It used to be that I could start Firefox when all I wanted to do is to get access to the WEB. Now I don't get the WEB access box

Are you getting a weird unexpected page? Or is Firefox restoring your previous session? Something else?

The home page setting and new tab setting lets you choose between the "Firefox Home" page and a blank page. (The home page also allows any URLs you like.) Add-ons can change this to a different page. You can use the Home section of the Settings page to select:

Can you attach a screenshot?

You can check for issues caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation that is missing runtime components (Redistributable Packages) required by Firefox, especially VCRUNTIME140_1.dll.

See "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022":

You may also have to install the Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable Package. You need to reboot the computer.
