How are you opening Safari?


From a link on your desktop?

From the icon on the Dock?

From a link in an email?


Have you verified the Home Page for Safari is set to whatever you want?

Safari Menu ➜ Settings ➜ General ➜ Home Page

and Safari Menu ➜ Settings ➜ General ➜ Safari Opens With is set to "A New Window" instead of "All Windows from last session" and Safari Menu ➜ Settings ➜ General ➜ New Windows Open with is set to "Homepage"
