Is Firefox starting with msn.com news by default now?!

[Captain-Nemo]

Since the last update (I think), 99.0.1, when I start Firefox the first time in a day, it opens some msn.com news page by default. And this is not a normal version of Firefox, but a very pruned one, without the menu bar, the extension icons and other stuff.

This doesn't happen again that same day, even if I restart the computer.

Is this normal? Is this a "feature" now? How can I stop this behavior because I consider it intolerable?

Have you tried checking if any extensions are forcing this behavior?

Have you tried manually changing the homepage in the settings?

And no tabs bar? That sounds like a popup window.

Does your normal startup page open as well?

If you try to restore the last closed window using Ctrl+Shift+N (on Mac, Command+Shift+N), do you get anything?
