How do I get rid of two tabs opening when I first open Firefox?
When I first open Firefox I get my home page in one tab but another tab opens also. That one is set for Facebook. How do I get rid of the automatically opening second tab?

Do you get both pages if you launch a new window using either:
- Ctrl+n
- "3-bar" menu button > New Window
If yes:
Check your home page setting to see if you have multiple home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows where to check this in the Options dialog: Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings. This article has more background on multiple home tabs: How to set the home page.
If no, or if the Options dialog is okay:
Add-ons may display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, is it the normal Facebook URL (https://www.facebook.com/) or a different address?
Do you have any Facebook-related extensions? You can review, disable, and often remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?

Thanks! Somehow there were two web addresses with a slash between them for my home page. Problem solved!
