When I open Firefox, it opens to a blank tab rather than my home page. Then nothing works. I have to go to help, troubleshooting information and refresh which takes me to a page where I have to sign in. Once that's done, the program works. This problem started suddenly a few days ago.

hi, this sounds like a problem that may be caused by the new multi-process architecture in firefox (codename "e10s"): https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2016/08/02/whats-next-for-multi-process-firefox/

please try disabling e10s like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2. double-click it and change its value to false and restart the browser.
