I'm new to Mac. Mac OS X ver 10.6.7. Prefer Firefox to Safari. I've been using Firefox on all my PC's and install is for all customers, I work with seniors. I've upgraded the Mac to Firefox 5.0

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. If this solution does not work then try the following linearly:

-> How to set the home page (for blank pages) https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page

-> Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20has%20just%20updated%20tab%20shows%20each%20time%20you%20start%20Firefox

-> Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20keeps%20opening%20many%20tabs%20or%20windows?s=blank+pages&as=s

Check and tell which solution worked.
