I've been using Chrome for a long time, and I've been slowly switching over all my bookmarks, passwords, etc to Firefox. I'm running Linux mint for context.

Every time I open Firefox, it opens the home tab, and after a second or two it opens Mozilla Rally in a new tab, and it drives me ABSOLUTELY BONKERS, because I get halfway through typing in a website, and I'm redirected to this new tab I care nothing about, and for some reason cannot get rid of it in the minimal startup settings that actually exist.

That's some straight up Microsoft Internet Explorer sh!t there, and yes that was meant as an insult.

I have not been able to find any reference or any way to make that not happen, and it is seriously making me consider abandoning Firefox entirely. Don't make me go back to Chrome.

Please help.

We don't have anything like this. Didn't you turn it on somehow? Go to Add-ons, find Mozilla Rally and try to remove it.

I made a mistake when I originally posted this question, I thought it was opening Mozilla Rally at first, it's actually opening the Mozilla Homepage in a new tab. When I go to the settings, and change the startup tabs to just the page I want, and uncheck the box labeled "Mozilla Homepage", it still does it.

Remove the Mozilla Rally extension, then visit about:studies in the address bar and remove any studies with the word "Rally".

The System Details shows this extension:

  • name: Mozilla Rally, type: extension, version: 0.5.3

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Hilfreich?
