Until yesterday, whenever I started Firefox it opened to the home page I selected. During the day yesterday, that changed: now when I open Firefox, it loads whatever was the last page it was on during the previous session. I've checked the settings and the correct address for my home page is still displayed there. How can I get it "reset" so that each time I open the application it loads the home page I selected? Thanks for your help...

Make sure that When Firefox starts: is set to Show my home page.

(Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings )

Good morning...thanks for the reply; that box is/was already set as you suggest, and the box just below it has the correct URL for my selected hoem page. Other thoughts?

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

The user.js file will only be present if you or other software has created this file and normally won't be present.

You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click). The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

Do not edit this line and change its value to false, but either remove this line or delete the file (recommended if you haven't created this file). The normal usage of this pref is to reload tabs when you have to restart Firefox (update or installing an extension).

That did it! (The hard part for me was finding the user.js file) The user.js file was created yesterday afternoon; I deleted it and closed Firefox, and when I reopened the application it went to my home page; same after a reboot. Out of curiosity, any thoughts about where it might have come from?

Thanks for your help...
