Dear support,

When I deploy Firefox under Windows 10, I get a "Firefox + Windows 10. Perfect together." Welcome Page in addition to my default home page. So I get 2 tabs. Do you know how to avoid this welcome page for my deployments?

Thanks,

hi, you'd have to preconfigure and set the preference browser.usedOnWindows10 to true in your firefox deployment.

Hi, please see - How to set the home page, and make sure that 'When Firefox starts' is set to Show my home page,' and that 'Home Page' is set to about:home (or your chosen home page's URL). If there is anything else, please delete it.

Alternatively, you can click on Restore to Default.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Hi same problem and this block my selenium automation testing (http://www.seleniumhq.org/ because the windows 10 welcome screen takes the focus.

i also try to modify C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ply7vb6n.default\prefs.js

user_pref("browser.usedOnWindows10", true); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.service.firstRun", false); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.reportingpolicy.firstRun", false); user_pref("browser.reader.detectedFirstArticle", false);

(so everything it look like related to first run) but windows 10 welcome screen appears anytime...

Try to use a user.js file to initialize the prefs.

user_pref("browser.usedOnWindows10", true);
user_pref("browser.usedOnWindows10.introURL", "");
