Some web pages will pop up the print dialog automatically. In particular, pages that websites have specially formatted for printing may do this.

Are you restoring tabs that you previously opened, or starting up with your home page(s)? I suspect that one of them is generating the dialog. You could check by going to each one and reloading the page to see whether it is from that page.

This was exactly the problem. I do restore previous tabs and one of them was formatted to print. I closed the tab and the dialogue box no longer appears. Thank you for your help
