I have the homepage set to what I want. On the "General" page option it is set to when firefox starts show my home page.

I'm running 30.0 and the about page says I am up to date.

It used to always go to my homepage, but just recently started loading the tabs from my previous session.

Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.

Flash is notorious for not cleaning out the older version as part of an update. Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac Then reinstall the latest version.

Shockwave Flash v14. http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The link for Flash Player is: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

As to your home page issue;

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the "Applications" folder Linux:

  • Ubuntu Unity {web link}
  • Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
  • options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment

Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't know what it is, use a web search.
