Every time I open Firefox, 2 tabs open, first is the normal Firefox tab, second is Google Chrome which opens and bypasses the first tab. I don't want Google Chrome tab to exist and stop appearing.

Hi ghostwriter412, Thank you for your question, I understand that there is a second tab that shows up as the homepage when you launch Firefox.

Change this with these instructions:

  1. Open Firefox Options/Preferences from the "three-bar" menu
  2. In General delete the url that appears on start up
  3. Restart Firefox

Customizing home page:

If resetting the start up pages did not change this after restarting the browser. It is possible to try to Reset Firefox to the factory default.
