I tried looking for the answer but I keep finding questions about whether to open links in new tabs or new windows, and questions regarding whether to open a specific home page or blank page in a new window.

I would like Firefox not to open any window at all when I open it. I might go to Recent websites, or open my History to find a page I've visited last week. Of course if I press cmd-T or cmd-N, that's when I want a new window to open.

When I activate Firefox from another application and I have no windows open, I wouldn't like any new windows to open either.

Is this an option? I'm on Mac OS, Firefox 131.0.3.
