My son set the homepage and used the help tab to find out how to  do it. Now the "how to set homepage" help tab keeps  popping up in the tab  browser. It does it very time FireFox is loaded. It also  pops up in the tab browser during different times while on line. Not serious but still a pain. Not sure if it a bug or something else.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Not sure what the hell happened as I was not present at the time .

2. He can't figure out what he did.
3.

If you set the home page, then the button is called 'Use Current Pages' - pages with an S. That's because all tabs are saved together. In your case, it included the tab where the help was located.

You can either change the location in the homepage field on Tools->Options->Main (the different locations are separated with an | ), you can go to that home page, make sure that all other tabs are closed, and then go to Tools->Options->Main and set the homepage again.
