Session restore option now showing up after Mozilla Firefox 38.0 update (Mac OS X)

more options

Since I moved to Firefox 38.0, I don't see the option "restore previous session" on home page after I exit firefox. I also tried to hit "restore previous session" from the history but its disabled. Today, I saw there was a new version from Mozilla (firefox 39.0) so I downloaded and installed that but the issue is still there, why does such a simple thing is not fixed by Mozilla. Can someone help me with that.

OS - MAC OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) Mozilla Firefox - 39.0

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes".

  • do not clear the Browsing History
