How do I stop the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab from opening every time I open FF?

Every time I open FF, the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab opens. I have checked and it's not in my homepage list.
If I open any additional windows, it doesn't open.
But, once I close all of them and reopen it again, the tab opens.
I've had a similar problem with a couple addons (ietab) doing the same thing.

about:config is typed into the address bar as if you were going to a web page.
It will popup a message warning you that you are messing with important stuff.
Just agree.

How do I stop the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox page from opening everytime I start Firefox. If I have to see that everytime then I will delete Firefox for good...!!!!

Everytime I start firefox since the last update I can't get the stupid Getting started with firefox page to stop opening up. I downloaded the version 8 and it still opens ..

Well the latest and Greatest Firefox Version 8.0. Won't let me change my home page no matter what I do it always comes back with the getting started page and my orignal home page.
What a piece of garbage it is turning into..!!!!

Just updated to latest version , getting started with Mozilla Firefox opens everytime not homepage , how do I get rid of unwanted page

I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox , when I hit the icon and firefox opens the first page that comes up is the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox and not my home page , I have checked everything I could find and nothing keeps this page from opening like it's my home page . also I unloaded download helper for the same reason , it keep opening up wanting me to upgarde to the latest version , I already had upgraded , I don't know what is going on , My home system was upgraded early last week and works fine , I double checked all setting between the two systems , nothing , Please let me know where to look , thank you , a longtime fan of Firefox.

Hi Romulus949,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. Then you can set your homepage to anything you like.
If that doesn't work you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

How do I eliminate the "getting started with firefox" page that appears everytime I click on my home page?

Every time I click on my home page I get an additional window "Getting Started with Firefox". How do I eliminate this?

How can I stop the loading of "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox?", which has greatly slowed down the startup of Firefox.

Firefox used to start up fairly quickly, but now it loads an additional more complicated tab, which has greatly slowed down the start up process. How can I eliminate the loading of this time waster?

What do I do to stop Finder in Mac OS 10.9.3 from crashin every time I open a Dropbox Folder ?

Right after I installed the latest version of Dropbox 2.8.3 on my MacBook Air with Mavericks 10.9.3, my Finder restarts every time I try to access the Dropbox folder.
I know the documents are there because I can access some of them directly from the "Recent items" menu in some programs.
The problem persists even after I quit the Dropbox Program on the menu bar. I have also restarted the computer (also tried it in Safe Mode).
Don't know what else to try.
Pretty much all my documents are in Dropbox so the Mac is almost useless until I solve this problem.
Any suggestions Please ?
Thanks.

Posted his solution here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3768164?start=0&tstart=0 :
Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
Copy or drag – do not type – the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
find ~ -type f -name .DS_Store -delete
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new dollar-sign (“$”) prompt appears below what you entered, quit Terminal.
It solved the problem.

How can I disable: 1.the annoying "checking compatibility add-ons", and 2.: the "Getting started with Mozilla"page , every time I start Firefox?

I installed Google as my starting page, but I still get the Mozilla page first.

How do I stop the "drag firefox into the applications folder" dialog box from opening every time I open Firefox on my iMac?

When I installed Firefox on my iMac, a dialog box appeared telling me to drag the Firefox logo into the Applications folder, which I did. Firefox works fine, but every time I open it this dialog box opens before Firefox does, and I have to close it out. This is irritating. How can I stop it from opening again?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

Photoshop cs6 - How do you stop the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window from appearing?

EVERY time I open Photoshop CS6 I get the damn "Help Improve Adobe's Products" box appearing. I've clicked 'Participate' and answered all the questions ... I've pressed 'Do Not Participate' ... many times !
The darn window still opens every time I open PS6 .... driving me nuts!!
PS ... on a Mac ... in Australia.
There must be a way of getting rid of it ...
AND ... further ... on one of my machines ... my Mac Air ... for a while Photoshop CS6 would HANG completely (spinning beach ball) when the "Help Improve Adobe's Products" window opened BUT with no text in the box ... yup ... CS6 hung when the box opened completely empty of text !!
Would not like that to happen whilst on an assignment 'on the road' !!!
Plaese advise !!! Thanks

I am told MacKeeper causes problems. Hopefully you did not install that.
The only idea remaining is to uninstall/clean/reinstall.
Let's go over that:
No need to deactivate, so skip that.
In your CS6 folder is a shortcut to the uninstaller. I would like you to check "Remove Preferences" when you run the uninstaller.
When that's done, download the CS-CC Cleaner for the Mac. Run that.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
As far as your Mac goes, Run Disk Utility on your volume.
Verify Disk
Repair Permissions.
Then reinstall CS6 and updates.
It's is a "nuke and pave" approach, but if you do not want to be messing with internals you do not understand, it's the best way to go.
