How to prevent firefox from restoring session after reboot (Fedora KDE Linux)

kyle60

Every time I boot up my computer firefox spams all of my previously opened tabs on my main screen. Due to the nature of my work, many of these windows are irrelevant to my work the following day. The only setting I can find to disable this behavior is already toggled off. Is this a bug? It's becoming really frustrating to close a billion windows every day when I come in to work.

I'm using the firefox instance packed in with Fedora, I believe it's a system package, not a flatpak.

Fedora is looking into mysteriously resetting some preferences, could be related: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1sbybxw/if_your_firefox_settings_are_being_reset_please/

Other than that — could you please try to check the setting back, restart with some tabs still left, uncheck, and try if it makes any difference?

Unfortunately this does not solve my issue, I will have to take a look at that reddit thread, I suppose.

Would you be willing to create a new temporary profile and try that one out of curiosity to see if the pref sticks between restarts?

(Or if you're not willing to bother with profiles, you can also install e.g. a Firefox Nightly that keeps its own profiles separate, so it's a good test to see how that behaves in an isolated setup.)
