Upon clicking on New Tab, instead of getting a new tab with my homepage, I get a tab and page that say:  "Welcome to Tabbed browsing" I don't want this,I want a page opened to my home page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on "New Tab"
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I get a tab labeled "Welcome to Tabbed Browsing" and a page that says "You have opened a new tab"...(I don't want this, how do I turn this off!)

Expected Results:  
Upon clicking on "New Tab", a new tab normally opens to my default web page (home page) with a corresponding tab label.


Should just open a new tab displaying my default web page.  How do I get rid of this "tabbed browsing" stuff?

When seeing your User-Agent string at the top of comment 0, it seems to me that you're using the IETab extension, which displays Internet Explorer inside Firefox ? 

Normal Explorer has a checkbox on that page that says "Don't show this page
again" (at the bottom). Can't you use that ? You should restart Internet
Explorer (which means, Firefox in this case, since IE runs inside Firefox), to
see the effect.
