Firefox no longer takes me directly to my home page after clicking on its desktop ikon. Why?

Following my download of the last Firefox update instead of getting my yahoo home page by clicking on Firefox ikon I now get a Google page with a search bar. By left-clicking thereon a drop-down button "google.com" appears below the bar. Clicking thereon gives me a page of many Yahoo links. Clicking on the topmost finally gets me my home page. That's two or three more steps than I had to take before. The update didn't improve things for me. It made using Firefox more inconvenient.

I have been accessing Firefox home page more recently than 7 months ago -- just a few hours ago, for instance. But now, this time suddenly Firefox is putting obstacles in my way. WHY ??
