Clicking home icon re-opens lots of tabs from a previous session even though I closed with "Quit and Save" with only two tabs

For the comm.

I am a little frustrated. I once had a session with maybe 20 tabs open. I closed the browser selecting just "Quit". Every time a re-start, all those tabs open again. So - I delete them all, and leave say two tabs open. My home page, and my email page say. Then I quite and select "Quit and Save".

I start up again - and all is fine. Only the two tabs there. I press ^T to open another tab. Do some thing and get fed up so deicide to bring up my home page in this tab - so I click the Home icon below the top menu bar - and guess what - all those f**k*** 20 tabs re-appear reminding me about all those lousy websites I looked at weeks ago.

Can you please clean up this behaviour?

thanks

I don't see this in the post - so I'll add here:

Version 3.8.6 on Windoz 7.

How to set the home page

Under Tools -> Options I have set

when Firefox Starts "Show my Home Page"

And the home page is set to my email account log in page.

Thanks p

Hi There

Boy that's subtle.

Because of previous versions, including Netscape, I have typically set my home page by clicking the Use Current Page. I did not notice, that if more than one tab is open it is "Use Current Pages"

Now I understand.

Thanks for your help.
