Correct. There are two pages. The "first run" (not sure what it's really
called) page is a special page that should only come up the very first
time you install a new release. The "start" page or "home" page is a
different page, configurable by the user and will come up on all
subsiquent starts of the Browser.
This is slightly modified behavior. We've had the two different pages

first run of a new profile and you'd never see it again on that profile.
Now you will see it pop up 1 time with each new release you install.
This will allow for older profiles upgrading to a new release to see a
"what's new since the last release" page or something like that. The
feature is controversial and probably a bit confusing to folks who
install every new Milestone.
