How to prevent DictionarySearch Add-On from opening evertime I start Firefox 29.0
With this 29.0 update, whenever I launch FF, the DictionarySearch Add-on also opens and I don't want to see that.
Prior to 29.0, DictionarySearch did not open every time I launched Firefox.
How do I stop the DictionarySearch Add-on from opening a tab every time I launch Firefox (without uninstalling it)?

I see something!
I see that user.js is active on Firefox
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
- Go to about:support and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

I renamed the user.js file (I don't ever know that that is) and so far so good.
Thanks for the help!
