Closed taps reopening on android

The browser for android is excellent in a lot of ways, but I find it really irritating when I open the app and see tabs I already closed in my previous sessions open in the new session. You end up having to close the same tab multiple times because each time you leave the app and return, the tabs are automatically reopened. Sometimes as many as 2 or 3 previously closed tabs are reopened automatically whenever the app is opened next. I just find this quirk highly annoying and I wonder if there's a fix for this

Hi

Are you syncing tabs to another copy of Firefox using Firefox Sync?

Yes I am. However, this happens on the mobile version even when I don't use the pc version in-between mobile sessions
