• After the last update of Firefox, browser will not restore previous session after accident/quit. It restores the old pages, not newer. And no ' oops! embarrassing page.

It's embarrassing"page after a crash or a restart, and when I click on 'restore previous session', Firefox opens again the old pages, which some I no longer need and do not open most of my recent pages. I think I clicked on all the right settings, including "remember my story." Someone knows what to do? Thank you!

• Start stuck in restore previous session, changing the options, restart without help.

  I can change options such as load blank page. Restart the system, load firefox and get the previous sessions. I look at the options and they say load blank page. also fails the same way for the home page.

  Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences whenever you launch Firefox.

  The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so set of preferences via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

• Restoration of session after the crash window is missing several windows and tabs when restoring

  I opened Firefox after a reboot and it suddenly crashed (not yet create a crash report). When I opened it, even once, he brought me up to the Session Restore error page and I click on restore. Unfortunately, it has not restored all my windows and tabs and I was missing three tabbed windows. I tried to put the Session Restore error page and it was empty.

  Fortunately, I was able to recover a previous version of sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. However, when I copied them in the profile folder, it just opens a window of my home page. I don't know what is happening here. Could someone (Firefox Tech Support) please look at these files to see what is happening? I really need these three windows!

• How to restore a previous session after firefox closed and deforested browsing history, is still any chance to get it there?

  Accidentally closed down the pc and firefox did not return with option restore previous session in the first screen even in history-Restory previous session is gray. My settings are own history after closing firefox.
  Y at - it no change to return on my tabs from previous session even browsing history has been cleaned? I'd appreciate your help!

  In general, FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarting after a stoppage.

  1 kill Shutdown
  This occurs when the FireFox process ends with a TerminateProcess() appeal or if the process of FireFox crashes. It's a dirty, no cleaning is done. When restarting after this FireFox will show a dialog "well, this is embarrassing' with options to restore the items selected from the previous session.

  2 force Shutdown
  This occurs when another process ask FireFox to shut down cleanly (for example, a reboot of the PC) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask confirmation of the user. Normally, when this type of shutdown happens, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set automatically delete the history on shutdown, it may not. I suspect that this is your case. I would suggest to the FF team remove that history should be ignored in this case, only a stop of the user must delete the history.

  3 judgment of the user.
  That's when said user Firefox close (by selecting exit or by closing all the tabs etc...). Confirmation is requested to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). When the computer reboots, nothing is restored.

  Unfortunately, if you have enabled clear auto history, there is no way to recover the previous session. I'm sorry.

• Firefox does not restore the previous session in the same window?

• How to restore a previous session after a crash when it is not available?

  We had a power outage, and when my computer is back she just opened a blank session. Restore previous session was not offered as an option - it is greyed out. I tried (probably foolishly) closing and reopening.
  Now, I read a lot of ways to restore them, but many of them that I don't really understand.
  I found the profile folder and a copy of the sessionstore.
  Instructions say to right click and hit properties and then select "previous versions". That's where I come off. I don't seem to have this as an option. There are "General" tabs, "script" of 'security' and 'details' all with several sub-options. I can't seem to find anything that says than previous versions. I even followed a statement that says to do on the record and not on the file, but there is no option called 'previous versions' on either.
  I'm (unfortunately) using windows 8.

  To use an old sessionstore instead of the current file, first of all, close Firefox. Rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.old file, and then rename the sessionstore.bak -datetime sessionstore.js file. When you start Firefox, if it is set to restore the tabs and windows of the previous session should only pick up. If it is set to start with your home page, use history > restore previous Session.
