I want to remove or set my home screen to something else other than the Firefox default.

I've managed to remove everything from the default home screen, which is a start. But I don't want a home screen at all.

Ideally, Firefox would just resume as it was the previous time it opened. That's how it worked until a recent update.

That's the plan to bring it back. This behaviour is already in Nightly.

Launch back to browser if we previoulsy had tabs

Okay, no problem.

I've just updated to Firefox 83.1.0 and I don't see an option to resume from the previous tab on startup, and it still takes me to a blank "home screen", or whatever it's called. The commit referenced above was included in tag v83.0.0-beta.1, so I expected to see it.

I'm not sure, how the release process goes in detail, but there's usually ~2 months since the feature is accepted to the Nightly. That's why it's better to use the Nightly version.

OK, thanks. I installed Nightly afterall and yes, it works well. It's a shame it takes so long to make it through to release, but I guess they're trying their best to keep it stable.
