== Software crash ==
Due to unexpected issues such as problems with a website, software errors, or an accidental loss of power, Firefox may unexpectedly close. In these situations, Firefox can restore the pages that you were visiting when it is restarted. Firefox will automatically restore your previous session, the first time you launch it after a crash. <!-- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448976#c10 -->
If Firefox crashes a second time, the Restore Session (i.e. "''Well this is embarrassing''") page will appear when you next launch Firefox.

= Configuring session restore =
By default, when Firefox starts, a single window is opened, displaying your specified home page. If desired, you can configure Firefox to open all windows and tabs from your previous session:
{for win}[[Image:50d69608d844b9c206ea8615c091cae1-1258706212-695-2.png]]{/for}
# [[T:optionspreferences]]
# Select the {menu General} panel ({menu Main} panel in Firefox 3.5).
# From the When Firefox starts drop-down, select '''Show my windows and tabs from last time'''.
# [[T:closeOptionsPreferences]]
;:{note}'''Note''': When the Restore Session feature is enabled, you should close Firefox by opening the {for win,linux}File{/for}{for mac}Firefox{/for} menu and selecting {for win}'''Exit'''{/for}{for linux}'''Quit'''{/for}{for mac}'''Quit Firefox'''{/for}. If you close each window one at a time, only the tabs in the final window that you close are re-opened upon Firefox restart.{/note}
= Privacy issues =
Session Restore may keep you logged in to sites that you were logged into before you closed Firefox. If someone else used your computer after you, they could access your account on these sites. If this is a concern then you should not configure Firefox to open all windows and tabs from your previous session ("Show my windows and tabs from last time" option described above).
You may also wish to disable the Session Restore crash recovery feature which is enabled by default. This will prevent restoring a previous session when Firefox is opened after an unexpected close or software crash:
# [[T:aboutconfig]]
# Find {pref browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash} in the list
# Double-click on {pref browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash} to set it to {pref false}.
