when firefox crashes it not restoring my tabs I once had up ? :(
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you get that "Well, this is embarrassing" window then that means that Firefox has crashed more than once and there should be a sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak file.

Firefox 15 is not restoring last tabs.
Simply put, Firefox 15 is not restoring my last session. I have it set in my options to restore the last session, but it's not happening. Prior to the update, it was working, and now it's not working on both of my computers.
I'm using Firefox 16.0 on the beta release channel.

When firefox crashes and reopens it offers to restore pages hours/days old.
When firefox crashes and is reopened, it usually brings up the pages that were open during the crash, but many times when firefox crashes, it will offer to restore pages that I did look at but that are hours/days old.
e.g.
I will be on youtube, facebook, my school website, and pandora. Firefox crashes. I reopen. Firefox offers to restore google search, my email, and wordpress, which I had looked at the night before.I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help! -
I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?
In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

How to restore a previous sessions, when Firefox crashes?
Usually, Firefox restores automatically the previous session at startup when it crashed. If not, try History menu -> Restore previous session.

When firefox crashes I lose all of my pinned sites.
When Firefox crashes or freezes and has to be closed, I lose all of my pinned sites. Why are these saved somewhere?
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application. -

Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.

When firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time is greyed out
firefox 4.0 startup. when I go to general under options when firefox starts show my windows and tabs from last time it is grayed out and I can't select it.
Yes, that can happen if you run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session" -

Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -
Every time I close a tab, Firefox crashes. These forums hinted that it was a Norton issue (and that it had been solved) so I contacted Norton. Spent 2 hrs on support with them, including them remotely controlling my computer. Norton is 100% updated, and the crashes happened EVEN WHEN WE DISABLED NORTON. So, it is NOT a Norton issue. What can I do? This is very frustrating and makes it impossible to continue to use Firefox.
hello, these crashes are the same norton issue that was written about in the forums during the last few weeks (the norton component coffplgn.dll is causing the crashes) - according to symantec the cause fro the crashes wasn't fixed in its 2012 product line: https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-18-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/m-p/900991/highlight/true#M8266
so you might want to disable all norton addons in firefox > addons > extensions or upgrade to norton 2013...

When Firefox crashes, the tabs return, but I have to start (and remember) where I was in each video?
I often have a dozen vids open, and am some distance into each of them... 5 minutes, 10 mins, whatever. Firefox (or my system) crashes. The tabs restore - but each of the vids is at the beginning. Is there a way for Firefox to remember exactly how far into each of these dozen or 2 dozen vids I was when the crash occurred - and then return me to that point?
There is no way to know for Firefox where a video was interrupted because of that crash. Such videos are played by a plugin that loads the files.
You will have to find the cause of the crashes and fix that as crashes shouldn't happen.
You can try a new profile with no extensions enabled (check that in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and only the (Flash) plugin enabled that is used to play those videos. to see if that works.
You can also try to disable Out-Of-Process-Plugins for Flash.

When Firefox gets hung up, I do a force quit. Then when I restart my Mac, it tries to restore all the sessions I had open before the crash. It doesn't crash often but every time it crashes, it does the automatic session restoration. The crash happens when I haven't shut down my computer for a day or two; it's like Firefox just gets tired and needs to be refreshed. It doesn't seem to matter what windows I had open. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.
We close all applications before we power down the system. There is nothing open before we turn it off yet the same boxes open when we turn it back on.

I typically keep many windows with several tabs open. It is possible that this causes more crashes since the number of pages multiplies any effect most users with less pages/tabs would experience. I have been having problems with Firefox crashing Using the windows task manager I have looked into this issue monitoring lots of variables. Bottom line the crash is caused by increasing memory usage possibly caused by the flash add on which is doing many IO reads on at least one offending page/tab. Could some sites be using flash to read from my disk without permission and there is a memory leak in either flash of the code the sites uses? I have searched the web for a task manager like add-on for Firefox tabs that would allow me to determine the offending page/tab/add-on/extension. It seems like a great idea which has not been implemented. Since I am a developer I would be happy to implement, but would like some guidance since my knowledge of your product is only at the user level.
There is currently about:memory page which is being actively developed. A "task manager"of sorts is also in the works AFAIK. If you want to help out, your best bet is to find the applicable bug in Bugzilla. If you have the coding skills I can help get you in touch with a mentor - just let me know.

When I configure
Options>Privacy>History -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all: -> Browsing History
all of my App Tab tabs are cleared, as well. Do I have to give up my privacy in order to use the App Tab feature?You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.
