Extensions are add-ons that you can install to add or modify Firefox features. Some extensions take control of your home page (the page you see when you click the home icon or open a New Window) and the New Tab page (what you see when you open a new tab). If this happens, Firefox will ask you when you open it for the first time if that change is okay.

You can view and disable extensions that have changed your New Tab, New Window or home page from the GeneralHome panel of Firefox Settings as follows:

2. Look for the extension that made the changes to your New Tab or home page.
3. Click the ellipsis (3-dot) icon and select the Remove button next to that extension.
