Firefox opens on start up to a random webpage
2 weeks ago I visited a git hub page to try to find a solution to my Logitech keyboard problem.
Then all of a sudden I noticed that on start up, this webpage kept automatically opening. Needless to say, I have disabled open on start. I have cleared cache data, refreshed the browser and uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing gets rid of this opening webpage.
Why? Even when the browser is uninstalled, something keeps attempting to execute the command / process to open this webpage. How can I kill it? I did download only an afk file, surely it wasn't a virus? This is just a random person from Israel who posted about a keyboard. Surely I am not hacked? Please help me kill this random problem.
To reiterate, this website automatically opens on start up on matter what.

Check the desktop shortcut properties for extra command line parameters or just delete it and create a new one.
Launch firefox.exe directly.
Don't sign in to your sync account after refreshing your profile.
Change your default browser in Windows to something else and see if that makes any difference.
