No matter what, whenever I open Firefox, an extra tab opens up. I've tried countless times to close it but it always reopens! It is very annoying. The tab is always google.com. I've tried everything, please help!!

You may have set the home page to a website that opens in the sidebar or have set multiple home pages.

Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.
