How do I prevent old tabs from restoring when firefox is closed during a private browsing session

OK, if I'm in a private browsing session and completely close FF (without first ending private browsing), the next time that I start it, the tabs that were open prior to starting private browsing are restored. I have it set to open my home page (yahoo) when starting Firefox.

How do I change this?

It sounds as though Firefox is treating it as a "crash" when you don't return to non-private browsing before shutting down. I don't know whether there is a way to change that: nothing in the browser.sessionstore.* preferences jumps out at me as controlling that behavior.
