Extensions (also known as add-ons) are small programs you can install to add features to Firefox. Some extensions can take control of the home page (what you see when you start Firefox, open a new window, or click the home icon [[Image:Home Button 57]] in the toolbar) or the [[New Tab page in Firefox|New Tab page]] (what you see when you open a new tab). If this happens, Firefox will ask you when you open it for the first time if that change is okay. ;[[Image:Fx83NewTabChange-MomentumAddon]] __TOC__ =View and disable the extension= #[[T:optionspreferences]] #Click '''Home'''. #Under '''New Windows and Tabs''', it will indicate which extension has changed your home page or New Tab page. #;[[Image:DisableExtensionNewTab]] #Click {button Disable Extension} to prevent the extension from changing your home or New Tab page again.
