This has been happening for the past 3-4 days. I click to open Firefox and anywhere from 3 to 6 separate windows open along with 1-2 sign in windows and a web address that I was on 2 days ago. If I close them all, and just leave one open, when I try to access any website, all the windows open again.

Are those multiple pages set as your Home pages?

See How to set the home page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

No - my home page is Google News. The real estate page that keeps appearing is a page I was looking thru. However, can't figure why 3 home pages and one sign in page keep appearing. Also when I click on "home" it happens again.

Re-setting the Home page did the trick (I think). by clicking on the icon to the left of the Home page and dragging it to the Home icon as you indicated. Would never have thought of that one. So thanks a lot. An annoying problem has been resolved!!!
