firefox 44 doesn't open home page on start up
I updated to ver 44 recently and now firefox will not open home page on start up. I have outlook email set as home page, always have for many years. This problem only started in ver 44. I have seen other people are having the same problem and I've tried various suggestions but nothing works. When I click the home page icon it opens but never on startup no matter how I set the home page. I have used copy and paste and the selecting a bookmark methods but nothing works

What page opens instead of the home page?
You can check the startup setting.
- Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox starts":
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
"Show my home page"
"Show a blank page"
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 check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder that stores session data. When sessionstore.js is deleted you lose pinned tabs and Tab Groups and open tabs and you will have to recreate them, so if necessary make a note or bookmark them.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Are you getting a blank page instead of your home page? If you have Firefox set to clear history when it closes, the problem could be due to a bug in Firefox 44 which will be fixed in Firefox 45 (scheduled to be released next week).
You can try to minimize the frequency of the problem by allowing Firefox time to shut down normally by using Exit from the menu instead of using the red "X" button or having Windows shut down Firefox. Either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
- (menu bar) File > Exit
