FF (latest ver) keeps opening previous session but I have it set for bing.com...
This is really frustrating and just started today. Didn't update or do anything.
I was having issues with my WLAN adapter but no direct FF issues.
I don't want to reset FF please but am open to try anything. And I've also made sure there's no "firefox" on my tasks, and I've restarted etc
Thanks!

Hello,
In Firefox, go to Tools >> Options. In the "General" tab, under "Startup", you have "When Firefox starts:". Make sure you select "Show my home page" from the drop-down list.
Let us know.
Kind regards,
Yes, I have that selected and it still doesn't work. Thanks.
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Thanks for that - I did find the "user" JScript Script File but it won't open up... (Red X, Windows Script Host, etc)
Let me know, thank you!
You shouldn't double-click the file, but use "Open with" to open the file in an editor (Notepad) if you want to inspect the file.
I could only find this when I opened up the NotePad. Thanks.

It is the last line that matters in this case:
- user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once", true);
You can delete this user.js file as it shouldn't be there. There are also entries in it that point to Babylon software.
You can cleanup the prefs to have a fresh start and delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
