Firefox on Android not working since last update

(I posted this 5mins ago, showed up under All Products and got cut off, will try again). Following the most recent update last week, Firefox now opens with a page labelled "Firefox Browser" and shows three options for links, including Google (my previous home page), getpocket.com (huh?!), and Wikipedia. None of those pages load when I select them. When I hit the "back" button and try another, it doesn't automatically close the previous selection. Help!

Hi

To help me to look into this:

  1. What is the device and model of the Android device you are using?
  2. What version of Android is installed on it?

Samsung Note, a few years old, not sure of other model details or where to find them. Android version 6.0.1. (and what is getpocket.com, and why has it been added to that new home page? And why Wikipedia, for that matter? What happened to simply loading my home page on start up?)

Google is now responding when I click that icon. However, is there any way to have it open as Home Page when I open Firefox? (instead of "Firefox Browser"). And tabs from prior searches don't automatically close when I close Firefox, so unless I manually close each one, I have multiple tabs open. Can that be changed?
