i have gone to tools, options, then under the general tab i set firefox to start up : I set show my windows and tabs from last time.

When i closed firefox and then started it again it didn't work.

What can be done to resolve this issue please?

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.


If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.
