hello, could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...
Make sure that you close Firefox with all windows still open and not have the menu bar visible with all windows closed.
Did you check for History > Recently Closed Tabs/Windows?
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Deselect: [ ] "Always use Private Browsing mode"
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes":
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
I still have this issue. what I've been doing is not closing out firefox. when my computer restarted, it would restart firefox because my settings were set to restart of unclosed programs etc. I recently closed firefox, restarted my computer and i've lost my previous opened tabs.
here is the text your requested:
Give Firefox a tune up
Try Safe Mode
