Firefox opens mutiple tabs when I open a bookmarked page

Firefox opens mutiple tabs when I open a bookmarked page. When I go to the next bookmarked page Firefox opens all previous tabs that I have recently opened

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Firefox now always opens four tabs when I start it. (home page, plus three latest add-on updates)

I updated Firefox and all the add-ons. Since that time, Every time Firefox is opened, it always opens four tabs.
One is my home page. One says Firefox has been updated. The other two are the notices for two add-ons that were updated.
It all began at the time I last updated my "Version-Three-Point-Something-Something..."
I tried upgrading to the latest version of Firefox.
This did not change my problem.
Thanks for your time.

I've tried all your suggestions. Thanks.
No change occurs when I try resetting the home page to "default."
It still opens my home page www.google.com and those other tabs.
I tried the steps in the article. No change.
I've also tried removing the addons and reinstalling them.
No changes - except that one or two fewer tabs pop up.
I have noticed that every restart of Firefox includes a "checking for compatibility of addons" pop-up.
In Add-ons Manager, I can un-check the "Update Add-ons Automatically."
Again, no change.
I was able to capture a few screen shots for you.
Thanks for your patience with me.

How can I stop firefox from opening multiple tabs when I open the browser.

When I open my browser it opens a Firefox has been updated tab and a yahoo has been updated tab along with my home page. My home page settings have no extras in the address. Help

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

Why does Firefox repeatedly open new tabs when I open a .php file?

Hey guys!
I do web development and design. I've just set up my PC (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) and installed my choice of software.
On the .php files I set Firefox as the default software to open with but now it opens about 50 odd tabs in the space of 3 seconds. How do I fix this?
Kind regards,
-Trey

You've hit a bug that happens when you set Firefox as the external "helper" application used to open a type of file (the "Warning!" paragraph [http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Setting_an_automatic_action here] links to the related bug reports, if you're interested).
See [[Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link]] for how to fix this.

How can I set Safari to open multiple tabs when I open Safari?

I was able to set multiple tabs to open when I open Safari in the past. However, I do not know how to do so now.
Help!

Hello sgertel,
It sounds like you are asking about the OS X feature called Resume to have previous opened windows re-open when you launch Safari.
Automatically re-open windows, apps, and documents on your Mac - Apple Support
OS X Lion v10.7 and later include Resume, a feature that lets you re-open apps in the same state they were in when you last left them. For example, when you quit Safari, any webpages you're viewing are fully restored the next time you open Safari.
Is this not working for you? Another thing I use is common folders in the Favorites bar where I can "Open in Tabs" at the bottom of the list.
Take care,
Nubz

Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the 'new tab' button. It says 'done' in the corner, but never opens a new tab.

Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the button or the 'new tab' in file. I have restarted my computer, installed an update, and I still have the same problem browsing.

In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.

History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf 
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note: 
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. 
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it. 
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.

Why does Flash install completion close tabs when re-opening Safari?

Here is a link to the last time this was brought to the attention of the Adobe team on 9/11/2014: Safari Browser Tab Cleared After Flash Installation
Is this something that will be fixed soon or does Adobe just not care? It can be very time consuming to track down tabs that were left open for various reasons. Please fix this and have Safari re-open with tabs that were open before a Flash player update.

It's something that we're aware of, but it's not trivial to solve. It's definitely on our radar, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Why doesn't Firefox close all tabs when exiting?

I see several users have problems with Firefox not saving tabs when closing..... My trouble is just the opposite: Firefox re-opens all tabs when restarting, even when "quit" is selected in closing.

Make sure that Firefox is closing properly, otherwise it may be considered as a rash and that causes Firefox to reopen those tabs automatically. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs and [[Firefox hangs]] (Hang at exit)
Firefox 3.5 and later versions will automatically try to restore the tabs and windows from the last session if a crash has occurred or Firefox wasn't closed properly the previous time.
Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
See:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Session_Restore#Preferences
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
See also:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Firefox_keeps_crashing_after_restoring_a_session
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens file and everything is fine and also earlier version opens it fine.when I open it the links shift 1/8" up and left.Has anybody had this happen to them

I have a file that was created in FH 11 and I am using same version.Originator opens this file and everything is fine and also an earlier version opens it fine.When I open it it shifts the links 1/8" up and to the left.Has anybody ever had this happen to them?

What file format(s) are the "links"?
If raster images, do they contain clipping paths or transparency?
What is your platform and OS?
Were the FH documents created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
Were the linked files created on the same platform (Mac or PC) as the one you are currently using?
Can you reproduce the problem with a newly created document and the same linked images?
There was once an issue with transparent 1-bit TIFF images shifting, but I believe that was in a previous version of FH.
