Why is there a blank tab when I open firefox when there wasn't one before?

When I open firefox, I have it set to only open ONE home page but for some reason, it opens that page and then a blank one. How do I get rid of the annoying blank tab that pops up with my home page now? It is extremely annoying. Thanks!

You can check the home page setting:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
