I am using Firefox on Linux Ubuntu 26.04. I normally work with multiple tabs. Then I quit Firefox with all tabs open at the point of quitting. Some times on the rare occasion there can be a forced quit due to some issues. In my settings I have configured it not to open the previous tabs. In fact I want a blank page. But whenever I reopen Firefox, it opens those tabs and tries to reload which is annoying. Some of these pages take a long time to reload, and why would I want to look at tabs which I already have read. Or if it crashes due to some website on a tab why reopen something that crashed in the place ? Can you fix this. Thanks.

Hi Rabi. I will try my best to help you!

So because Mozilla Firefox has a built-in safety feature called "Crash Recovery", Firefox assumes you lost your work unexpectedly and forces the restoration of all tabs from your last active session.

Thankfully yiu can permanently disable this behavior using Firefox’s advanced configuration panel (about:config).

How to Turn Off Automatic Session Recovery After Crashes: - Open Firefox. Type about:config into the top address bar and press Enter. - Click the blue Accept the Risk and Continue button when the warning screen appears. - In the "Search preference name" box at the top, copy and paste this exact setting:textbrowser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash

- Look to the far right side of that preference row. Click the Toggle button (the icon with two arrows) or double-click the row to change its value from true to false.

Hi Mariam,

Thanks for your reply. I implemented what you said. It WORKS at least as far as normal shutdowns are concerned where I quit Firefox normally with multiple tabs open. But there has been no forced shutdown of Firefox due to some web page / java script malfunctioning where Firefox says with a popup : "Force Quit Or Wait" here in the Linux Ubuntu 26.04. I was waiting for that to happen so I can confirm your solution completely works on all cases . I have a feeling it will work then too. Otherwise Ill let you know. But so far so good. Thanks a Lot.

Rabi Kumar.
