Check your preferences for homepage settings otherwise look at you Addons there could be a package there opening extra tabs that was installed without your knowing it. Also look at your Add/Remove uninstaller and see if there is something installed there aks "toolbars" or similar that by itself can also open tabs without your permission as well.
