After I updated my firefox into 33.0, the previous page is not loaded proplrly. As an example of this is when I close my session in page 50 of a website, restoring it's session will open page 8 of that websites along with the history of the tab at the moment is was page 8 (if I click "go back", it will go to page 7, not page 49 as it should be.). This problem was not exist previously (note that before this update, my firefox was the 15.0 version).

Current Firefox versions only save a limited number of back history that is controlled via a pref on the about:config page.

  • browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_back = 10

I don't mind If the page is truncated to the 10 most recent page. The problem is the page loaded by restore session was older than the most recent page with the tab's back history at the moment the tab loaded the page (The previous version doesn't have this problem).

Note that the problem itself happened mostly after turning on my computer or restarting firefox (due to plug-ins etc.)

edit: After looking at about:config, I found browser.sessionstore.interval = 15000 Does that mean the session is stored after 15 sec the tab is opened/changed, or does it mean the session of active tabs is stored once every 15 sec?
