Why does firefox opens an additional tab with RedHat's homepage ?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When applying Firefox v24 update Erratum RHSA-2014:0310 to a RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 machine. After logging into the desktop and launching Firefox, it opens an extra tab with the following URL: http://www.redhat.com/en
  • Examining the desktop's prefs.js file gives no indication of the URL.

  • Where can we find the details of the configuration file that contains the URL and settings to initiate opening the tab with the above URL.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • Firefox
