My tabs are disappearing

more options

All of a sudden starting today when I hide firefox so I can work on documents the tabs I had open are all gone when I bring up the browser back up, I have gone to setting and history and there is no restore previous tabs button as all the fixes suggest,

How do I get this to stop, i have important sites open so I can go back to them and it sucks to keep having to restart and find data again.

If you're in full screen mode, your toolbar will be hidden by default. This is the most common reason for it to disappear. To leave full screen mode: On a PC, press F11 on your keyboard

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes".

  • do not clear the "Browsing history"
  • using "Clear history when Firefox closes" in Firefox 102+ honors exceptions and keeps cookies with an allow exception, previous versions removed all cookies
  • clearing "Site settings" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
