Recently when i open my firefox browser each time it doesn't open to the home page. Instead it opens to the last page I was on before i closed out of the browser. I've tried reinstalling firefox and that didn't change anything. I'm using windows 7.

Chosen solution

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
