Firefox updated as I wanted. Now every I reopen the application is goes through the loading/updating screen before opening Firefox. When it does open the Firefox Update page loads. I've have cleared out everything (cache, logins, history, etc.) It will not stop. I hesitate uninstalling and re-installing as it doesn't always re-import past settings, bookmarks, etc. Love this browser and all the software you provide.

Hi Prelot,

You should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved. It might be a pref.js issue. These should give you all the information you need!

If that doesn't work:

  1. Type about:config in the address bar
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
  3. In the Filter input field type startup
  4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
  5. Delete the text string and click OK
  6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.

Hopefully this helps!
