Great service this !

Type in "about:config" in your address bar. Search for "browser.startup.homepage". Does it also say Google?

What are you doing to shut down Firefox when you're done with it? For example:

• Call up the Android recent apps list and "swipe" Firefox off the list
• Use "Quit" on Firefox's menu (Quit appears if you set up Firefox to clear any kind of data at shutdown, or you can use an add-on)

If you are simply going to the home screen or another application without terminating the program, Firefox remains loaded until the Android memory manager determines that it needs to be shut down, which may take much longer than you imagine.

If your question is about another version of Firefox, what operating system are you running it on? A moderator can move your question from the Android forum to the Desktop forum where a lot more people will see it.

Using nexus7 and android 5.1.1 and Firefox 48.0 In about config only homepage line is browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone ( value 48.0) If I reset this it just returns Homepage is set to Google in settings I always minimise Firefox and close app to avoid having loads of windows running at once because Nexus is slow until I do regular housekeeping. Using the quit option doesn't help, still opens last viewed page. I am not using Firefox app any more unless this issue is resolved. The number of similar complaints shows there is a major issue.

Just found out accidentally that if I use the quit option that Firefox is still in the active apps list. If I then also exit the Firefox app then Firefox opens in my homepage ( but forgets all the passwords etc. ) I.e. using either option alone does not work but using both together does! This is however a lot of faffing about and I really need Firefox to remember passwords. Sounds like a bug to me.

Solved!!!!! Just change Settings.advanced.restore tabs To don't restore tabs and Job done!
