At startup, Firefox does not open my home page, even though that is my setting.
Instead, it opens up the last page(s) that were open when I last closed Firefox. Despite my attempts to set this over and over, Firefox does not start up on my home page.

Do you have Firefox 40.0.3 installed? You can check Help > About Firefox to verify that.
I take it that you don't get a Crash message appearing shortly after closing Firefox. When Firefox thinks the last session crashed, it defaults to opening the last session - once.
Can you verify that when you close Firefox it actually closes completely and the firefox.exe process doesn't get 'hung' in the Windows Task Manager?
Yes, 40.0.3 No crash message I don't see firefox in the processes on Task manager after I close it.
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The user.js file will only be present if you or other software has created this file and normally won't be present. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click). The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
I scrolled far down on the Firefox profile page and there was a statement that said that I had a file called user.js which was not created by Firefox, but I could not find a way to delete it. I could only open it where this was noted. It did not appear in the list of files. I finally refreshed Firefox (reset to defaults) and it seems that has taken care of it. Of course, I have had to restore some preferences.
Yes, there was an entry as you mentioned, with the "true " statement. Also, there were a lot of lines with references to Vosteran, which was not in my list of programs to uninstall.
