Hi Mike, by default, Firefox displays your home page in a new window (which is what opens when Firefox starts up). The home page field moved to the Home panel of the Options page:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences
  • Any system: type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it

In the left column, click Home to access that field.

Success?

Or did you mean that you wanted to restore the windows/tabs you had open during your previous session, rather than 4 specific pages? The checkbox for restoring your session is on the General panel of the Options page.
