when firefox opens in version 29 it opens 2 tabs, one being the what's new page or tour page. two being my homepage.

I cannot delete this what's new page.. I've tried about:config soluitions from past versions that have not worked..

Thank you Raymond

hello raymond, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click help Help-29 > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

for more information and other steps please also see: How to fix preferences that won't save
