I don't want to open certain tabs when starting FF

I'm using a PC in a different environment and when I start FF 6.0 a couple of Tabs open that I no longer need. How do I stop FF from opening those Tabs?

Thanks,

John

Anyone have any ideas on how to stop this small annoyance?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

cor-el,

Thanks but none of this worked. I tried everything you listed above. Any other ideas?

Did you check the home page setting to make sure that the tabs aren't set there?
