History:Restore tab does not restore to the page listed

In Firefox 29, when trying to restore a tab that I just closed accidentally, History, Recently Closed Tabs, "the closed tab to be restored" takes me to my home page rather than the tab that I want to restore. How can I set Firefox 20 to restore the desired tab? The desired tab is listed but the link does not function properly.

Does this also happen if you use the Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut key?

Yes, CTRL-Shift-T brings up my home page. it works the same as going to History-Recently Closed Tabs- Select tab that was closed.
