Support,

After updating Firefox to 159.0, two Firefox windows were opened although only one was open at the time before Firefox was closed during a Windows 11 Update! The first window was expected but the one below at the URL was not:

Hi, I'm a little suspicious that one of your add-ons could be involved.

Tips for checking those: Review installed extensions

If you launch a new window using Ctrl+N, does the Yahoo search page appear? That would indicate that it was set as your home page. To edit that, see: How to set the home page.

If it only appears when you use your Firefox desktop/taskbar shortcut, the shortcut might be "hacked." We can describe how to clean that up if you see a connection there.

Did you find anything so far?
