TB Automatically Opens Bing Settings and Add-On Settings at Startup. How to make it stop?
Heyo,
So I'm punting as tech support in my office, and don't use TB myself. What's happening is on startup, a Bing settings page and the TB add-ons page are loading in tabs in addition to the inbox tab.
X'ing the tabs individually does remove them, but I need to make them stop loading at startup for the sanity of this older gentleman.
There are no modifiers on the shortcuts to open the program, no homepages listed in options. What am I missing?
Thanks buckets for any input.

Thunderbird opens just like it was closed. If he had the Add Ons tabs active when he closed it last time it is going to open that way next time. I am not sure what the Bing page is unless it is some kind of search that he was doing before closing.

Well, counter to everything I thought must be happening, you are dead on, Airmail.
Once those tabs were closed and it restarted, it was fine. That'll teach me to overcomplicate things.
Thank you.
The only time that this gets messed up is when they run cleaner software like CCleaner that deletes settings because it thinks it knows best. You can set CCleaner to leave the Thunderbird, or other software, files along to stop that issue. Glad you got it working.
The other common issue is people complaining about all the message tabs accumulating across the top of the screen and moving the Inbox tab out of view. This is because they open messages in tabs and never close them. You can right click one tabs and select Close Other Tabs and then use the x to close the last one. Then explain to them how to close tabs after reading messages. :)
