How to make first page my home page, not Firefoxe's privacy page
Before version 29 Firefox brought up my home page -- the only one. Now, no matter what I specify to be the home page the Firefox "privacy" page is loaded first with my home page as a secondary (and not shown) page. Loading the privacy page wastes CPU time and is aggravating. How do I turn off that over-riding, default page?

This can be caused by problems with the file(s) that store preferences and possibly other files like the compatibility.ini file. You may have security software that protects some files against changes.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
