I have half-speed dial-up. When I restart Firefox it attempts to connect to each web page from my previous session to refresh the pages. This chokes my connection. How can I stop this auto refresh action? Thanks.

I want my new session to reload my web pages from the previous session FROM CACHE, and not try reload each page from the internet. I can start Firefox with the modem disconnected to prevent this, but it can take 3 to 5 minutes for Firefox to open this way. (I see the modem blink as Firefox tries to connect during this time.) If my 56.6 modem is connected, it would take >60 minutes. (28.8 is the highest speed available in rural areas.)
