My Firefox is set to start with my homepage but instead opens to last website visited. How can this be fixed?

Even though my options are set to show my homepage when Firefox starts, it is forced to show my windows and tabs from last time.

Many people seem to be experiencing this annoyance. Here's a similar complaint about what appears to be the same issue:

This is a deal-breaker for me if it is not fixed. SOON.

The last comment in thread from the above link is: "Here, use this Tab add-on; it's the only way to do it in Firefox 4." Unacceptable.

If a browser can't be set to reliably open to a user's choice of homepage, then it's a pretty cartoonish failure of a browser.
