Firefox for Android updated and started doing a thing I dislike. Whenever I start the program I am presented with a category box and some frequently used sites. Like one would expect of a New Tab. However, it used to just open up to the previously opened tab. That is the behavior I want. I don't want extra steps added to get back to what I was doing before I had to close the browser. How do I change it back to how it was before the update? I am not seeing many settings either.

Hi

What you are seeing is the new home screen for Firefox for Android. It is currently not possible to remove it.

Is there a way to go straight to the webpage I was reading when I closed the browser, instead of this home screen? Some kind of launch command? I suppose that kind of thing doesn't exist on Android, only desktops.

I also noticed that Firefox doesn't seem to be caching the web page either.
