If possible, can you please provide a screenshot or URL of the page that you are having issues with?
You can check the home page setting.
- Options/Preferences -> General -> Startup: Home page

Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
I did what you suggested. But, when I closed that window, then clicked on the Firefox icon to open it again, the Firefox privacy notice opened up again. It is in a different tab, but it keeps opening up on it's own. I want that to stop. How do I stop the Firefox privacy notice from opening? See above screen shot sent previously. Thank you for your assistance.
So this page isn't part of the Firefox homepages ?
You can check for problems with preferences.
- delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename/remove the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in current Firefox releases

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:preferences page.

I don't know if it is part of Firefox home pages or not. It started when Firefox posted about the privacy changes. After reading it, I closed out of it and went on with what I was doing. The next time I opened the Firefox browser, it popped up again, and all my "home" page stuff had changed. My home page is supposed to be MSN.com and my search engine Goodsearch. I went through the process to reset my homepage and my search engine, but the privacy thing keeps opening in a new tab every time I log on, and it's been doing it for several days. Plus, it took several tries to get it to set the home page and search engine to what I prefer. But the privacy thing keeps coming back in a new tab, which sometimes causes the regular home page to not load correctly, and says the page isn't available because of server issues. I don't know what js files are or where to find them.
