Fire fox is not responding to the home page options setup under tools. It always startsup on the last page viewed.
When Firefox starts up it always starts on the last page viewed. Also any tabs that were open at the time it shut down last are still active.
I did go into Tools, Options, General, and Start-up options and set it to start-up on my Home page. Firefox is ignoring this.
Why? how can i get it to start-up on my home page?

Hello,
Check to make sure that you do not have a user.js file. If you did not create it yourself, you can delete it by going to your profile folder:
- Help (or
> 
) > Troubleshooting Information
- Click the Show Folder Button
- See the article Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data for more information, such as locating your profile folder without using Firefox
If you did create it, make sure that there are no settings in there that set browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once to true as that will make Firefox load your previous session each time.
See:
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.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Windows hides some file extensions by default. Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension. You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
