When i close my "main" Firefox window and after that the opened popups, this breaks my "restore previous session" setting.

this is not the first time because sometime i forget to close the popups first...

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar to avoid losing important windows because only the last closed window is restored.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit

Firefox can restore by default three closed windows, so you can check "History -> Recently Closed Tabs/Windows".

  • about:config => browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo
