Options tab pops up when browser opened
When I open Firefox on a Windows 10 PC two tabs appear. The home page tab shows open on the screen, but a second tab, options, appears on top of the window. It does not open unless I click on it, but I would like to stop it from showing up at all, unless I want it. Just a minor irritation.

Firefox uses a vertical bar ('|') to separate multiple home pages. You can check the home page setting to see if the about:preferences page is included as one of the home pages (|about:preferences#general).
The about:preferences page gets included as one of the home pages if you click "Use Current Page(s)" to set the home page and about:preferences is open in a tab. If you want to use the "Use Current Pages" button in "Options/Preferences > General" then you can pin the tab with the about:preferences page via the right-click context menu of the tab to prevent including about:preferences to the home page setting. You can drag the globe/padlock at the left end of the location/address bar to the toolbar Home button to set a single page as the home page.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
It worked. Thanks.
