Startpage
I have chosen a startpage in Firefox and when I start Firefox the startpage opens and a new tab? How do I solve this problem with the new tab?

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

You can check the startup setting:
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
"Show my home page"
"Show a blank page"
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
It didn`t solve my problem. I have checked my startup settings and I have "Show my home page". When I started Firefox in Safe Mode it worked. Firefox did only open my home page not a new tab.

I deactivated "Speedial 9.5.6" and it solve my problem with the new tab. Thanks for your help!
