"Your Firefox has been updated" message won't go away

Every time I start Firefox after closing it, I get a screen saying "Your Firefox has been updated" plus an announcement about editing PDFs in Firefox. My degault home screen does not appear unless I click the "home" icon. This is frustrating, because the update message just won't go away.

The URL for that irritating message is: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/135.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=134.0.2&utm_medium=firefox-desktop&utm_source=update&utm_campaign=135

I've attached a screenshot to show this, hoping you can suggest a way to fix the issue.

FIXED! I used the method renaming the user.js as userOLD.js Firefox created a new user.js file, and the annoying message no longer appears.

I have this problem but I do not understand what you did or where to do it? Why can't Mozilla fix this? Can you explain what to do as if talking to a Fire Fox dummy?
