When I start up, my browser reverts to the last tab rather than my home page. Why does it not start up with my custom homepage?

How are you closing Firefox when you shutdown the computer at the end on the day ?

If you let Windows close the browser then this can happen. Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar and make sure you give Firefox enough time to close properly, especially if you have multiple windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit

cor-el is right. And there is another possibility that you have enabled Open previous windows and tabs in the settings. Try to disable this option.
