After automatically updating to v18.0.1 a new session of FF now opens with all of the tabs that were open when I closed the previous session. How can I get it back to where a new session opens only with my home page?

Ah Hah! That worked, so it appears that it's an Tab Mix Plus issue.

Thanks

That's how I've always had FF set. Here's the settings for FF and Tab Mix Plus. This issue just started with the update to v18.

The TabMix Plus setting pictured above shows you have selected "Startup Session: Last Session". Change that option. You will need to adjust the settings on the "Session" tabs in TMP; I do not use the TMP Session manager (I use the Session Manager extension instead), you can not use both SM and TMP Seesions, so I can not advise you of the settings. Following is the TMP Manual (there are 3 sections for the Session tab.

You can also register and inquire at the TMP forum - http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/index.php

OldFox - I've installed the Session Manager and set it to open with my home page. Works so far, so hopefully all is solved.

Thanks to both of you.
