How do I turn off the shortcut windows on the front page of Firefox?

more options

The desktop version of Firefox has a button to turn off the 'history/shortcut'(?) windows on the opening/main page. How can I turn those off in mobile Firefox?? I seriously do not want, nor need them. For Example: Lets say one of my last visits browsing was an exotic web site. The next time I open Firefox, I am presented with an image of where I had been, regardless of who might be looking over my shoulder, perhaps a sensitive member of my family. I REALLY wish to have a blank opening page when I start up Firefox... with only a URL entry bar. Then and only then, I can choose to open a history listing or Bookmark page. This is of primary importance to me.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, anyone can offer! Rick

It seems like this feature is removed from Firefox for Mobile, sorry. ;(
