Since upgrading to 3.6.13 on my Macs, Firefox doesn't restart tabs. I have replaced th e "|" with "%7C" as suggested in Support article, but it continues to happen. Is this the same fix for Mac or is there a different fix?

I have the preferences set to "Show my windows and tabs from the last time". I used "Use Current Pages" button. I have changed the used the "|" and I have changed the "|" to %7C that I read in one of the support articles. If Firefox is shutdown and restarted, either while the Mac is still up or after I shut down the Mac and then restart it, the problem continues. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5 on both Macs.

Chosen solution

If you use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

In the How to set the home page article, you are explained how to set multiple home pages and how to show windows and tabs from the last time. Is your issue about home pages or about windows and tabs from the last time?

It is about tabs not starting again from the last time.
