How do I restore previous tabs while keeping a blank homepage?

Locking duplicate thread.
Please continue here: [/questions/928918]

Firefox randomly updated itself today and some settings changed. I always restore the tabs I previously used, and whenever I open a new tab it would show a blank page. I don't know how I did that, but now I only ever get the options to "show my windows and tabs from last time" or "show a blank page." So now when I open a new tab, it shows me small images of websites I frequently visit, but I don't want that.

So, how can I both open my previous saved tabs all the time while having a blank page when I open a new tab?

Hello,

I don't think it is possible to open a blank page when restoring your session. You can always open a new tab and then restore your previous session using the "Restore Previous Session" on the page "about:home" which you can set as your home page. However, you mentioned you do not want the most visited sites to be shown on the new tab page, so to solve that you need to click the 9-panel box button in the top right-hand corner of your screen after opening a new tab, once you click that you will never see the most visited sites unless you press that button again.

Hope this helps.
