Why does my browser open a about:blank page

I have a Galaxy S5 and this has been bugging me for weeks but every time I open my browser an about:blank page opens up and it is really frustrating to keep closing it so is there any way I could fix this

What browser are you using?

Have you set a home page in the browser?

I'm using the default browser and I have Google set as my home page

Do you have "new tabs" set to Always Open.

Made double sure that the Home Page URL is correct.

Make sure that the Default action is to Open the Home Page.

Do you have it set to forget all tabs when it closes?

4 separate items that can cause this action.

To me, About:blank is a Firefox function. Are you using the firefox browser?

About:config will allow you to control just about every aspect of a Firefox browser.

I feel like you were looking around thru the browser settings and then somehow tickled some settings you did not want. I would go back into Settings and click on Reset to Defaults. That will make it always go to the home page.
