This is really weird, everything was fine but now firefox always opens 2 tabs. http://i.imgur.com/G4q5fe3.png One is homepage and other is https://userstyles.org/firstrun. No, every solution is not working.. No idea why this is happening everything was fine... Solution would be to uninstall that add on but I really like it because it changes the new tab exterior and there's no search bar.

I assume you installed the Stylish extension... But you should only get a one-time notification.

I think Stylish creates/updates this preference to prevent showing you that welcome page again:

extensions.stylish.firstRun = 3

This normally would be stored by Firefox in the prefs.js file along with other settings.

Some users encounter problems with this process: the file doesn't save normally, or it is overridden at the next startup. This article describes things to check to see whether this is the problem: How to fix preferences that won't save.

If you use utility software that protects you from unwanted settings change, such as Advanced SystemCare, it could be rolling back the prefs.js file to earlier settings. You may want to disable this feature.
