If this occurs any time you open a new window or click the Home button, you may have two pages set as your home tabs. This article describes how to replace your current home page settings with a new one: How to set the home page.

If this only occurs when you use your Firefox shortcut on the desktop or task bar, one or more URLs might have been added to the shortcut. You can check that by right-clicking the shortcut > Properties > Shortcut tab > "Target" field. Make sure there are no URLs on the end.

It's also possible that this behavior results from an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Any improvement?
