Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.

There are two settings;

  • When Firefox Starts

When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.

  • Home Page

When a new page is opened, what do you want to be displayed?

  1. Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
  2. Use Bookmark
  3. Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.

You can use any of these that you wish;

about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),

or you can enter any webpage or about: page you want.

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Already set to own url/homepage and blank page. This is not what I'm talking about.

Note that there is only one "Firefox Home" page in current Firefox releases.

This usually happens if you have multiple home pages set. You can check the home page setting.

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
