When I open a New window the window doesn't open with a blank page, it opens with my start-up page!

When I open Firefox, it opens to pages I was on when I last closed it. After that, when I open a brand new window, and I don't use a link, it isn't a blank page but instead it shows the same pages as when I started up Firefox. I don't need two windows of the very same pages! I have to delete one of two of the duplicated pages and then my url into the bar to get to the page I want. I want to have a new window with a blank page

It is the default action in Firefox to open a new window with the home page(s).

A possibility to avoid that is a bookmarks (e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar) with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open a blank window or set the Home page to about:blank and use a bookmark to open the home page.

Who came up with this idea? Sheesh! The default action in Firefox is definitely NOT intuitive! One more thing about Windows that I don't like. <sigh!> (My main desktop computer is a Mac and Firefox works as it is supposed to do.)

I will try the options you suggest. Thank you for answering!
