Firefox 33.1.1 opens to last tab or tabs viewed, not to homepage selected in options.
I have reset the homepage in options over and over, and the setting shows as "open to homepage" and shows the correct homepage. However when I close and reopen firefox, it flashes the homepage then opens the last tab or tabs viewed.

thanks, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button ≡ and then click help ? > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named user.js (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

hello, could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...
Info requested is below. I removed all lines regarding printer as the reply was too large for your form.
