how do you shut off the opening page of Mozilla's new features?
im getting really pissed off not being able to stop 2 pages from opening when i click on my firefox browser. one page which I want to open up is my yahoo.com page, the other is your new mozilla add ons page. its annoying and im about to stop using Mozilaa because of it. its ridiculous that we can stop it from loading everytime I open my browser. ive tried so many things to stop it. please help and thank you for your time

Do you mean the regular Add-ons page (the one that opens when you press Ctrl+Shift+a) or a page for a specific add-on?
Do you get the unwanted page when you launch a new window (Ctrl+n)?
If so, that can indicate either:
- Your settings list two home pages. These articles will help in clearing that up:
- One of your add-ons is showing the new page.
If the extra page does NOT appear in a new window, could you test using your Firefox desktop icon a second time without closing Firefox? This should launch a new window.
If THAT new window has the unwanted page, your Firefox shortcut might be hacked. You can check by right-clicking it > Properties > Shotcut tab. The Target for 64-bit Windows 7 should be no more and no less than the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If THAT new window does NOT have the unwanted page, Firefox may be showing a "one time" page and failing to record that it has showed the page, so it keeps doing that one time action at every startup. Have you noticed Firefox having problems remembering any other settings changes? This article has a range of suggestions for addressing this kind of issue: How to fix preferences that won't save.

I want to tyvm jscher2000 for that great info , you got it right when you said it could be a "one time" page failing to record, because it was a new "whats new on firefox" page that started today, it just wouldnt go away. so 2 TABS would open everytime, displaying my yahoo.com and mozilla new features page. so I just reset my firefox and that worked. I appreciate the time you took to send me a few options, it wasnt easy finding this support page , but it worked ty. im sure others will have this same problem. lol
