Is there a setting for showing the last open tab on startup?

Firefox for Android used to have the built in feature where when starting up, it would show the last open tab, just like Chrome for Android. Currently, it seems to open a new tab and put you at the selection page.

I now routinely end up with many tabs since any searches are done automatically in a new tab, since reusing a previous tab now takes several taps. It's also frustrating if I accidentally close the app to have to navigate to the tabs and find it rather than just having it be there.

It would be nice to have a setting to just switch to the previously opened tab on startup. If there is a setting for it, sorry I missed it and please disregard everything.

Thanks!

For now it goes back to the last open tab only in the nightly version.

See issue #12062.
