Hello -

Whenever I open Firefox, the app automatically opens a new tab. I noticed on a Windows 10 device, that a search automatically opens… annoying, but whatever. But on every iOS device I have (3), every time I open Firefox, it opens a new tab. Each device has specific tabs saved to open each time, with the Homepage being q of them. I don’t need a new homepage opened.

Am I missing a setting that prevents this from happening? Because I have looked at least 3 times.

Help, anyone??
