Firefox defaulting to VPN Ad

How do I stop Firefox showing a periodic ADVERTISEMENT INSTEAD OF MY HOME PAGE? This has happened several times now, I open my browser, expecting to be at my home page with all my links etc, but no, it's a F&%&*$G ADVERTISEMENT! Uhm, so guess what, not interested, don't ever advertise to me. I will NEVER use your VPN, Simply because you hijacked my browser and advertised directly to my PC. Disgusting Practice and if it happens again or there is no way to turn it off then Mozilla will join the List of Companies that myself and my thousands of followers already Boycott widely on Social Media. This could hurt your reputation on an extreme level (ie. imagine every kid that loves a certain sports drink right now suddenly calling for the demise of Mozilla, ouch)...... I suggest you proceed VERY VERY carefully before providing me a response.

Firefox will periodically show an advertisement for Mozilla VPN, for example, after a Firefox update; see this recent reddit thread for more information.

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.
