When I click on FB I go to a thread posted almost 7 months ago. Why?

When I click on the Facebook icon from the Firefox home page it doesn't go to my Facebook home page, it goes to a posted thread from last August.

Could you describe your home page a bit more?

The built-in home page has a big search box, but I don't think it has any icons for specific websites.

Are you using a Speed Dial-type add-on for your home page? Or is it a portal website where you can add favorites??
