    Have you tried the steps as directed in the previous replies?

    I'm having the same issue as everyone else; the plugin successfully installed tab won't go away. I followed previous suggestions and have reset my homepage in the Options --> General tab multiple times, in multiple ways, to multiple different addresses. None of it has helped. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, Firefox 8.0.1 and Colorful Tabs self-updated to version 8.0.

    This is annoying.

    mdvblit: What's the value of the preference "extensions.clrtabs.firstrun"

    The value is "8.0" (no quotes). Status is "user set" if that makes any difference. I only mention it because out of all of the "extensions.clrtabls.x, all are "default" save for .firstrun and .scheme, which are "user set."

    However, as per your question, it is "8.0"

    something seems wrong with preferences. Please disable colorfultabs and see if the problem continues. By all means it will as I doubt this is a fault of colorfultabs.

    This does seem to have fixed the problem. Does this mean that Firefox itself has some incorrect setting?

    I have the answer to this problem, referencing ColorfulTabs 8.0 bringing up an unwanted tab repeatedly.

    Open the User.js file in your profile page (Help --> Troubleshooting Information --> Open Containing folder). In the file is a line that reads:

    user_pref("extensions.clrtabs.firstrun", "8.0");

    Simply delete this line from the User.js file, save and and the problem is solved. I also had lines that read:

    user_pref("extensions.clrtabs.firstrun", "7.0");

    and deleted them just to be safe. This has fixed the problem, with no loss of functionality. I'm glad that it could be fixed -- but next time, it would be nice if ColorfulTabs could find a solution to a recurring problem themselves.
