Why is this so temperamental: when opening fresh Firefox, it opens with a different page EVERY TIME???
Sometimes it opens with my Homepage, which I have set up deliberately and purposefully to open with my Homepage, which is DuckDuckGo. That’s why I set it up: to open with it every time I open Firefox. To have this certainty. I want it to open with my home page EVERY TIME, not just randomly.
Sometimes it opens with my Homepage, most of the time it does not.
Sometimes it opens with this annoying message how it cannot open previous sessions – I never asked it to open previous sessions!
Sometimes it indeed opens with a page from my last session – I don’t want it to open my previous session!
Sometimes it opens with just a standard “new tab” page – I never told it that either.
What is the problem with opening the Homepage EVERY TIME I start Firefox?
Does Firefox have any concept of how extremely annoying this is?
From the attached photo, what exactly is required here, other than entering the page I want for the Homepage???

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Try this several times.

OK, I'll try this several times. Haven't yet, only once, and when I opened Firefox again after that, it opened on my Homepage, just how I wanted it. But then again, it does that: sometimes it opens with Homepage, most of the time it does not. And then, the next time I opened Firefox, not only did it try to restore previous sessions, it did it in two instances, or windows, both attempting to retrieve previous sessions!!! So I'll try the troubleshoot mode again a few more times and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestion.
NO! It does what it wants! Sometimes it opens with Homepage, the next time will open the previous session, which is extremely infuriating! It is RANDOM. Why would Firefox be so fickle?
I don't use a 'homepage' so I don't know whether what you have done is correct. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page
Perhaps you should unselect the first option in Settings. It is at the top of the General page; "Open previous windows and tabs".
