Add-on developer's websites come up automatically every time I start firefox.
Hi. Every time I open Firefox a bunch (maybe 5 or so) tabs appear automatically, making it take longer for Firefox to load, not to mention the fact that I have to go through and close all of them. Each tab is for a different website for each Firefox Add-on I am using (eg. Lightshot, Greasemonkey, etc.). How do I make it to where when I open Firefox, my homepage is the only website to appear? Thanks :)

It is also possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created when required.

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

hello JohnTron1980, this might be a side-effect when firefox cannot retain certain settings across browser sessions - some common solutions for it can be found at: How to fix preferences that won't save.

I have this problem only in my android. How could I fix it here? Specifically, I cannot start firefox without the same Ghostery configuration wizard popping up every time!
