Every time I launch Firefox it loads my home page in one tab and the Firefox Updated page in another tab. I do not want or need to see the Firefox Updated page anymore. How do I stop it?

There was already nothing checked on that tab of the options dialog box.

The home page is set to http://ask.com

This setting hasn't changed since before the update was applied (I did check it).
