Is it after every restart or every update?

Try to go to Options -> General and uncheck the box next to Recommend extensions as you browse and the box next to Recommend features as you browse (both must be unchecked).

It could be the work of one of your add-ons.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.

If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.

Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.

When you scroll all the way down you will see :   "Why am I seeing this ?"

When you click on that link, it will take you to this article :

Firefox Browser welcome pages - helping you get more from Firefox products and services

There is explained how to stop seeing this nuisance, just like TyDraniu mentioned.
