Usually I don't properly close my applications before rebooting or shutting down my machine. Firefox then restores my previous session, which I don't want.

I've tried the following but this didn't work:

  • Verify "Open previous windows and tabs" isn't checked
  • set `browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes` to 0
  • set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` to false

Do you have any idea, why this doesn't work? or any other ideas how I could disable this?

Add the following line to user.js in your profile folder (changing it in about:config won't stick): 

user_pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once", false);
