home page.

See these articles for some suggestions:

• https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

As long as you're comfortable working with configuration files, I just renamed user.js – made it "user.js.Obsolete" – then stopped and restarted Firefox. It came up clean (no "Getting Started/Meet MOZILLA..." page), seemed to start up faster than I recalled, and preserved my toolbar settings (never liked that "Tabs on Top" business), bookmarks, etc. I even restarted XP, just to be sure it wasn't a fluke – previously, the "Meet MOZILLA..." page wouldn't come up when I opened a second browser window in the same WinXP session.

Hello, I have been trying to find out how to stop the "meet mozilla firefox" page loading each time Istart Firefox and cannot resolve this problem. I see you have had the same problem and would like to know if you have now sorted it and how you did it! This would be a great help to me. I am running Firefox 8 on Vista. Regards, emty69
