Firefox 4 does not open to my Home Pages but to a blank tab with Green Firefox block at the top of the screen.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. I added Favicon Picker 2 and Identfavicon 0.3.4c. Now when Firefox starts, it does not open to my home page tabs. Instead opens with a blank tab, and the screen has two title bars (with min, max, close buttons). The top one has the firefox icon and firefox title. The second one has Firefox in a Green box with a dropdown menu. How do I get firefox to open to my home page tabs?

Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

But wouldn't a new profile not have bookmarks and a blank bookmark tab? That would be worse than a blank tab. I just want firefox to open to my homelands. I don't understand how a new profile would help.
