Every time I open Firefox, a second "Manage Sync" tab automatically opens. Why is this happening?

When I launch Firefox I get a tab that automatically opens bringing me to the "Manage Sync" window. Today when I launched Firefox there were two "Manage Sync" tabs. I dont know if this is an issue with 35.0.1 or not, but I just reinstalled windows on my desktop and laptop, and the tabs are automatically opening on both systems. I'm not seeing an option to stop this from happening.....whats going on?

My issue has been solved. It was my homepage settings. I must have set Gmail to my homepage while the "Manage Sync" tab was still open and it made both tabs my homepage =)
