How do I stop the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" from loading everytime I start Firefox? My home page is opening AND the (totally useless) 'start page'.

Just installed Firefox on my second Windows machine (running XP Home). Unlike my other installation, every time I start Firefox I get TWO tabs - my home page AND a "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" that contains only a Google search input. I don't need the useless start page, but haven't found anything that tells me how to stop it from loading.

Try This works good for those who aren't computer tech savvy like me 

   Type about:config in the address bar
   Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
   In the Filter input field type startup
   Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
   Delete the text string and click OK
   Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.

Hopefully this helps!

I just tried this myself and it totally worked for me Good Luck
