How do I remove the annoying new 28.0 Tab that launches to show an advertisement for various websites?

When I open the new Firefox 28.0 Browser, it creates a "tab" that takes me to a page with 14 icons with links to: Facebook, YouTube, AliExpress, Booking.com, Gameo, Twitter, Amazon, eBay,

Outlook, Tumblr, and Instagram.

I do not want this advertising "Tab" to load when I open a new Firefox browser window.

How do I permanently prevent this "tab" and "advertising page" from opening?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

Happens in Safe Mode?

Try restore your home page:

Or

Try go to about:config search for browser.startup.homepage change its value to:

about:home - default
about:blank - blank page
url - type a link that you want

Please, try give us a screen of this tab:
