The second window is labeled Locate Link Browser.

You can upload a screenshot as an attachment.

Also, Tools>Options>Main>Startup

Tell me what your startup settings are.  You probably are restoring from a session or have a broken homepage.  Try setting it to startup by going to your homepage and use www.google.com as that page.
