Never reopen firefox after unexpected close
Hi, I cannot really put a label on the issue, therefore I just decribe it.
When Firefox closes unexpectedly, like powering off my Computer and not closing Firefox, after reboot all my tabs are restored. I do not want this to happen. Is there an option to disable it ?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, just to be clear, my earlier reply assumes you do not want your previous session windows and tabs restored at all.
If the problem is that you only want the active tab in each window to load immediately and have the others remain pending, check this setting instead:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste demand and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand preference is bolded and has a value oif false, double-click it to restore the default value of true

Firefox starts up automatically with Linux, or in this situation, Firefox restores your session when you start Firefox?
There is a detection in Firefox for when Linux tells Firefox to shut down. Firefox sets a flag to restore your session at the next Firefox startup. A user who hated this feature posted a workaround, but I haven't tested it myself:

Thanks for the help.
Just to get it right. The values should be:
browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once => FALSE browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand => TRUE
I try it out later, but for now thanks for your help.
