I refreshed Firefox today to try and fix a failure to make a secure connection to my social security account login. Now two tabs appear when I open my homepage on MSN : "my social security account" and "Mozilla Firefox Start Page." I looked in your help section but found nothing that specifically address this. I am still unable to log into my social security account but the problem seems to be with the government site. I get "unable to establish a secure connection" error. There were no extra tabs there before today. I am enclosing a snip file.---------NOTE-----The .PNG file is not uploading here. The progress indicator keeps spinning. I am using Windows 10 on a laptop computer.

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

What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home

You can also check the home page setting in Options/Preferences.

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
