When I click on firefox, instead of 1 tab I get the previous 2 I used

Question

I start up the laptop. Once password entered, i get the desktop. I click on firefox to take me to google and instead of doing so, I get the last two tabs of the websites i last visited. then I have to click on the third unused tab and click on google and then ask my question. It didn't used to be like this (since July 2012). I could go to the desktop, click on firefox and go straight to google images (although I didn't like this option and I would have preferred it to go straight to google search, but it never did, seem to go straight to google images which meant I then had to click on google search. Now it doesn't do this at all and I have to cope with the last two tabs of webpages and click on the X to get rid of them every single time. Most frustating. I use windows 7, vista and firefox as my search engine. Microsoft security essentials is the protective anti virus set up that came with the laptop.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
