On my iPad I switch back and forth between Firefox and other apps quite often (using the "App Switcher" or some older method.) But every time I return to Firefox it opens a new tab. I want it to return to the tab I last had focus on, i.e. the tab that I was last looking at and interacting with. This is new behavior over the last few months. Is there a setting that can disable this "feature"?

If I bring up Firefox on iOS it creates a second tab with my Home page in it. Why does it do that? When I have a single tab and I navigate to some arbitrary site and then temporarily switch applications I don't expect, when I return to Firefox, that - pop! - here's another tab with you Home page on it! This should not happen. I am getting really tired of deleting second tabs. Please fix.

When I minimize Firefox and then maximize it launches another window. Why does it add a new tab? I want it to stay on the last tab I was at, but instead I need to go back to the all tabs view and close out the new unwanted window.

FF Opens New Home Tab Every Time I App Switch Back to FF

I have several open tabs, but I'm using one. I move away from FF on the iPad (via the "App-Switcher" or Alt-tab) When I restore the iPad's focus to FF, it opens a new blank tab. If there's already a blank new tab it goes there (it only opens one "home tab" but keeps favoring it over other open tabs.) I want FF to switch back to the tab and location within that tab that last had focus in FF, in other words, what I was reading right before I switched.

I am not logged in to Firefox or any Mozilla account. (I only log in to accounts when it's absolutely necessary.)

I don't care about syncing or reopening tabs that I have closed. (Seems like new, added features overwrote more basic and simple usage, i.e. MY use case.) Every day I close all my tabs from the previous day and start over. Documentation just talks about complicated new features.
