Mozilla opens in a previous web page up to several days after crashing. Is this normal?

I have noticed that Firefox, when it crashes (?) will open up into a previous web page for several days after said crash. It does not open to the home page I usually use and is loaded into Firefox. How do I correct this?

You may have corrupt sessionstore file(s). Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
