Hello,

When Firefox updates, a new tab is openned upon the next start, with the new version content or patchnote. I would like to avoid this informative tab.

Is there a way to deactivate it?

Thank you in advance.

That is the about:welcome page.

It took me a while to find it. Go to Settings > Home > Firefox Home Content : Snippets - make sure it is NOT ticked/checked.
