In Tools -> Options -> General -> Startup, what is the selected option in the selectbox of "When Firefox starts" and what is the Home Page?

It says "show my windows and tabs from last time". I pretty much only used the home pages as a quick bookmark.   (Jimmyr.com | reddit.com | facebook.com)

I'm a little confused about what you're doing. It sounds like you're leaving a window open with just a blank tab, but that's not completely clear. And what is this 2nd experiment?

Yeah that's right.

The second time, when the first tab opens back up, i close it and shut down firefox. When i start it up again. I get the restore session screen, even though it was an empty firefox with no tabs running when i closed it.

Ok, So this is very similar to (dupe of?) bug 495123.

Getting the restore session screen would indicate Firefox is crashing or you're killing the process.
