I can't seem to open Firefox 14 with the last tabs I had when I closed it.
The settings in the config file are correct (i.e., SaveOnClose is set to true), and the dropdown menu in my Options menu that says "When Firefox Starts" is set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", but when I reopen Firefox, it still shows this Firefox/Google search page. It also isn't saving my history, despite the option for it being selected to save my history.
It's nothing important, it's just really irritating. :/ Please help if you can!

Can you please go through the How do I restore my tabs from last time? article and see if it helps you? Thanks!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
- Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
- Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
Sorry guys, those don't seem to be helping. It looks like Firefox isn't even saving my changes when I click "OK". If I go back and check the settings, or open a new page, it's back to what the old settings were (in the case of Tools > Options > Privacy, it stays as "Firefox will: Remember History"). Any thoughts? :/

That is probably OK.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
Thanks, ideato! It was a corrupt prefs.js file. Thanks you also, cor-el, for the help! :)
You are welcome.
