Make sure you haven't accidentally set it as your new tab url. To do that type about:config in your address bar, and search browser.newtabl.url in the search bar of the page that comes up. Double click it to change the value to about:newtab.

See if that helps. Also, if the new tab url is about:newtab, try starting Firefox in safe mode.

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....

Anyway thanks  :-)
