Since you posted your settings, I can see that many pages have been included in your "home page" page. If you check the Options dialog, you will see these URLs separated by vertical bar (|) characters. You can delete the unwanted URLs, or clear everything and start fresh. This article has the steps: How to set the home page.

It might not be relevant now, but one other way you can get unexpected windows and tabs at startup is if Firefox thinks it did not shut down properly (crashed) at the end of the previous session. In that case, it will try to automatically restore your previous windows and tabs.

Its because you have asked firefox to start with what all web site you are browsing. So when you open FF after closing it open all the pages you were browsing .


You can change it to other options as well, Start with home page or show blank page.


Go to Firefox > General (TAB) > startup section

Change options in When Firefox starts to your choice
