When I close Firefox, and then open it again, the last page I had open remains open when my new page loads. Clearing my history and cookies doesn't help.

When I close Firefox, the windows that were open when I closed Firefox are still open when I click on a link to open a new window. I have cleared my history and cookies and even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but that has not worked. I have had this problem since upgrading to version 29. This is not the only problem I have had with version 29. Has anyone else had problems with version 29?

I ended up going into the clear history settings and setting it to clear history when Firefox closes and chosing it to clear history and cooking and browsing history when Firefox closes. Now the links work fine and the last page I was looking at before I closed Firefox is no longer there when it opens again. Problem solved!
