• How to automatically restore the session after a crash/update / without asking me if I want to restore it?

  Hello, there are times that my Firefox crashes (well, it happens to all of us who use it to some extent) or updates asking to restart. I would like to know if there is an option that allows you to restore the previous session automatically without asking me even. It would be very useful for reasons. I had this kind of problem a couple of times ending me be upset. Sometimes I misclicked and lost all my important tabs. Other times my firefox has crashed/shifted on after reboot and guess what sound restart still has not even asking me if I wanted to restore my session crashed.

  Thank you in advance.

  Cesarius Hi, I think I understand, but I have not explained completely.

  The browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference is to avoid an infinite loop. The default value 1 means an attempt to restore the session automatically once and if it fails (for example, it crashes before it can finish to restore), then display the "embarrassing". You could try to increase the value of 2 or 3 and see if it works on the second or third time. If you still see the screen "This is awkward" after a crash, Firefox still does not make a failback.

  You can also check if there is a file user.js in your profile folder. A user.js file is a file of optional parameters that Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings saved in your previous session. Unless you create a user.js file yourself, you can usually just remove it. This article includes a section on the hunt for a possible user.js file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Note: by default, Windows hides the .js file extension. Precise work with file names, I suggest setting windows to show all file extensions. This article has the steps: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

• Restore the Session bug - fails after erasing history

  This happens sometimes in the past, but after the latest update of Firefox, it happens almost everytime. When I close the browser, I want to clear the history first. Also, before you remove history, I open a new empty tab and close tab old, just to make sure the history is cleared. So, the next time I start up the browser, I get this message not being able to restore the session, one that starts with "well, it's embarrassing. Firefox has struggle to recover your windows and tabs. »

  Same behavior as in this other thread, but I guess I'm supposed to start a new thread.
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/959257

  I didn't know there is a function 'clear history of Firefox closing', I just do everything manually.

  What is the start setting?

  • Tools > Options > general > startup: 'when Firefox starts '.

  You manually close the story or do you currently use 'clear history of Firefox closing?

  Use "Firefox > output" (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: Firefox > quit Firefox. Linux: Firefox/file > exit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing by clicking on the X close in the title bar of Firefox.

  The 'well, it's embarrassing... "message means that Firefox did not close properly the last time and had possibly crashed.

• 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. Previous restoration on the history tab still grayed out, about: sessionrestore revealed without tab. I even tried to copy this file and also naming copies as sessionstore-1 & 2. How to operate?

  You can try to restore a previous version of the file sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak. You must rename the .bak to .js file to make Firefox see this session.

• '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

• I've recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox and can not find the command "Restore last session". Anyone know where it is? Thank you

• I can restore a session when the Session restore fails?

  After a kernel panic (I assume that's what it was), I was not able to restore my Firefox session, which had about 5 tabs open with a few dozen URLS to the breast. I'm writing this, there has been more than panic the kernel and Firefox crashes and Firefox allowed me to restore these sessions. However, this is the session that preceded the first accident/panic that holds these tabs I want to restore. Which can be reached?

  When I launched Firefox after the first crash, Session Restore window did not offer to restore my previous session, that the list was empty, not showing any tab list.

  I tried to search for the files sessionrestore.js and sessionrestore.bak in my system (OS x Lion), but they are not here. By the advice of some google search results, they said that there should be a Firefox folder to library > Application Support > Firefox, but I have no such folder Firefox just Mozilla file, and the js/bak files are not there either.

  Finally, I would like to make a backup (a clone) of my HARD drive for a few weeks, in the case which can also be used to help restore my session.

  I have included 2 Crash ID below. The first is one of the most recent (05/02/2012). There is indeed a dozen for that date, but it is earlier (in time) of the bunch, so I guess that maybe he'll relate to my first fall, even if that happened yesterday evening (2/14). The second ID is the 2nd most recent crash as of 1/14.

  Thanks for any help you can provide on this issue.

  You are welcome.

  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.
