FF Opens New Home Tab Every Time I App Switch Back to FF

I have several open tabs, but I'm using one. I move away from FF on the iPad (via the "App-Switcher" or Alt-tab) When I restore the iPad's focus to FF, it opens a new blank tab. If there's already a blank new tab it goes there (it only opens one "home tab" but keeps favoring it over other open tabs.) I want FF to switch back to the tab and location within that tab that last had focus in FF, in other words, what I was reading right before I switched.

I am not logged in to Firefox or any Mozilla account. (I only log in to accounts when it's absolutely necessary.)

I don't care about syncing or reopening tabs that I have closed. (Seems like new, added features overwrote more basic and simple usage, i.e. MY use case.) Every day I close all my tabs from the previous day and start over. Documentation just talks about complicated new features.
