Why do three new tabs open every time I press the "home" icon?

Three new tabs open every time I press the home icon. I and two others have looked through all my settings and have contacted Mozilla (no response) and can't figure out why this is happening? Anyone have a clue how to stop this incredibly annoying problem from continuing?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Upon install of Windows 7

See How to set the home page: Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.
