Since our last laptop automatic upgrade, Firefox opens to a google page which is actively using up our WiFi network service. We have been removing between 5000 and 7000 cookies or files each end every time we perform a cc-cleaner function (which is every other day). Please reverse your auto up-grade to the previous settings.

firefox will not log onto a wifi the user must set or save the login to wifi for this to work. So I think you got other issues going on with your computer.

Firefox opens to a google page

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. [v63+] Type about:preferences#home

There are two settings;

  • When Firefox Starts

When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.

  • Home Page

When a new page is opened, what do you want to be displayed?

  1. Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
  2. Use Bookmark
  3. Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.

You can use any of these that you wish;

about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),

or you can enter any webpage or about: page you want.
