Firefox opens New Tab Every Time I Switch to a Different App and Then Back Again.

On my iPad I switch back and forth between Firefox and other apps quite often (using the "App Switcher" or some older method.) But every time I return to Firefox it opens a new tab. I want it to return to the tab I last had focus on, i.e. the tab that I was last looking at and interacting with. This is new behavior over the last few months. Is there a setting that can disable this "feature"?

Finally after many searches with different words, found this answer, which works.

"You can open Firefox's settings page by tapping the 3-line (3-dot if you are on Android) menu button, then tapping "Settings".

In the "Settings" page, tap "Homepage", and at the "Opening screen" section, select "Last tab". Firefox should now just stay on the previously opened tab when you switch to a different app and then return. I have personally tested this and it works as intended."

Note on language: "Opening Screen" would be the screen when you first launch FF, right? Not the screen you switch back to. "Last tab" - I assumed that meant it would return to the Last Tab I was on when I closed FF and then opened it the next day. Switching to and from vs Opening and Closing.
