I set Firefox to restore prior session on opening, and it was working. Something happened, and I can't get it to do this properly any more. For example, at

    http://www.iws.org/interactive_nestchat_allUstream.html

it opens to that page, which has controls to adjust vertical and horizontal position, but it no longer restores the results of using these controls on the page from the last session, and I have to go through this process every time I open Firefox. In the Options menu/General, I have it set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", but it always goes to the Home Page setting, no matter what I put in there. How do you get Firefox to set to "no home page", or its equivalent? If you leave the space blank, it goes to the Firefox page. Is this one of those things you have to set in a .ini file somewhere?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
