Apparently the map will go away on its own in a few days, after which you'll see the Firefox logo as usual.
If you can't wait that long,
- Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
- To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
- In the search box, paste browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl
- In the search results, double-click browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl
- In the "Enter string value" dialog, press the Delete key so that there's no text remaining, then press either Enter or the OK button. As a side-effect, only default tips will be displayed below the search box, because new ones won't be fetched from the web anymore.
- Type about:support into the address bar and press Enter.
- Click the Show Folder button. A Windows Explorer window with your profile folder opens. In that window, open the storage folder, then the persistent subfolder.
- Exit Firefox.
- Delete the moz-safe-about+home folder.
