I have option "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected in Firefox and it is working fine. But how can I force Firefox not to open all my saved tabs on start only ones without changing Startup options?

You want Firefox to only load the current tab, and keep the tabs in the background unloaded? That's an option in the preferences window of Firefox. See here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Session-Restore?s=tabs&r=0&e=es&as=s#w_configuring-session-restore

What I'd like to be able to do is: Use "Show my windows and tabs from last time" ("Don't load tabs until selected" checked). If I close and open Firefox all my tabs are there. Once in a wile I know that I had, lets say, 20 tabs open when Firefox was closed BUT I want to open it without all those tabs... just home page or blank page. I was wandering if there a key I could press during start up to prevent Firefox from opening all saved tabs (like "shift" for Safe mode).
What you can do: Don't let it restore your tabs automatically, but choose to restore your session on the default start page whenever you feel like it.
