Please also delete the sessionstore.* files in the Firefox Profile Folder after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder from Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder. If the problem persists please try to Reset toolbars and controls and Make Changes and Restart in the Firefox Safe Mode startup screen.

Do you mean that you get two tabs in the same window or two windows with each one tab?

Did you check for problems with the file(s) that store the preferences and delete or move the prefs.js file and possible user.js file?

Did you give it a try to (re)move the prefs.js and user.js files to see if that helps?
