despite home page set as default,prefs file being deleted. (twice) it still opens in welcome window, alongside is my home page tab,add on checking doesnt finish .
everytime I open firefox. checking for add ons flashes up and disappears then welcome page opens, my home page tab is alongside it. I have uninstalled firefox. deleted the prefs file. instructed my privacy programme to ignore firefox all to no avail. I know I can edit user.js but not sure how. I can open it in notepad as instructed in help files but have no idea what to do next and what to edit.

Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

Thank you. It was a minor annoyance but I am a bit like a dog with a bone and have little technical knowledge just obstinacy. I have deleted both user.js and prefs file and it is fine now, thanks.
Glad to hear it
