I'm using Firefox 127.0.2 on Arch Linux. In settings under General>Startup>"Open previous windows and tabs" is not checked. Under about:config browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand is false, and browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash is false

How do I get Firefox to give me a clean slate after restarting my computer?

Make sure you close (Quit) Firefox before restarting the computer. Otherwise Firefox may set these prefs automatically to true if it detects that Firefox got restarted by the OS (restartedByOS).

  • browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
  • browser.sessionstore.resuming_after_os_restart
