When I open the Firefox browser, rather than opening my home page (like Internet Explorer does) it opens at the last page I visited. That's a real inconvenience.

In the Tools menu select Options to open the options dialog. Go to the General panel, and make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".

Thanks Tony, that did the trick. Just switched over to Firefox when I installed Windows 7 after years of using IE. Guess I need to do some homework.

Thanks again.
