Why are tabs no longer persistent?

more options

Since the update, tabs no longer persist between sessions. When I shut down Firefox, and then start it again, all my tabs are gone! Where can I tell Firefox to remember the tabs I had up last session?

Thanks!

If you go to the History menu, does Restore Previous Session work?

If so, your startup setting might have been changed. You can check that using the steps in this article:

Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings


If this changed, do you recall using the Refresh feature? This could occur if Firefox reports that it is running slowly and suggests a Refresh to improve performance. In that case, a new "Old Firefox Data" folder will appear on your desktop. Do you see anything like that?
