when I start up firefox I want just the opening page. I get a second page with icons of facebook and lots of other things such as telegraph paper BBC. I don't want this garbage. I want to get rid of it p lease. I has started recently. Also I don;t know what the hell 'add ons' are and I don't think I want any of them thank you. I'm getting irritating by firefox these days ....

Hi John,

Can I ask, what is Firefox set to open on Start-up (if you go to Tools--> Options--> General Tab)

Thanks Rod

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.

Note that Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

You can check for problems with preferences.
