How do I stop request for sync sign-up every time new browser open?
I just upgraded Firefox (50.0.1) on this Windows 7 box. Every time I open Firefox, it opens two tabs. One is okay, but the other is asking me to sign-up for sync. I don't want to bother with sync. In fact I would prefer not to bother with repeatedly closing this tab. How do I make it stop?

Hi, Firefox is able to open multiple home pages with the URLs separated by a 'pipe' (|), so please see - How to set the home page, and in 'Home Page,' make sure that in addition to your home page URL, there isn't anything else - if there is, just delete it. (the Firefox start page is about:home but you may have set a different one; the New Tab page is about:newtab; and if you want a blank page, it's about:blank).
If it's easier, you can just click on Restore to Default instead.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

Your information is incorrect. All it says is "Show my Home Page," and I know how to adjust my home page at this point in browser evolution. I did make use of the "Restore to Default," which I kind of thought I was already running the default. Let's hope that works.
There ought to be a negative choice somewhere on the setup sync dialog page.
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename/remove the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in current Firefox releases.
Thanks for your help.
