I use Firefox as the primary browser on all my computers - 3 desktops, 4 laptops - and they're all set up the same - when I open Firefox it opens to my home page which is my Hotmail account. If I click to open a new tab, it displays my home page - which is what I want. To set them up this way I did the following: in the address bar I typed about:Config; then browser.newtab.url; then right clicked and clicked Modify; then deleted what appears in the dialog box and entered the new url.

Now, suddenly, on one computer (Windows 7), when I click to open a new tab, it opens a generic page. I tried to set it up again. It opens my home page when I click to open a new tab but, if I close the browser and reopen it, it opens to my home page as it should but, when I open another tab, it opens the generic page. What happened and, more importantly, how do I fix it.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
