Hi Roman, is it the page for one specific extension, or Firefox's built-in Add-ons page?
Does it also appear in new windows (Ctrl+n)?
If it's Firefox's page, check your home page setting to make sure about:addons did not get added somehow. More info in this article: How to set the home page.
Cntrl+n shows the correct page but when I restart the browser this link always appears:
Hmm, that's so strange.
On Windows, I would ask you to check whether your desktop shortcut's command line had that URL added to it. I don't know whether that is a thing on Linux.
Or is Firefox trying to alert you to some add-on or theme-related problem???
I think the problem exists when I updated from Firefox 63esr to Firefox 78esr.
What if I deleted "pref.js" located in my profile directory? That should delete any strange preferences.
I can try reinstalling. Yes?
Firefox tries to suggest a different addon each time Firefox starts up.
The prefs.js file stores the custom settings you see in about:config. You could rename it temporarily as a test -- while Firefox closed, of course (prefsOLD.js).
That did the trick! Renaming prefs.js to prefsOLD.js, restarting and selecting a new webpage from the bookmarks now works.
Thank you for your time in helping me resolve this problem.
