Ok so I open my Firefox browser but when it opens it does not go to the homepage. It goes to the last page I visited in my previous internet session. My homepage is www.imdb.com but lets says I go to www.facebook.com and then i close the window; if I reopen firefox it will go to the facebook page and not the homepage. This happens all the time and it even happens after I restart the computer. It always goes to the last page I visited. Like this page for example where I posted a question. Once i close firefox, and then open it again, it will come to this page and not the homepage. Is this supposed to happen? It started happened a few weeks back. I reinstalled it and it still happens. thanks.

Hi eaglerabbit,

This is a pretty easy fix. Just go to Tools > Options > General and change the preference for what Firefox should do on startup. You probably have it set to load tabs and pages from your previous session.

If that doesn't work, you should look at the Knowledge Base article How to fix preferences that won't save.

Hopefully this helps!
