Every time my computer has been idle for a while and I start Firefox, it opens 2 tabs and one of them says "Take a Tour" and my homepage is changed to google.

Type about:config<Enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type;

browser.feeds.showFirstRunUI and set the value to false

That entry is not there. The only thing close is browser.feeds. handler; ask I copied and pasted your path so I know I entered it correctly. Any other suggestions?

That pref is about showing some information if you use feeds for the first time.

You can set this pref to false:

  • browser.uitour.enabled = false
