...recurrent 'open new...' problem but having hit that a few times, I created a shortcut on my desktop (Win7pro):
"C:_Program Files (x86)_Mozilla Firefox_firefox.exe" www.google.com (replace the underscores with backslashes)

This opens a single window (not the last session) pointed to google. (You can change the web address to anything.)
This works even if the option to open the last session is enabled.

I'm not sure how to do this for an apple OS.
