After the last update, I've been getting news story pop ups in the bottom right corner. How do I shut this off?

After the last update, I've been getting news story pop ups in the bottom right corner. How do I shut this off? I have gone into Settings and shut off the various notification and push options that always seem to turn on after updates, but it continues. I never got the pop ups until right after the last update finished.

Could this be from an add-on?

It is the Firefox homepage. I went in and shut off all the suddenly allowed "Pocket" options (which must turn on automatically.... I never did). But it still pops up.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
