I get similar results. When I'm done looking at something, I try to open about:home before closing so that Firefox does not reopen what I'm done looking at. However, Firefox ignores about:home and opens my last tab prior to opening about:home.

It would be preferable if Firefox would not remember my last tab when I close my last tab. If I close Firefox by closing the window, that would be the desired action. But, when Firefox closes because I've just closed my last tab, it should not remember that tab.
