How do I stop Firefox from opening a second tab for my email
I recently (2 days ago) changed email accounts. Now, when I open Firefox it opens to my new home page, but has started opening a tab to load my OLD email account. It never did this before, so I'm assuming that I did something wrong. How do I stop it from loading my old email (I have no access !) and change it to my new email ?
Thanks, Leo Martin

Hi Leo, Firefox can be set up with multiple "home tabs" that appear at startup and in any new window (Ctrl+n). To edit your home tabs, you can use the Options page.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
Toward the top of the page, in the Startup section, check the Home Page field:
Look for a vertical bar character. As a simple example with short URLs:
https://mail.google.com/|https://outlook.live.com/owa/
The bar definitely can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete everything to the right of it then, finally, the bar.
Firefox will save the edit when you tab out of or click away from that box. Then you can close the tab and Firefox should not open it along with your home page.
You can test by pressing Ctrl+n to launch a new window. Success?
If the problem returns the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again, we can advise on how to tackle that situation.
