firefox starts with index of home folder
I have the same problem as detailed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/937720. However, the solution does not work for me. I have tried changing the start command to the following: firefox /usr/bin/firefox firefox %u firefox %u $HOME
All of these open firefox with just the file:///home/shawn/ instead of my home folders. If it makes a difference, I just installed this OS (opensuse linux), and copied the mozilla directory over. I also have 3 pages for my homepage.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Well, I restarted -- again -- and now it is working fine. So, who the heck knows. Anyway, thanks.

Did you check the homepage setting in Firefox? You can check this pref on the about:config page:
- browser.startup.homepage
Can you start Firefox with a specific page (URL) if you append the URL (firefox https://example.com) ?
If I plug that command into the menu editor (for application launching), then it does not work. It is the same behavior as before.
However, and I forgot to mention this, I can do this in the terminal and it starts correctly (both with the appended URL and without).
ALSO: I tried starting in safe mode, and firefox started correctly. However, after that I started with all addons disabled, and it still did not start correctly. I then disabled hardware acceleration in the preferences, and that did not affect anything either.

I also did a firefox refresh and that did not help. Sorry, I just keep forgetting everything that I have tried lol.
Also, I just realized I did not answer your first question. In about:config, it looks like it should (as I said, I have three websites set, and it is showing them with the pipes in between.)
Having said that, I currently have firefox set to restore previous session while I am trying to figure this out, and it is still doing it. So, I don't think it is the homepages...
But... there are three things underneath this that showed up: browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID;20190516215225 browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone;67.0 services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.startup.homepage;true
No idea what this stuff means or if it is relevant.

If it happens again then try to disable "Restore Previous Session" to see if that has effect.
browser.startup.homepage and browser.startup.page should set what happens if you start Firefox.
Okay, I guess I am not out of the woodworks yet. While ff is starting up fine, I am now getting the local directory stuff when clicking html links from other applications.
For example, when clicking on the mozilla support link in the email I received from you (probably automated), I get the following in the firefox url when it opens: file:///home/shawn/.cache/kioexec/krun/25909_0/1263235.
I have tested this in both thunderbird and mailspring, as well as with another html link, all with the same results.
I have stumbled on a bug, I believe has nothing to do with firefox. Not sure still, but this is my exact problem:
Okay, got it fixed I think. from the bug report above, doing the following fixed it for me:
"It happened after I added a second user in Chromium. In the Plasma application settings, in Default Web Browser, I had "with the following command: chromium". I changed the command to chromium --profile-directory="Default" and it was fixed."
