I search the web have multiple tabs open close all with click to red X in top right, then when I open firefox 5min or 5 hours or the next day (after turning computer of for the night) it opens the same web tabs that I closed before. I have to close all individually and leave with only home page open before I turn it off so that it will turn on with home page only. I have gone to options have everything set the way I want it, still doesn't work, have gone to control panel Internet options have it set to open with home page still doesn't work, have searched and only thing I can find is how to make this happen and have done the opposite, still doesn't work.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see the name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
