Under Tools>Options>General I have the browser set when I open the browser to "open up a blank page" but it keeps opening up previous tabs from the day before. How can I stop this? I read the forum boards but either did not find it or overlooked the answer. I checked all my other settings and cannot find anything that would be causing this. Please advise?

OsmanAlper 3 months ago Maybe you have pinned them . Right click on one of them, and select "unpin tab" . Please tell me if the problem persists.
Best Regards, Osman A.

Sean2013 3 months ago Nope not pinned. I also checked to see if the Browser actually closed properly, and it appears to have. Nothing shows under the task manager.
I also tried clearing any cache files but no luck.

Tylerdowner 3 months ago The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems article.Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Sean2013 3 months ago I was hoping to avoid a full reset, but if anyone else has a suggestion, I'm open to it :-)

OsmanAlper 3 months ago Could you provide a screenshot with the tabs? Or at least the name of the websites,please?

Sean2013 3 months ago @Osman, They are all different depending on where i go for example, Ebay, news sites, weather sites, shopping sites, etc...I dont know if it would help to list them? If I open 3 or 4 links or even upto 10, and then exit the browser, those same tabs will open to whatever website I had. Somehow the browser is remembering the previous sessions even though I have it set up to open a "blank Page" in the options menu.

finitarry 3 months ago You could set your home page to about:blank. That will get you a blank page.

cor-el 3 months ago Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
See:
- "Hang at exit": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
- "Firefox hangs when you quit it": https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs

Sean2013 3 months ago Task Manager does not show any remaining plug-in containers. I usually quit by the File>Exit Or by the keyboard command.
-
cor-el 3 months ago 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.
-
Sean2013 3 months ago Is this set right?
It's from the about:config window.
browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once;false
