• How can I stop firefox trying to restore my previous sessions

  Since I updated to firefox 20.0 I had a problem with firefox. Whenever I start firefox I get a message saying that it is so embarrassing to try but not to restore my previous session and it gives me the opportunity to be close the page and go to the home screen, or to restore my previous session. My preferences has the show my home page selected, every time I close Firefox, I close the page by pressing the red x, and then I put the firefox icon or the tab of firefox at the top of my screen and select Exit. I have reset firefox twice and that no longer works.

  A possible cause can be that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

  Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

  I was told if I found the session files I would be better able to restore my previous browsing sessions... I am using Windows XP PRO SP3 32-bit.
  But I was also told that if I went to a particular place on Microsoft Windows, I know how to get the file extensions, so far I have had no luck with assistance here... hoping someone can help.

  Thanks in anticipation... I am very grateful to be able to request...

  Session files are located in your profile folder and are named sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If you have had an accident, FF load automatically and ask you if you want to use the session crashed.

  If you don't have an accident, you can load the last session in FF from the default home page by clicking on the restore session. If you have changed the default home page you can call it by adding on: houses a copy of your FF shortcut. Simply change as follows...
  
  Then, you will see this...
  
  Click on restore the previous session.

• Firefox crashed and does not give me the option to restore my previous session.

  Hello

  I've been using firefox for a while now and so far, ive never had a problem like this.

  Firefox crashed last night while I was asleep, and when I woke up this morning to turn it back on, the crash reporter asked me that if I wanted to restart firefox, I did, but when it is loaded, instead of asking if I wanted to restore my previous session, he loaded a blank page which had a white patch is looking for unusual at the top where the tab bar is supposed to be , with the legs of loading below.

  The tabs that I had loaded were all very important to me and I would like to find a way to get back them if possible, however, I was unable to find anything on the other help pages that describes the solves my problem.

  Please help if you can, it would be greatly appreciated.

  PS I apologize for not to include an image of the window of buggy, it didn't occur to me to take a screenshot before I closed it.

  sessionstore.bak files are no longer used in current versions of Firefox, so they are probably for some time ago (seven 2014:20140923175406) and may no longer be of use.

  One possible way to inspect a sessionstore.js file or a file in the sessionstore-backups folder is open in a Firefox tab and to evaluate that JavaScript code in the Web Console (Firefox/tools > Web Developer).

  Paste the code into the Web Console command line and press the Enter key to evaluate the code.

  eval("ss = "+document.body.innerHTML.replace("<pre>","").replace("</pre>",""));
  sd='';
  for (var i = 0; i < ss.windows[0].tabs.length; i++) {
   var ent = ss.windows[0].tabs[i].entries;
   var last = ent[ent.length-1];
   sd+="["+(i+1)+"]:"+"<a href="+last.url+">"+last.url+"</a><br />";
  }
  document.body.innerHTML=sd;

• Version 38.0.1 of Firefox will not restore a previous session by using Tab Mix Plus; all other versions prior to version 38.0 work.

  I installed all versions of Firefox to version 31.0 38.0 and the only one that does not restore a previous session using session Tab Mix Plus restore feature was version 38.0 or 38.0.1 (latest version).

  I think I saw something about this on their support forum, the other day, and the suggestion was to try the current development version:

  • Forum: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
  • versions: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/versions/

  However, you can start a new thread with your specific symptoms to see if you get different advice.

• Whenever I open Firefox, it restores my previous session without being invited.

  I set parameters so that when I start Firefox to go on my home page, which is just the Mozilla Firefox start page. Despite this option is defined, it always restore my previous session every time I open Firefox.

  One of the possible reasons are a statement in a user.js file. Firefox checks a file user.js at startup, and it replaces your own preferences. This article describes how to check for this problem as possible: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Another possible reason is if Firefox does not close properly and is still recovering from a perceived fall. To see if this is the issue, you can change what Firefox works after an accident so that instead of automatically display tabs from the previous session, it shows you a list of the tabs. Here's how:

  (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (C) double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.

  The next time Firefox starts if you get the screen saying 'it's embarrassing"and display a list of your last session tabs, then the problem is that Firefox crashes on shutdown.

  Does this help with your startup?

• Why Firefox doesn't save my tabs from the previous session although I chose to do it in the options?

  Firefox does not save my tabs from the previous session, although I have chosen in options, to save my tabs from the previous session.

  Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so it is no longer necessary for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.
  
  Use ' file > exit ' or ' Firefox > output "If you want to restore multiple windows.
  
  You can use "Firefox > history > restore previous Session ' to get the previous session at any time.
  
  There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

  Another possibility is to use:

  • Firefox/tools > Options > General > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

  Make sure that you do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the browsing history when you close Firefox.

  • How can I restore my tabs from last time?

• Firefox restore my previous session every time. How can I do this by default for ONLY my home page at startup?

  This problem started one day without changing any parameters passed month. I read every tip, tips s, and detailed instructions for these settings on the Firefox support forum, but without talking to my PC to clear my history every time then it starts my previous session without fail. My story saved, I want to have my previous session to be the Firefox start page. It is very irritating when I start Firefox and have to go and close five tabs as well as by clicking on the home button just to get to that I've specified to be my homepage. I am very distraught because I just read a question which was published more than 3 months ago with exactly the same problem but no solution. In any case, I thank everyone's help.

  Please: no suggestion that would involve the that I've never touched a computer. If it's essential... I already made the attempt.

  You can remove the user.js file as you do not need and it was probably created by other software.
  
  You can also choose delete all text in the file and save this empty file and set read-only to prevent it from reappearing.

• How to restore a previous session to a record of old data of Firefox?

  There was a power outage today while I was start of Firefox and the computer shut down instantly. Later, when I tried to open Firefox again, he started glitching, with the option to restore Session only resulting in empty tabs. I refreshed Firefox and now I have an "Old Firefox Data" folder.

  I have a folder of sessionrestore-backups in this folder, a file 'previous.js '. How to use this file (or other folder) to access my lost session? It is possible at all?

  Thanks for any help.

  You can find these files in the sessionstore-backup folder:

  previous.js (cleanBackup: copy of sessionstore.js from previous session that was loaded successfully)
  recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
  recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
  upgrade.js-<build_id> (backup created during an upgrade of Firefox)
  

  You can copy a file in the sessionstore-backup folder to the main profile and rename sessionstore.js file to replace the current file (make a backup of the current sessionstore.js).

• How to I have restart Firefox without restoring a previous session?

  Whenever I encounter a suspicious site (like a fake antivirus, redirection porn site, etc.), I'll close Firefox 6 using the Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL then Applications / Close). I do this because sites often suspicious Web you don't have to click on something before you can close your browser [example: are you sure you want to exit this Web site?] Yes/No]. I don't want to click on anything that may install malicious software.
  After forced when I re - open Firefox, it attempts to restore my last session automatically. This of course re - opens the same suspect site and I have to close Firefox a second time with CTRL-ALT-DELETE. After this second termination constraint I get the page "well, it's embarrassing" and I can choose to start a new session.
  My question: is it possible to stop Firefox to automatically restore a session of old when it is closed or force terminated?
  By the way... In Tools/Options/general/start, I set to 'Show my home page' at startup.

  Set the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes pref to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

• 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.

• My firefox is not loading tabs, windows, and the previous session. I already put it to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

  I have "Remember history" set in total privacy, so it's not clear the history when I close Firefox. He is not one of my modules because only one updated yesterday and it has nothing to do with play with history. I haven't run CCleaner or any program within two seconds there myself too close and re - open Firefox. When I open Firefox, it takes me to "subject: House" and I have to re - open closed my previous session through the windows recently.

  Anyone has any ideas or has happen to them and know how to fix?

  Well, it seems that the problem resolved itself. I don't know what happened. But when I opened Firefox after only a few hours of leave it shut, it opens two different windows. Last night and a new brand. Closed both and now its works well. Firefox probably did not close properly last night. Maybe
