Prior to v34, when I opened Firefox, I would only see my home page and my pinned tabs. Now, it is remembering all the tabs I had open. How can I stop this behavior? I already have when Firefox starts to display my home page.

hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button ≡ and then click help ? > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
