I have been using Firefox for many years and install it everyday on many clients computers. When setting the clients homepage and saving it, the options setup page appears EVERYTIME when starting Firefox. This has never happen with previous versions Firefox? It does not matter what I have done I still see the options page when restarting Firefox. Please include this fix in the next update.

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage

Double click the entry, then carefully remove the option page Only.

You can check the home page setting to see if the about:preferences page is appended (|about:preferences#general).

This can happen if you click "Use Current Page(s)" to set the home page and about:preferences is open in a tab. You can pin the tab with the about:preferences page to prevent including about:preferences to the home page setting if you want to use this button. To set a single page as the home page you can drag the globe/padlock to the toolbar Home button.
