How do I absolutely prohibit reloading pages on restart
I can't find a setting that allows me to absolutely prevent reloading pages on restart. I don't care why I restarted or what I was doing, I want Firefox to start on a blank screen. No tiles of suggestions, no "whoops this is embarassing", no attempts to restore what I had open: just the nice, peaceful blank screen that I requested when I set it to "Show A Blank Page" when Nightly starts.

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.
Set browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 This will only have the about:sessionrestore page come up without loading the privious session.
Set browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to false This should do what you want.

Some of those are automatic responses for if Firefox crashes. Was there a crash or other problem?
Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want to be displayed?
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any webpage or about: page you want.
I'm aware that they are "automatic responses for if Firefox crashes". As I said, I don't care why I'm restarting, I do not want these automatic responses. I want a blank page.
