How can I disable restore previous Session?

Hello, my parents just bought a new computer and I'm helping them to implement. Now their biggest concern is that when Firefox closes and is reopened, the last session is automatically restored. They are concerned about privacy in the cases to which they are connected shopping or on their email.

I use Windows 8.1 and Firefox 33.0.2

Firefox is currently active in the options "Show my home page" when it starts. I found this link
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/975670 and followed the instructions, including the
Browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. in the config files to false, but I still had no luck. A search shows that I do not have a "user.js" file in the Firefox profile that could be the cause of the problem, so that the solution does not work for me.

I also used this page http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.enabled to check my "browser.startup.page", and it is currently set at 1 "show my home page".

I am running out of ideas and would appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Thank you!

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

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

  • 'Restore previous Session' unavailable

    I found 2 similar questions for 10 months ago on forum, ch. w / 25-30 additional people with the prob. 2 weeks ago, I asked about 2 problems, were unable to fix them. Now focus on this one only. Session restore doesn't work after quitting and restore previous session, recently closed tabs, recently closed all gray windows. I tried everything short of uninstall/reinstall and seq. was suggested to create new profile w/o corrupted files, but I have no idea what is corrupt. I'm not a geek, but can generally follow instructions. However, my concentration is impaired, if I really fear the worst.

    I have eliminated all the items that you specified. I tested it a few pages opening and stop smoking, and session restore is available, but not automatic.

    In ADDITION to the original (default) profile, my favorites now appear automatically, instead of having to toggle in the menu of the toolbar in each window. It is the success! AND, "Recently closed tabs" is now available in the original profile. I've just updated Beta 12... ; would be - what my favorites are now working properly and restore the tabs... Well, I just leave and reopened, another update took place, and now I can restore session. Maybe the problem has been all along in the earlier beta version? (The following questions were written before the session restore is available.) "Perhaps they are no longer relevant.) And finally, I quit and reopened and automatically reloaded pages. Maybe the problem is resolved. Still, I would appreciate your opinion on the probable cause of issues.

    "redo any customizations settings in the Firefox Options and customization of the toolbar. Also reinstall all extensions, so they can be initialized correctly. »

    Will I need to download each extension of Mozilla, or can I copy and paste from the old profile? Also, how can I get my story in the new profile.

    Or is the new profile just to help out, but it is not intended to replace the original? Thank you

  • Firefox has recently discontinued. I opened it again, and I had lost my pinned tabs. How can I find/restore them?

    Firefox sometimes stops, but this time I opened it as usual and my pinned tabs have been lost. I searched through the parameter etc but I can't find a way to get back them, or at least to find them. Any ideas?

    Do not close Firefox. Please save all your files of sessionstore in a safe place for potential recovery/recovery operations.

    You can open the settings file (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

    In the window that launches, scroll down and save a copy of all the files whose names begin with sessionstore to a safe place, such as your Documents folder. If not too much time has passed, we may be able to use to recover your blank tabs.

    Then you could check the menu history for 'restore previous Session "? This can appear on the application ('3-bar' menu) or on the menu bar.

    If 'Restore previous Session' is grayed out, then either Firefox has already loaded your session previous windows and tabs, or could not load the file. Check the menu history the possibility of re-opening closed windows and then labels in each window. Nothing salvageable?

    The types of files that you can find in your sessionstore files include:

    • sessionstore.js: windows and tabs in your Firefox session currently live (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    • sessionstore.bak: the windows and tabs in your last session in Firefox
    • sessionstore.bak -datetime: windows and tabs in Firefox that was alive at the time of your last update session
    • sessionstore - 1.js (or other numbered files): windows and tabs when Firefox was unable to update the sessionstore.js file registered

    Can take you a look at what you have and the date / time of the different files to see if you think that one of them would be the windows and tabs missing?
