Thanks I checked the homepage settings, and my home page and the page for the privacy policy page were in the both listed in the settings box. I have deleted the unwanted pages.

Thanks for your help

Hi seantivenan, Firefox allows assigning multiple tabs to the "home page" setting. To test whether the home page setting might be the problem, pop up a new window using Ctrl+n or choose New Window from the menu. If you have the unwanted tabs there, it's definitely worth checking this article: How to set the home page.

Was that it?
