A new window should open with the home page(s). If that isn't the case then check the extensions.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In case anyone is following this thread, I've determined that in my case, the problem is definitely caused by an extension (Roboform).
Here is a reproduction scenario:
1. Search for sessionstore.js somewhere in your Windows Profile, and delete it.
2. Start FF.
3. Middle-click your Home button twice, creating three tabs with your home page in them (in my case, Google)
4. Close and re-open FF. It opens correctly, restoring the three tabs. 5. Left-drag one of the tabs off the tab header, which should open the tab in a new window. A new window opens, but it is blank.
6. Close the new window, then close the existing window. By closing the new (blank) window first, it should cause it to not be saved in the session.
7. Open FF again. Two windows are created: one with two tabs, each with your home page, and one with a single tab with nothing in it.
If you repeat step 5, even if you close the new window each time, an additional window is created each time you start FF. This also applies to creating new windows via Ctrl-N, or by right-clicking a link and clicking "Open in New Window".
By disabling Roboform browser integration, the problem goes away. I'm about to email the Roboform people now...
