firefox crashes; I open firefox and it goes back to the pages that just crashed rather than my home page
Firefox crashes, or a page hangs up, so I close the browser (sometimes have to close it through task manager. When I try to re-open firefox, it takes me to the pages that just crashed rather than to my home page.

Yes, that is normal. You want to turn that off? There are a couple of settings related to resuming your previous session after a crash:
(A) Resume automatically, but if Firefox crashes twice in a row, show a list of windows and tabs and let me choose; (default)
(B) Don't resume automatically, always show a list of windows and tabs and let me choose; (I recommend this approach) or
(C) Never resume automatically, and don't show the list.
Switching to B or C requires a visit to Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste sess and pause while the list is filtered
For "B":
Double-click the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference and change from 1 to 0 (that's a zero).
For "C":
Double-click the browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash preference to switch its value from true to false.
