Help! Unwanted Yahoo image page on Firefox startup

I'm trying to diagnose an unusual problem on a relative's computer elsewhere in the country via TeamViewer. When Firefox is initiated, the same picture (a man taking a shower) appears, and the VERY 'long URL starts with a Yahoo image file (yimg) and also contains buzzfeed.com well into that URL. I thought I could easily diagnose this, and have failed. Home page is set to blank page. I cleared all browsing data. When that failed I exported bookmarks, created a new profile, and the problem still continued, even before importing the bookmarks or adding any extensions. Something is retaining the unwanted startup behavior. Tonight, out of desperation, I will reconnect and look through the registry.

Can anyone surmise why an unwanted URL is being invoked upon Firefox startup?

被選擇的解決方法

I'll answer my own inquiry: Changed the default home page from blank to some arbitrary URL. Restarted Firefox and that intended URL came up. Changed it back to blank page, restarted, and Life Is Good. It would appear to be a glitch in Firefox.
