how can I get my desktop page to open when I close the browser and then re open it?
when I click the red x to close the browser, when I come back to open the browser later, the last page I was viewing. last session opens, even all other tabs behind it, instead of my google page (my home page)? can this be fixed) I know I can just click the google word in the search bar, but should not have to do this!

hello,
Please check if your Firefox settings are set to open your Firefox from the last windows and tabs.
Click on the Menu Button (3 horizontal tiles like icon ) Click on Preferences click on General Change the option in "When Firefox Starts:"
