Regardless of whether I manually shut down my web pages, Firefox always seems to be trying to recover pages at start up. When I shut down I never want Firefox to recover previous web pages on start up. Just my home page.

hello, this should be addressed in a later version of firefox. as a workaround in the meanwhile you could try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. double-click it and change its value to false.

Change your Home page

A likely cause is that you are first closing all Firefox windows and then close the Firefox application.

Some have reported that closing Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is still open works for them.
