I get 2 tabs opening one is the tutorial page and the other is my home page. Very annoying and i have gone thru all the step hoping this would complete something and have had no luck solving this issue.

hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click help Help-29 > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
