Have you tried setting Firefox to show a blank page rather than your home page at startup?
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

I am also having the same problem and I tried with this setting but still same problem..

That's strange. It works for me.

I really only use Chrome, so it's not really a problem I care to solve.

FWIW there's Alt+D for that. Works in Windows Explorer and other browsers too.

Try:
1. Ctrl+K -> Focus on search box on your current page.
2. type search keywords.
3. validate with Alt+Enter instead of Enter.
This opens a new tab with the search results. Alt+Enter also works while typing a URL in the current page

When I'm reading about "IT advice" for skills in demand it is always something like that :
We need lots of web developers,
And linux is good, we need more,
But .NET is also in demand, new kids don't want to code on it as it is not deemed "sexy"
But mobile app are booming, go mobile !
And java, we need java for system communication,
But Embedded is also in demand for the next internet of things !!!
Don't forget big data !
Then I ask myself, why in the hell developers that seek jobs should read such bullshit when whatever he learns, he will stay in demand.
When I read such IT post, I realize that my time would be as better invested in watching lolcatz videos... And I'm not even searching for job or contract... Silly click addiction. Back to code.

Learn the underlying concepts, we need IT people who understand the underlying concepts. You can then apply these in whatever language you like.
Learn to communicate with people. We need IT people who actually have people skills. Propeller-heads are a dime a dozen, there is real money to be made when you have solid technical skills and can also speak to humans.

Let's first define what's human and what is not. Without risking to insult anyone, there are a few sorts who seem to run from one meeting room to the next, obviously don't understand a word you say while producing endless streams of nonsense and buzzwords themselves.
Sure, I know they are not just drones that are fed until they are actually of any use some day. Still, I will never really understand the need for their posing, their politics and their other passtimes, just as they cannot understand that there are people who actually are there to do a job.
Fine, if that makes me one of your propeller-heads. I see far too few of them when there is work to be done.

I think "can speak to humans" means "can control the stupid", in this context.

Skype them? Remoting is a fine......oh. Snipe. Communicating with people is a risky proposition. They might achieve sentience.

I was forced to take journalism in high school and was taught to put the most important information first. I have noticed, with the rise of Google Scanning of online new sources, if they source even has any information, it is now buried at the bottom in order to force readership.
Ah, the ads.
To be honest, I won't pay for content online, not because I won't pay but because I don't believe I can pay and be relieved of all ads. My commercial free Sirius subscription is full of ads.

I wouldn't really know, when my subscription runs out I just buy a new car, it seems easier that way.

I won't bore you with a long story but I did a favor for a family member and they latched onto my credit card and I had to turn in/tear up a credit card to get rid of them.

Thank you! Once in a while I wonder if I should respond to the letters they send me, telling me to do the trial subscription thing. I always dump the letters in my "I'll get to it later" pile, but now I can just throw them away.

I stayed-up late last night waiting for my 17 yo daughter to return from her date with her boyfriend.
It's about 11:30pm in our very quite neighborhood and I'm comfortable downstairs on the couch watching an old episode of Star Trek on Netflix when I hear a strange sound. I pause the episode to better hear the sound and it's someone honking their horn. I open the front door to see what all the commotion is about and there's a car out front with loud music playing and with its horn honking.
I assume it's my daughter and her boyfriend trying to get my attention, (as I recognize the car) so I wave at them and the honking stops. So I close the door, and the honking continues. I flash the house lights, but the honking continues. I look around for my shoes, as I'm barefoot and it's cold outside. The honking continues. Fearing the reaction of the neighbors to the honking, I go outside in my bare feet and bathrobe and walk up to the car.
It's my daughter and her boyfriend kissing in the front seat; she in his arms against the steering wheel --- hence the honking. I knock on the driver's window. He stops, looks straight up at me, but goes right back to "work". I'm thinking "wow, this guy is really cheeky...". I knock on the window again, harder this time. He stops again, finally recognizes that someone is actually there and it's her Dad! He gets a horrified and terrified look on his face, but I'm actually laughing. My daughter gets out of the car laughing, and he drives quickly away.
My daughter is shocked and embarrassed to learn the horn was honking while they were kissing. Hilarity ensued.
