I would like to set my browser to restore my previous session when I restart my computer, but in Options, the box next to "Restore Previous Session" is grayed out so I can't check it. Thoughts?

Hello BCB27,

Would you please make sure that you're not in permanent Private Browsing mode :

3-bar menu (or "Tools") => Options => Privacy & Security => under "History":

Firefox will : choose "Use custom settings for history"

Uncheck  : "Always use private browsing mode"

Can you check the box now ?
