Now that I updated Firefox, I get TWO tabs that come up...one is my normal startup page and the second is the "Welcome to Firefox" page that doesn't seem to go away. Do I need to go back to Internet Explorer???
As stated in my question, why does the Welcome to Firefox keep opening IN ADDITION to my normal start-up page. This started when I upgraded my Firefox and IT IS QUITE ANNOYING! I am also not able to clear history or restore previous session.

Hi mjp80538,
You should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
- Type about:config in the address bar
- Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
- In the Filter input field type startup
- Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
- Delete the text string and click OK
- Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Thanks very much for this solution to the recurring "Welcome to Firefox" page. It worked a treat. I was beginning to think I had a virus/trojan/malware causing this problem. It was very clearly explained. Terry
