Did you by any chance delete/move the pages your settings are pointing to? Worth checking!
Please let us know.
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0
Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Flash Player Version 20.0.0.267

Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,”
and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict.
Adobe still offers Flash 18.0.0.268 as its extended support release further down

not to my knowledge
Check the settings;
Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any web page or about: page you want.

yes I know how to use the options in firefox
i have found that if i restart firefox with "add ons disabled", that the homepages load as expected. so i am guessing that one of my add ons is causing the issue.
When i have more time i will disable them individually and see if i can determine which one is causing the issue.
If anyone could steer me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Anything about tabs
