Hi ya,

I have a new laptop (using windows 8.1) and I have set certain tabs 'pinned' within firefox, but when I open the browser a new tab always appears with my homepage, is it possible to stop this from appearing everytime I open the browser?

Thank you in advance..

Yes choose the option to open with the tabs of the previous session.

  • Use Menu Button {Three bar icon) -> Options{Cog Icon) -> |General| -> When Firefox starts [Show my windows and tabs from last time ^v]

You may choose to open Firefox with the tabs from the last session. Or you may wish to add more tabs to your homepage.

Firefox will open one normal tab when started, but should select a pinned tab if you close Firefox with a pinned tab selected.

You can check the startup setting and possibly set a blank page:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":
    "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    "Show my home page"
    "Show a blank page"
