How can I stop firefox from checking add-ons and displaying the What's new page each time I launch it
Since upgrading to the latest version, I have viewed read and interacted with everything on the What's new page. I have done this a number of times but the page is still opened each time I launch Firefox. In addition it shows my homepage in a second tab. Prior to opening Firefox it checks for add-ons.

hello Michells, this will likely be caused by the user.js file in your profile folder. go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named user.js and restart the browser afterwards.

Thanks Phillip. I am no longer pulling my hair!
