Firefox sometimes restoring previous session when I open it
In my settings, "Open previous windows and tabs" is not selected. And "Homepage and new windows" set to custom url.
However sometimes when I open Firefox, it's automatically restoring the previous session. I can't consistently reproduce the issue but it randomly happens after I just close the Firefox and then open it sometime later.

The last session will be restored if the browser crashes or is left open while shutting down Windows. You can disable this by changing browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash and toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart to false in about:config.

I know the crashing part but mine happening when there is no crash. I just close it from the X button, later on opening again and seeing every tab reopen.
Try changing the mentioned settings and see if it makes any difference.

Alrighty. I will try the "toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart". Don't wanna change the other one cuz I like it resumes the tabs when a crash occurs. It happens very very rarely but saves a lot when it reopens the previous tabs.
Try changing both settings, you can still manually restore the last session when a crash occurs.

So it was ok for a time and I thought it worked but it happened again just now :( I was first opened the private window while the firefox itself was closed. Then opened the normal firefox and it reopened the last session again.
