Why does the Options tab keep coming up to give me several options tabs while I am using Firefox? How can I avoid this nuisance?
When I bought my computer and downloaded Firefox, I went into Options to customize my preferences. Since then when I open Firefox, the Options tab appears, in addition to my home page tab, and as I use the browser more and more Options tabs appear. This is a nuisance that I have not been able to eliminate. I have the latest browser.

Hi serge77, next time you are on the Options page, remove its address from your home page setting before closing the page. Here's what I mean:
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://mozilla.org/|about:preferences
The bar definitely can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete whichever of these you find --
|about:preferences |about:preferences#general
et cetera
-- I suggest deleting the bar last so things don't accidentally get mushed together.
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.
