Firefox startup creates two or more open home pages. Is this a FF problem or is there a fix?

When I click on my FF icon off of the main Windows10 page, Two or more FF home pages will open. Also when I am on another website and open a new link off of that website, FF will also open that new link two or more times.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
