Restore Previous Session

more options

Recently, Restore Previous Session is not working like it did before V.89 (and the removal of Tools > Options).

Here are my settings. When I close and reopen Firefox my open tabs do not reopen like they used to.

Is this a known bug or something I'm doing wrong?

Hi, this still works on mine, but maybe a setting is different on your Firefox.

Do you use any settings to clear history? On the Settings page (formerly called the Options page), Privacy & Security panel, History section:

The main selector here has three options:

  • Firefox will: Remember history => browsing and session history should not get cleared automatically
  • Firefox will: Never remember history => forces automatic private browsing, so browsing and session history are not retained between sessions
  • Firefox will: Use custom settings for history => it depends...

If you use custom settings:

  • "Always use private browsing mode" => if checked, browsing and session history are not retained between sessions
  • "Clear history when Firefox closes" => if checked, browsing (and session) history may be removed depending on what is selected in the "Settings" dialog to the right of this option

Was that all okay?
