Unsure if it really matter, for now, but my firefox account, when I go to edit bits and pieces, it gets my Firefox version correct, but gets my MacOs version wrong. I'm on 12.76 (Monterey), but Firefox is showing me as 10. Is this normal or anything that might matter?

And a screenshot below just for those, like me who, prefer a book for it's pictures

I use McAfee as my security system. They recommend going to Firefox settings and disallowing random site connections. How do I get my system running again.

Disabling Tab Restore on OS Restart

I'm trying to stop Firefox from restoring tabs after I restart my OS. So far, I've done the following:

  • Disabled `Startup > Open Previous Windows and Tabs`
  • Disabled all extensions
  • Confirmed I do not have a `user.js` file
  • Set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` to `false`
  • Set `browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand` to `false`
  • Set `browser.sessionstore.resuming_after_os_restart` to `false` (It was already set this way.)
  • Set `browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes` to `0`
  • Set `privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows` to `true`
  • Set `browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo` to `0`
  • Set `browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo` to `0`

(I've since reverted the last two and the extension changes after they didn't work.)

So far, Firefox will not restore tabs on application restart (manually closing and relaunching) or on crashing (after sending SIGTERM/SIGKILL), but it still restores tabs after restarting the OS (if I allow the OS to kill it during shutdown). I've seen a couple suggestions to disable history completely, but I do occasionally refer to my browsing history, so I'd prefer a less-drastic approach. Ideally, I just want Firefox to treat the first launch after a shutdown as a normal launch and not apply any special behavior. Any help would be much appreciated!

System: Fedora 42 (Workstation Edition) Running Firefox 144.0.2 on Gnome 48.6-1.fc42
