I don't want the browser to return to a prior web page. How do I remove that feature?
At one point firefox asked if I wanted to return to a prior web page upon opening, and I checked "yes," but I want to change that so it just opens to Google.

Open the Options window (in the tools menu select Options). Go to the General panel and in the Startup section change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Shown my home page" and make sure the Home Page in the box just below is set to Google. If you click on the "Restore to Default" button the home page will be set to a Firefox branded Google search page.
