Why do my past sessions restore at start-up when the setting is turned off - I want it disabled.
Every time I start Firefox it restores my previous sessions even though I do not have the restore past sessions box enabled. I also have my homepage and new windows set for a custom url - but it doesn't work. I've tried it with a blank page, and the other options - but all the sessions restore. When I close Firefox and restart it, it restores all of my previous sessions. I do not want this. I've done all of the suggestions from prior questions out here in the community and they do not work. I've moved all of the sessionstore files/folder out of the firefox folder (as suggested in a prior question) and all that did was mess up my customize option. It did at first open up to a blank page, but then I changed the setting to go to a custom url for the homepage and it started restoring prior sessions again. I'm about ready to delete Firefox all together and start using a new browser. :(

Don't delete the files if you need to rescue any data from
