Whenever I jump back to Firefox Mobile on Android 2.3.4, it reopens and launches a new window. How can I prevent this?

Steps to reproduce on my device: In Firefox, viewing a web page. Jump to any other app (or main screen) for any reason (e.g., Notification, or select Home screen, or hold down Home key and select another app) Jump back to Firefox (e.g., hold down Home key and select Firefox). Firefox shows its logo, takes several seconds, and opens a new tab.

What steps/setting will stop this?

What do you mean by a new tab? If Firefox is killed in the background by Android Firefox should restore the tabs you were currently using if it was recent. If it had been some time (1hr+) Firefox will show the home tab with the list of your tabs from the last session.

It's not being killed.

I'm talking many seconds, not many minutes.

Clarifying my steps to reproduce on my device:

In Firefox, view a web page.

Wait five to fifteen seconds.

Jump to any other app (or main screen) for any reason (e.g., Notification, or select Home screen, or hold down Home key and select another app).

Wait five to fifteen seconds.

Jump back to Firefox (e.g., hold down Home key and select Firefox).

Firefox shows its logo, takes several seconds, and opens a new tab, with the same page reloaded. Now I have two pages of the same content.
