That is a Bug which was reported over a year and a half ago when the "in-content" preferences scheme was being created. This "in-content" was postponed and apparently the developers let this 'slip thru the cracks'. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1043586

You may use the Home Page 'box' and remove the |about:preferences characters at the end of the line to fix it.

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.
