Hi dhgold, you get that page if you either

• Launch a new window (Ctrl+n)
• Click the Home button or press Alt+Home on the keyboard

Or is the problem with a new tab page (Ctrl+t) ?

If it's the home page, please check your setting on the Options page in case it somehow changed: How to set the home page.

If I launch a new tab I get a blank page with a small Google search space at the top, which is fine.

If I hit the Home button I get a blank page with a big Google space in the middle, which is great, that is just what I want.

However, if I go to the menu at upper right and click on New Window I get the "Sign in or create a Firefox Account" which I do not want.

Does that clarify the situation?

Wow, usually New Window and Home give you exactly the same page or pages. I don't understand how you're getting that.

Hi, I followed your advice on another post:

Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar browser.startup.homepage

and I got to this:

{"message_id":"WNP_MOMENTS_1","url":"https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/welcome/1/","expire":1583374274562}

which was next to:

browser.startup.homepage_override.once

Could that be the problem and, if so, can I delete it without causing problems? Thanks.

Hi dhgold, yes, you can reset

browser.startup.homepage

No problem. There should be a little button at the right end of the row to reset, or you can double click and paste in your preferred address,

Are you part of a personalization study perhaps? You can check your studies page to see whether one of those might be the source of the unexpected home page. This article has more info: About Studies.

Great!!! I guess I got there in a roundabout way but deleting that line worked and I now am getting the home page I wanted. Thank you very, very much.

....... Also, I checked and I wasn't involved in any studies.
