Firefox Community Forum

Over the past few updates, I’ve noticed an issue with Firefox where it no longer restores my previous session when reopening the browser.

I normally keep four tabs pinned and about five additional tabs open for browsing and work. In the past, I could simply click the X to close Firefox, and when I reopened it, all my tabs that are pinned and unpinned would automatically come back. Recently, this stopped happening. Now, if I close Firefox, it opens with a fresh window instead of restoring my previous tabs.

I’ve already checked the setting under General/Startup, and Open previous windows and tabs is enabled. Because of this issue, I avoid closing Firefox entirely, since rebuilding all my tabs each time has become a hassle.

Is there a way to fix this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks :)

Just updated my Firefox. I had a huge tab group saved, and tons of bookmarks. I've been using firefox for months, I didn't have an account signed in on the browser though. I updated it and it had to restart, and everything was gone when it reopened. I even clicked that it should reopen tabs after restarting, but it just opened to tell me to make a profile. It told me that they just introduced profiles, and it put me on profile 1, which looked brand new. No browsing history whatsoever, no bookmarks, my background that I set is gone, and I cannot find anythign at all. I had over 50 bookmarks, inclyding very imprtant links for a final paper, and I'm genuinely so upset. Multiple of those bookmarks were things for me to go back to read/watch later and I will literally not be able to find them. If anyone has any tips at all, I'd love them. I am so seriously upset right now and I'm just hoping its possible for that to come back.

My browser stopped loading certain pages, like Instagram, Facebook, and Amazon. Caches are cleared, extensions are disabled, tried service mode. Other browsers seem to have no problem loading these sites. What can be the problem?

I only get that damn "JSON, Raw Headers, Data" screen when I try to go to gamestop's website. HOW do I fix this? This is only the latest in a long string of stuff your browser does badly, and if not for the fact you are the only browser Youtube cannot block ad blockers on, I would have tossed your browser a long time ago.

My computer, being 7 years old (and without the space to upgrade to WIN11), has always been a bit slow with low RAM and storage. The swap from Chrome to Firefox essentially gave it a second life, as Firefox didn't need a lot of space to run. Recently, though, it locks up with almost every search, refusing to let me x out a tab and try to save myself for 3 minutes or more, and the bluescreens have come back, too. If chrome hasn't also gotten worse, I'm considering switching back. Does anyone know what happened? I haven't installed anything new.

It's really frustrating and disappointing, because I thought I had a solution when I swapped to Firefox.

Lorsque je vais sur le site de la TV d'orange, je peux voir le programme du soir, le programme général et même l'émission du moment. Mais lorsque je veux regarder le direct j'obtiens un message d'erreur disant vidéo actuellement indisponible. Si je fais la même opération avec Chrome je peux vois la TV en direct Merci de votre aide

bold text I have been given a new firefox and this is so far out of what i need that i am about ready to call it quits -- where is my toolbar? All i have is some bookmark nonsense that has nothing to do with me or what i search for --

I'm running Windows 10 on my (oldish) laptop.

I have been running Firefox on this PC (and others) for over a decade.

I would like to install Firefox on my (Samsung) Android mobile phone.

Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome.

I WISH THAT FIREFOX WOULD CHANGE THE ADS THEY ALLOW. SHOWING PANTIES WITH OBSCENE STATEMENTS IS BORDERING ON PORNOGRAPHY! SPECIFICALLY WOMEN'S PANTIES WITH STATEMENTS OF CUM AND ONLY DAVID CAN ENTER HERE! CHILDREN GET INTO THESE! IF IT DOES NOT BEFORE THURSDAY I SHALL SPREAD THE WORD AND NO LONGER USE FIREFOX!

For MONTHS now I have been unable to log into my BANK & ONLY my BANK.

EVERY TIME I try to log in I keep getting booted to the DAM "secure sign up" page!

Each month I have to get ANOTHER "temporary" passwords so I can get to my account & the next month I CAN'T LOG IN AGAIN & AGAIN I have to go through the entire routine again, temporary password, make up another new password over & over again!!!!!!!!!! I am sick & very tired of this, I only have problems with my BANK log in, no other site, just MY BANK! I suspect the problem is with FIREFOX not the bank. I don't want to use "Edge" because it's CRAP!

I use Dropbox every day. I always access in the Firefox browser. As of yesterday, when I open Dropbox, it inidicates that it knows its me (I am logged in - upper right hand corner) but it will not connect. Did I accidently change a setting? Your help would be greatly appreciated. FYI. I can access like normal using Safari but I would prefer to keep using Firefox. Thanks. Dave
