I have the keep me signed in box checked but I have to sign in to get to my home page. It comes up with the set up your home page.

Chosen solution

The default Homepage in Firefox is about:home, which isn't a page on the internet, it is built into Firefox and doesn't have a login. It does look a lot like the Google / Firefox start page which was used previously, but it isn't the same.

Firefox doesn't use the Homepage setting in Internet Options.

As far as "remember me" for web site logins, that is usually done with a cookie, if you clear your cookies when Firefox closes, you won't be "remembered".
