Firefox Keeps Restoring Tabs/Session Despite Settings

I have Firefox set to open up a home page and to delete history, cookies, sessions, etc on close, along with add-ons that are supposed to get rid of these things as well (CookieCuller and BetterPrivacy to be specific). I also have it set to never accept third party cookies with a small list of exceptions.

Yet, every time I open Firefox, it restores my previous session - it restores all my tabs, and if I was for example in an email inbox or other online account, at times it restores that as well; I am still logged in.

I am getting extremely frustrated because I have never had this problem up until I had to reinstall Firefox from scratch this month and I am at a loss for what to do. Firefox has been completely weird ever since this install, including my add ons being unable to locate its folder/flash folder, constantly changing my default search engine to the point I just removed all other options to make it stop, pop-ups NOT being set to be blocked and similar security gaps as "default" when installed, etc. I don't know what I did wrong but obviously something isn't right?

You may have corrupt sessionstore file(s). Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
