When Firefox opens, delete the Welcome tab, then go to: Tools > General and set the Home Page.

Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

See these articles for some suggestions:

• Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix
• How to set the home page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

OMG, by refreshing this page, text in post was erased, not good,

Again, When Starting Firefox 8, the Welcome tab keeps returning or coming back, even after changing URL homepage to other URL, Why does it keep re-appearing, and how does one stop it from popping up and primary first tab, along with new URL tab, Do users have to revert to Firefox 7 in order to stop nuisance, as FF 7 did not keep coming back, but recall Firefox 6 did same thing,

Did you check for problems with the prefs.js file (and possible user.js file) and delete that file?
