I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox night before last. Ever since then, Firefox will open, but cannot display my homepage. It says that I left tabs opened when I was last in Firefox. Which is not the case. So I have to click on a RESTORE tab & I get the page I was last in when I was in Firefox in a previous session. It also cannot seem to display my homepage & I have to click on the homepage icon to get my home page. I know that I am properly closing out tabs before I close Firefox. It is an annoying additional step or steps & I cannot figure out how to fix it.

hello Ra1nb0w, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.

as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. double-click it and change its value to false.

Thanks. I am relieved to hear this-well, sort of. ;-) I will do the workaround for a bit & if it is still driving me nuts, I will try the 2nd solution. I assume Firefox 20.1 will be coming out soon enough & this will be fixed?
