Multiple Tabs Opened When Starting Safari [ MacOS Big Sur Ver. 11.1 ]

Went to open Safari today and now have multiple tabs opened upon start. Don't know how this started. Might it have happened when I accidentally keyed "poutlook.com" instead of outlook.com? When that happen a whole lot of windows opened and i was getting a buzzing alarm like sound from my mac mini. I was able to shut down Safari, but in the back of mind I wonder if this started the issue. What do community members suggest to solve this issue. (Note: I used MS Edge to ask this question. The multiple tabs opened is not happening this browser, only Safari. TIA.

Luckily my daughter just lives two house away. She is a Macanista and a computer programmer, but most importantly fresh eyes to see the screen. Apparently, I must have tweaked a setting while setting up my new home page.

So, I did the following:

Safari - Preferences - General - New tabs open with - select with arrow - Empty Page and viola, no more of my bookmarks were opening all at the same time at startup. I accidentally had it set for the tabs to open with the start page. Doh! I pulled a Homer. 🤣 🤪 Thanks for offering your time Barney-15E
