Upon launch, Safari 6 opens last pages visited, not home page

I have recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.7.5 and Safari 6.0.2. In Safari Preferences, I have set my home page, and I have set New windows open with Homepage and New tabs open with Homepage. Nevertheless, and in contrast to the behavior of Safari 5, when I launch Safari for the first time each morning, it opens with all the tabs that were open when I shut it down the previous night. Annoying! (Especially because I had to log in to some of those pages, and when Safari launches afresh the login is no longer valid, so I get an error message.) How do I get it to open a single tab with the homepage upon launch?

After I posted this question, Apple showed me similar posts, and I found the answer. System Preferences -> General, uncheck the box for Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps. This is a new feature of MacOS 10.7 of which I was unaware, and it applies to all programs, not just Safari. Apple, please note: "reopening" is not hyphenated. "Re" is a prefix, and, in English, pre-fixes remain un-hyphenated.

Sorry. Ignore this post.

Why is my browser opening the last page visited. How do I change it? I don't want it to do that

Every time I bring up my browser since I installed the newest version on Firefox it keeps re opening the last page or pages visited. How do I change the settings so this does not continue?

Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page"
If that setting is OK then make sure that Firefox closes properly.
See "Hang at exit":

When I open my shortcut for Mozilla Firefox, instead of my start page (Google) it opens the last page visited...kinda annoying, and I can't fix it in the OPTIONS section.. any help?

well, above says it all, I think...

Click on the Firefox button on top left of the Firefox main window, then click on the options, and you can change new session options from there. Firefox - Options - General - Startup

Firefox 4 doesn't open in a homepage, but rather opens the last page I visited, which I HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far the Firefox upgrades are nothing but trouble to me and my computer. Where is the homepage. Why when I open Firefox from the desktop shortcut do I not get a homepage, but rather the last page I visited. I was doing bills, and finished but couldn't find the log off button, so closed the page, and then closed firefox. When I re-opened, it opened right to the page where I was still signed into my account!!!!!!! A security failure if I ever saw one. There is not one thing I have found to be helpful since Firefox first updated me to 3.6.14, then quit responding completely! So I tried the 4 Beta, and it is so far a disaster.

If the Cookies window is open and no browser or other Firefox windows are open, opening a new browser window will now still open the last page visited instead of a blank page, even if "Show a blank page" is selected for "When Firefox starts:", and even if the last browser window opened was blank; I tested this by opening a webpage and then opening a blank browser window, closing the browser window with the webpage, then closing the blank browser window, then opening a new browser window while the Cookies window remained open. It is a time waster to have to continually close and reopen the Cookies window and a potential privacy disaster to have your website reopened after you closed your browser. Please, please, fix this.

Firefox insists on opening last page visited even though it's supposed to open on home page.

Bad job guys, this is dumb, I am disappointed.
I've followed instructions found in the following links with no luck:

I deleted sessionstore.js it worked once but the issue re-occured afterwards. I don't have the file user.js.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent Session Restore from reopening those tabs.
Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can leave the sessionstore.bak file with the time stamp appended that Firefox creates automatically in case of updating.
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

I just downloaded Lion. Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited. How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs

Using an old school PPC Mac, OSX 10.4.11. Reader 9.3.2 does not remember last page visited for scanned pdfs. It only remembers the last page visited for searchable pdfs, but not for scanned. I have the box checked in "Preferences: Restore last view settings..." I cannot upgrade Reader on this system, or my OS, so I'm stuck using what I have for now. I have to read huge documents for my work, that will include hand written notes in the margin and other marks on the page. The documents are hundreds of pages long, so it's a bit frustrating that it can't remember the page number for this type.
Are there any fixes for this? Something else I can try?

I tried to find the download for 9.5.5, but my OS is not in the list. I'm on a non-intel PPC mac. I tried finding that version on the web, but most of the links lead me back to Adobe, where it doesn't seem to want to be found. It obviously exists somewhere, but Adobe isn't making it easy to access!

Check Safari/Preferences/General/Safari opens with -try setting it to new window.

Opening Safari 5.1.5 it opens last page visited

When I open Safari 5.1.5 it opens the last page I was in previously, not my designated homepage, which I would prefer. I looked in Preferences to change it, but to no avail. Upgraded to Lion yesterday. Thanks - PH

Launch System Preferences and click on the “General” icon
At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck the checkbox next to “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”
This worked for me. For some reason it only seems to work (or annoy me) in Safari.

When launching firefox, it no longer goes to my homepage. It goes to the last page visited while on line! Help??

When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened. Is there a way to start on the homepage?

When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened. Is there a way to start on the homepage?

That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep. What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent. Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion. I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

This problem has been reported a few times. The solution is to install any new App say a free one. This seems to fix whatever has gone wrong.

How can I set up new sites to open in new pages and not over the top of the current open page?

how can I set up new sites to open in new pages and not over the top of the current open page?

Middle-click ''(press down mouse scroll wheel)'' 
or 
{Ctrl + Click} 
or 
Right-click and use '''''Open in a New Tab'''''

Insists on opening last page visited even tho it's supposed to open on home page.

This has been an ongoing, intermittent Firefox 4 problem w/two computers. I set homepage using general options tab but eventually something defaults to "open browser at last site visited," even tho command line stilll says "Show my home page." Between that problem and lost bookmarks, I'm ready to go back to 3.6 (again).

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
