How do I stop this from coming up since I have the most current version of fire fox according to my "about" screen. Guessing this is a way to hack me, but don't know how to stop if from popping up even though it is not my "home page". I'm at version 56.0.2 (64-bit)

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage

What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home
