Hi. In settings, the box "Open previous windows and tabs" is grayed out. How do I turn on that option?

Thanks, Kate

Are you able to restore your previous session manually using the menu? Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Restore Previous Session
  • (menu bar) History > Restore Previous Session

If they are missing or grayed, check either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • (menu bar) History > Recently Closed Windows

Anything there?


One possible reason for not being able to restore a previous session is if Firefox is set to not record browsing history. If you switch over to:

Settings/Preferences page > Privacy & Security panel

and scroll down to the History section, the following will cause problems with restoring your previous session -- these are not compatible with session restore:

  • Firefox will: Never remember history
  • Firefox will: Use custom settings for history AND the box for "Always use private browsing mode" is checked
  • Box for "Remember browsing and download history" is not checked
  • Box for "Clear history when Firefox closes" is checked AND when you click Settings, "Browsing & download history" is checked
