As stated in the title, I do not want Firefox to remember my tabs from my last session when I close.

I have tried the "Never Remember History", but that logs me out of everything I was logged into.

I just want to open Firefox and have it just... be at the home website and not remember my tabs from last session. And still be logged into the websites I frequent.

Version 33.0. Windows 8.1.

Chosen solution

I ended up figuring it out myself and I'm going to try my best to explain since neither of you answered my question.

I ended up using the setting "Use custom settings for history" and checking the delete browsing and download history and leaving everything else unchecked so I don't get logged out of everything.

Again, I figured it out so no need to try to answer anymore.

Never remember history should not log you out of anything. It only logs you out once you deactivate it.until next time you clean your history.It is maybe because do not track feature is turned on. turn it off first to see changes. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature follow this tutorial. Then select do not tell sites anyting about my tracking preferences.

thank you.

Just simple as 2+2=4, Go the Menu and select option on the general tab change When Firefox Starts to "Show my Homepage". and just set your homepage below in the box by giving its url. Then press OK.
