How can I prevent the message: "You're almost there" from popping up every time I start Firefox 6?

First time it happened was when I just upgraded F 5.* to F 6. After several times I decided to remove/uninstall all of Firefox from my laptop and and clean the registry. It didn't help! Every time I start the latest installed Firefox 6, the message pops up in a tab.

All you have to do is change your home page back to what it was before you upgraded to Firefox 6. (Tools/Options/Home Page.

(For some reason, Firefox 6 changes your homepage to an earlier version of Firefox. Consequently, Firefox thinks you have an earlier version and gives you the message.)
