Even though I selected the option to have the previous tabs/websites saved, whenever I close and re-open Firefox, only one tab with the home page opens - why doesn't it remember the tabs/websites previously open??

Firefox now automatically saves open tabs when closing. When you re-start Firefox, do one of these:

  1. Restore from History:
    • click Firefox button> History > Restore Previous Session
    • click History > Restore Previous Session, if using the Menu Bar
  2. Restore from the about:home page:
  3. Change your home page setting:

IMPORTANT:

  • You must close Firefox using Firefox button > Exit/Close (or File > Exit/Close if using the Menu Bar) for this to work properly DO NOT use the Close ("X") button in the upper right corner of the window.
  • You must have "Remember my browsing history" selected; click Firrefox button > Options > Privacy (or Tools > Options > Privacy, if using the Menu Bar)
  • You must not clear "Browsing History" when closing Firefox; click Firefox button > Options > Privacy > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Exceptions > [  ] Browsing History (un-checked) (or click Tools > Options > Privacy > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Exceptions > [  ] Browsing History (un-checked), if using the Menu Bar)
  • You must not be using Private Browsing or start Firefox in permanent Private Browsing

On the Firefox start page, there's usually a big button that says "Restore Previous Session". Click that and your tabs and windows will be restored.
