User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 Build ID: 20140825202822 Steps to reproduce: Ever since I upgraded to version 32.0, the browser reloads all the tabs from the last time when it starts. I go to Tools, Options, General, and no matter what I select in the drop down window for "When Firefox starts", it doesn't seem to make any difference, it still reloads all the tabs from the prior session. Actual results: see above. Expected results: I want Firefox to start with my home page if that's what I selected.
Thanks for taking the time to report this! Does the problem still happen if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? (Safe Mode disables extensions and themes, hardware acceleration and some JavaScript stuff in order to exclude some possible reasons for problems. It does not disable plugins which are add-ons.) See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode And does this also happen with a new and empty profile?
