Firefox does not open my startpage Ubuntu 20.04
From this morning onwards Firefox does not open my desired startpage "https://www.startpagina.nl" automatically. The only thing to start this page is by clicking the Home icon. Via options I have typed in the correct name many times. Sometimes it starts with "startpagina.nl", but most of the times it does not. How can I fix this? Thanks, Ed

Hello,
Maybe you are Restoring Previous Session everytime. You can turn off this feature by following way:-
- Type about:preferences#general in URL bar and press enter.
- Uncheck the Restore Previous Session.
Hope it helps. Thank You.
Hi Ed, I just wanted to mention that 3 users with Yahoo set as their home page and one user with Gmail set as their home page also reported getting a blank page at startup in Firefox 77.0.1 in recent days. I haven't see an explanation for it yet. Since multiple sites are affected, it could be a setting or add-on issue, yet to be tracked down.
Thank you for the quick response, Shashank Shekhar and jscher2000! Restore Previous Session was unchecked. I shall have to wait for a solution. It is no big issue because I can start it manually. Thanks anyway!!
Thank you very much Pallavi kumari! I followed the link to mozilla and tried some solutions. At one point it said that if emptying cache and removing cookies would not help you will have to wait till a solution will appear. I think I will do that. Thanks for your efforts!!
