Every time I open FireFox i get a tab for "Add-ons Manager" in addition to a tab for my home page. How can I suppress the undesired launch of "Add-ons Manager"? It is kind of a nuisance.

Thanks,

joe

Chosen solution

One possibility is that about:addons got added to your home page as a second "home tab" somehow. You can review your home page setting and look for that tacked on after a vertical bar (|). This article describe that in more detail: How to set the home page.

Thank you very much. I had never heard of the possibility of having more than one homepage. But that is exactly what happened.

Thanks again.
