I have firefox set up to open to several home page tabs. it opens to the last pages visited, regardless of how it's set on the options window, or some obscure setting buried in the bowels of the c drive somewhere. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. i have tried using a blank page. i have even tried to install a previous version. and, yes i have tried starting in safe mode. but nothing changes (even when i set it to blank page). now what?

OK... I got it. I accessed the "browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once" by way of about:config. Got it straightened out from there. Thanks for the thought!

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

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.

You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
