remove speed dial permanently
FireFox 28.0 on opening displays two tabs: my home page and speed dial. The Speed Dial page is displayed on the screen. I don't ever use speed dial. I want my home page to be displayed.
Thanks for any help you can provide: mitch30303

There are a few different reasons this could happen.
One thing to check would be that your home page setting wasn't changed by adding a second tab. You can inspect the address in the Options dialog to make sure there isn't a vertical bar and a second address (possibly an internal address starting with about: or chrome:).
A second thing to check would be whether you have an unwanted extension, since extensions can respond to events such as opening a new window. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable or remove.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help?
Also, please check the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Clicking the "Installed on" column heading will bring the most recently added items to the top, and help uncover undisclosed bundled items.
Finally, you can mop up with some of the scanning/cleaning tools in this support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
