I would like Firefox to always restore my previous session. How do I make that happen? I was able to do it before. I had to change a value to a three but I can't find how to do that again.

Hi   !

I think this is what you are talking about :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : browser.startup.page and set it's value to 3

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.

  • When Firefox Starts

When the browser is started, what do you want to display? Many of us choose Show My Home Page.

Note that you set this via:

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Startup: "When Firefox starts":
    "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
