OOps, never mind. I tried using about:blank for the home page but it didn't work so I opened up a blank tab and used the "use current page" to set the home page. It worked but it opened up 3 blank tabs. I can live with that.

It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''', *when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab *when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session" #Have you tried that? #If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox? '''Restore Previous Session'''<br /> Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session.

Thank you so much for your response, but setting the "use current page" for the home page while on a blank tab page worked well enough for my purposes.
