What is the URL for the ORIGINAL Firefox Start Page?

I am looking for the original Firefox start page - the one that has an option on the screen to reload all tabs from the previous section.

That specific start page no longer exists. You can get the previously used about:home page with the search bar by disabling the new Activity Stream design, but this page lacks the launch bar with the reload button. You will have to go to the History menu to find this "Restore Previous Session" item.

You can look at the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream prefs on the about:config page. This pref sets the home page to the old or new design.

  • browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.aboutHome.enabled

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

It is not around/can not be found I have looked for others before.

Thank you. I HATE the new changes being made by Firefox! None of my favorite add-ons work - I might have to downgrade to version 52.
