I have 2 tabs that open when I start Firefox. when I am surfing, and hit the home button, it opens new tabs to take me to my home page. How do I prevent this?

You can set the new tab page to a blank page and use the plus button to open a new tab. If you click the Home button then you always open the home page(s).

  • Options/Preferences -> Home

See also the startup setting in Options/Preferences -> General
