My default home page is set to Yahoo, but every time I open a new homepage tab, the 'Create Firefox Account' tab automatically opens each time. It is annoying as it means I have double the tabs I want open and have to keep closing the Firefox account page. I do not want a Firefox account so how can I stop this tab always opening? Thanks.

Yes, this page is for creating a Firefox Sync account.

In order to change the new tab URL:

  1. Enter about:config in the address bar
  2. Accept the warning
  3. Find the line browser.newtab.url
  4. Double-click on the value (current value should be https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0.2/firstrun/) and enter another URL or about:newtab
  5. Click on OK and close the about:config tab



Note The pref browser.newtab.url won't work anymore from Firefox 41.

This is for security reasons: too much add-ons and malware were using this feature to set their own new tab URL.

Next you will have to use this add-on: New Tab Override. When the add-on is installed, open about:config, find the pref [email protected] and change the value to the URL you want.

Unless you are talking about sync, or this site, there is no Create Firefox Account
