Why does Mozilla Firefox open to a previous session?

Whenever I launch Mozilla Firefox, a session from a little more than a week ago opens up. Usually it opens up to my homepage. Now, it opens up with 8 tabs. They are: my Yahoo mail, my Gmail, 4 other Google sites, and an Amazon site. How can I put a stop to this? Thank you to any and everyone with a suggestion.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Thank you so much. Although I didn't exactly understand what you were telling me to do (my fault; not yours), the words I did recognize led me to were I needed to go to fix my problem. Somehow I'd set that whole session as my homepage. I went to Tools/Options/General and reset my homepage to 'Default', and now all is right. Thanks again, SINCERELY!
