Every time I open up Firefox, the first tab loads up my Home Page. But none of my navigation buttons work. I cant go back or home or anything.Then the back, foreword, reload and stop buttons will work after I open up a new tab. I still can not click the home button, well i click it, but It just does nothing, and yes i have made sure I have a home page set. I am never able to close the first tab that opens with the browser until i close the entire browser. I am able to close any tab i open after, but never the first one.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

You may also have a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
