My settings are set to show my home page when opening up Firefox. However, recently it automatically restores the tabs from the previous session that were open when I quit firefox.

I have tried resetting my settings, clearing the cache and cookies and nothing has worked.

How to I get firefox to show my home page on startup? (I am running Firefox 22, but had the same problem on Firefox 21)

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

This setting is already set to false.

Any other suggestions?
