I’m dying to find a way to stop Firefox on android from creating new tabs every time I use it. Why does it create a new tab when I open the app? Why won’t the tabs ever go away even though I set it to delete them every day? Why is ‘every day’ the lowest setting to remove them automatically and not when I close the app?
I’m not seeing anything in the settings. I hate having extra tabs open. They’re completely useless to me. Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks.

Settings -> Homepage -> Opening screen
I think you may need to change this to last tab or homepage after 4 hours of inactivity.

I’m less helpful here :(, I manually close them and like to leave tabs open for ages sometimes.
Cool, trying the last tab setting now. Thanks.
Sucks though I did like the home page.I think opening a new tab should default to the home page, but that might be another setting.

Instead you can use the “Delete browsing data on quit” feature but only enable “Open tabs”, tho this feature by design only works if you close the browser by pressing “Quit” from the 3 dots button on the toolbar
