When I start my laptop it automatically boots up Firefox (the browser) and it starts in MSN.co.uk (same as msn.com basically).

How do you stop this from happening ? Its very annoying and it seems to have come with Windows 10, like some other undesirable security or privacy issues.

Hi, please see - How to set the home page, and if you want the Firefox start page, simply click on Restore to Default.

Also make sure that Firefox isn't in your PC's Startup folder, which should be in All Programs (All Apps in Win 10, I think). If it is, you can right click to delete it.

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