How do I remove the SearchLotto 'Toolbar Settings' page (slp://options.options.html) from opening up every time I start Firefox?
When I open Firefox on my W10 Lenovo Laptop (not this computer!), it not only opens my selected homepage, but immediately also opens a searchlotto Toolbar Settings page (slp://options/options.html) (see screendump) which I have to delete each time before progressing to use Firefox as my browser. How can I stop this happening? There does not appear to be any reference to it in the Firefox/Tools/Options. regards YorkJo Sorry - I can't get the screenDump image to upload.

It sounds as though you already checked your home page setting:
For anyone else reading, check your home page setting for a vertical bar followed by the address of the second tab:
https://goodsite/folder/page.html|http://badsite/etc.
In your case, because of the short delay opening the second tab, it sounds more like something related to an extension. You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. Any extensions that Firefox installs on its own are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage. Anything suspicious? If in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox before the change takes effect. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
