I recently did a recovery on my laptop. Now, every time I open Firefox, my Gmail opens in a different tab at the same time. Only happens with Firefox. Not Chrome or Explorer.

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage

What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home
