Home page won't load on start up it goes to the last page it was on before the shut down.
It started just recently where I exit FIrefox and then restart it either after the computer has rebooted or closed by accident, it always brings back the tabs and pages I was on at the time of shut down. I have looked on here and tried what others have been told and nothing worked. I would like to not have to uninstall firefox but I will if I have too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can check if you have an 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)
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
