Hi, When i start Firefox, it opens up all my tabs that i had open before i closed my last session. I've gone through one of the help pages already telling me to go to options-General tab-"when Firefox starts" and changed it to "home page" but i still have the same problem.

Thanks!

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 currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
