my previous session restore crashed

• How can I stop FF from previous session restore, I've played with all the options I can find, but nothing can stop it unless I have clear history every time.

  Recently, FF started to open my tabs when I start a new session. I already checked to make sure that none of the parameters are enabled, such as the options-> general: housing starts of FF when "SHOW MY HOMEPAGE" is selected. But for some reason, it opens my last session. The only way I could so he could stop to do this is to have it delete my browsing history after that I closed the session. I don't want since I often use my story to re - find the information I need to research class. I made sure all my settings are the same since before FF has begun to do that. He has only started to do after the computer was turned off for a long weekend.

  I already looked in the help pages for Mozilla and all I can find is the restoration of the previous or similar session. I can't restore my previous session, I want to stop the restoration of my previous session without having to delete my browsing history each time.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• session restore crashed. change sessionstore.bak to .js does not.

  I tried all guide there with no luck. I tried to change my sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old and then change my sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js. Must be corrupted and does not. Tried to use many different guides such as http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38 & t = 622036 & start = 60. Tried this method from this link
  "Here is an example that works for me in Notepad in the browser environment.

  Directions for use:

  1. open about: config
  2 devtools.chrome.enabled set to true
  3 tools > web developer > Notepad
  4. environment > browser
  5 edition > paste (i.e. copy and paste code below)
  6. run > run

  or

  1 tools > web developer > console errors
  2. Paste the code into the text field
  "3. assess code."

  Not familiar with all of this code tried to follow the instructions of many of many different items. Nothing works or I just do the steps correctly. Tried using different settings/programs and extremely frustrating to the point where I want to break my laptop.

  Can someone write a guide and explain it as I am 5. Step by step to help me restore my tabs from this damaged file sessionstore.bak.

  You need to open the file in a text editor sessionstore or the Firefox tab and copy and paste the text in the text box on the web page of JSON validator, but with a file size of 2 MB, the file is probably too big to accept (perhaps limit 1 MB).

  All links come upward if you copy the sessionstore.bak file in sessionstore.bak.txt and open this txt file in a tab of Firefox and run the bookmarklet code posted below (that is to say create a new bookmark with the code and click on this button)?

  You must create a bookmark (for example on the bookmarks toolbar) and paste the complete JavaScript code into the location field. You can give the bookmark a name like JSON

  javascript:(function(){var D=document,H,i=j=0,P=D.getElementsByTagName('pre'),t=[],R=/[^:]\{"entries":\[\{("url":"([^"]*)")\,("title":"([^"]*)"){0,1}/g,T,U;for(j=0;E=P[j];j++){H=E.innerHTML;while(R.exec(H)){U=RegExp.$2;T=RegExp.$4;if(T.length==0){T=U;}t.push('<b>['+(++i)+']</b> <a href='+U+'>'+T+' ('+U+')<\/a>');}}with(window.open().document){write(t.join('<br>\n'));close()}})();

• How to re - activate the functions 'Restore previous Session', "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed Windows" in the menu of history?

  For some time, four choices in the restore section (tabs of other devices, Previous Session Restore recently closed tabs and recently closed Windows) have been shaded. Keyboard shortcuts do not work, and didn't undo closed tab in the context menu of the tab.

  I found and tried various patches to do this, including:

  • From Firefox in Mode safe without addons.
  • Firefox reset.
  • Change the values of browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in all: config.
  • Check to see if I have a user.js in profile Firefox. (I don't).
  • Verify that the private browsing is not the default mode. (It is not).
  • Create a profile to see if it had the same problem. (He did.)
  • Running anti-malware analysis. (BitDefender and SpyBot).
  • Temporarily disable my anti-virus and anti-malware.

  Any of these solve my problems.

  Other devices tab is grayed out, but I've never used, and it might have previously grayed out.

  The story works in general. Sites I visit are added to the log.

  Preferences are saved correctly when I change them.

  Any advice on how to solve the problem would be much appreciated, as I am very fond of these features and often served until they stopped working.

  ADDITIVE

  After that looking through the list of preferences of change created by the resolution of the problems, I tried now also reset the following text:

  • browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion
  • browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
  • Browser.cache.Disk.Capacity
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.first_run
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.use_old_max
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size_cached_value

  The problem persists.

  I finally managed to understand this. In searching the Web, I found a thread detailing a similar problem on the Mozillazine forum. The problem has been identified as a missing browser.sessionstore.enabled set, so I went looking in Subject: config and couldn't find it. After creating the entry, by assigning the value true and restart Firefox, the functions of recovery/recently started working again. Apparently, some bookmark plugins and session-based can cause this problem, but in my case, it must have been something else, that I never had no such plug-ins installed.

  If you have this problem, here's a detailed itinerary of the way I fixed it. Whereas there seems to be several problems that can cause restore/recently functions to stop working, it is not a guaranteed fix, but it is still a thing to try, at least.

  1. Open a new tab or window.
  2. Type of topic: config address in the box and press ENTER.
  3. Read reviews and promise to be careful.
  4. Copy this: browser.sessionstore.enabled - and paste in Subject: config'search box in s. press ENTER.
  5. If you copied the text at the top right, the setting should appear in the list. If it is not the case, you have the same problem, I did. (I would say that you copy/paste the text indicated and only this text before moving on to double check).
  6. If the parameter does not exist, right click on the parameters of the list and choose new-> Boolean. Paste the parameter name that you copied previously in the name box, click OK and then set the Boolean true. Once you have click OK, restart Firefox, and (hopefully) things should work properly again.

  Thanks to everyone who offered help and thoughts!

• How to remove previous desktop session restore

  How can I delete the previous session 'restore' from the top of office

  Hi keeopac,

  Can you be a little more descriptive? Are you talking about the previous session restore point that you see if you type Subject: House in the address bar?

  If this is the case, you could just make www.google.com your homepage. You can find steps on changing the home page in the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.

  Hope this helps!

• How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

  How can I get rid of the box that appears when you start Firefox 'Restore previous Session'?

  Subject: House is the default in Firefox 4 home page - look at the address bar containing the addresses of web page - it is the container for Google search, with a 'extract container' and below these elements is the Previous Session Restore button. It's not the same homepage that previous versions of Firefox used (although it is similar in appearance), it is a 'local' page that won't load the Internet.

  Set this page as your home page, which is what Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions had for the default home page. He has Previous Session Restore button/link.

• 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;

• Rename the session restore backup does not work, how can I restore previous session after a crash?

  Computer crashed and Firefox don't remember my session. It happened a few weeks ago while I had looked at how to fix and I learned from my mistake and saved the sessionstore.bak file before restarting Firefox. I closed Firefox, deleted sessionstore.js and renamed .bak to js but to start what it does not always restore session.

• How to stop Firefox 18 to restore the previous Session after a Crash

  Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7

  When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I don't want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How can I stop Firefox restore the previous session after an accident?

  Please note:
  1 - my homepage is set to 'white page '.
  2. I configured Firefox does NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields, and passwords.
  3 - even in Safe Mode (with all disabled add-ons), Firefox ALWAYS restores the previous session after a crash.

  Thanks a lot for your help. I hope that my vote immerses you in the category "TOP 9".

• 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.

• 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.

• Tab (and Windows) restore + restore previous Session deactivated after upgrading to Firefox 29

  After the upgrade to Firefox 29 all restore option is disabled
  I did this step before post question
  1. check setting history if it is not explicit story after closing
  2 check about: config to change possible
  3. search internet and here for a similar problem with this update, FIREFOX 29

  but I could not find something
  Firefox Restore tab or windows after close or even previous session
  Even after crash firefox did not restore tab or I could select from the menu

  Please consider creating a backup of all files affected just by applying the following steps.

  In '% appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\' is a file called < something > .default (this is the your firefox profile folder)

  1. close Firefox

  2. in this folder, delete the following files:

  • sessionCheckpoints.json
  • sessionstore.js + variations such as sessionstore - 1.js, sessionstore.bak, etc.

  3. restart Firefox

  Session restore should now work even though your last session will be always lost. In case you still have questions, try to disable the session restore feature before you apply above steps and he subsequently reactivation.

• in the 'history' drop-down list, there is an option to "restore the previous session. I want to remove this option completely.

  I speak no crashes or my home page. I'm talking about the option in the history drop-down that allows anyone who comes behind me to restore my session, after I'm gone.

  COR - el, I read several threads with this question, and you always seem to post these links. I don't think you understand the question properly. I read the first link you posted, and the most relevant element has been 'store session completely disabling. so I went in: config, and did what I was told. I set the preferences browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0. it does not work. After that, I close firefox and reopen. in the drop-down list in the history, there's always an option to restore previous session, I click on it and it restores session.

  Diego, your response is not what I was hoping. I want to stay signed in the pages I frequent. like gmail, youtube, ect. your solution sign me out of everything every time. Thus, although technically it works, this is not the option I want to use. but after tinkering with the options in this section I figured it for everyone with my same worries:

  go to: Tools > options > privacy, in the 'history' pane, select 'clear history of firefox closing', click on settings for this option, select "Browse and download history.

• 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?

• What can I do to find file extensions, please? I'm trying to restore my previous session on Firefox, & need help file extensions...

  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.
  Or... do you something if I activate a restore point which would be an easier option?
  I'm old & not a geek, if need you detailed instructions please

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

  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.
