The link may have accidentally gotten set as your home page. If so, you can fix this by following the instructions in this article: How to set the home page
You can also choose what Firefox does when it starts in the Options (see When Firefox starts).
Does this happen when you start Firefox or when you open a new tab?
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
- the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
- the default home page is about:home
- for a blank page you can use about:blank
The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
