Where is the option to restore previous session?
I just upgraded firefox to version 29 and the dropdown menu in the upper left corner is gone. I can't find the options menu. I can search history, but I can't find the option to restore previous session. Ctrl+shift+t works to open tabs in the current session but it will not restore my previous session.
How do I restore my previous session?
I am experiencing the same problem and the option is greyed out. I also have it set to open at my last session which is not working either.

How to complete disable the option to "restore previous session"?
I wish to disable the option to "restore previous session".
This should be disabled from the History tab.Maybe disable session restore.

i am not talking about crashes or my home page. i am talking about the option in the history drop down that enables anyone who comes behind me to restore my session after i am gone.
cor-el, i have read multiple threads with this question, and you always seem to post these links. i do not think that you are understanding the question properly. i read the first link you posted, and the most relevant item was "disabling session store completely". so i went into about:config, and did what i was told. i set the preferences browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0. '''this doesnt work'''. after i do this, i close firefox, and reopen. in the history dropdown there is ''still'' an option to restore previous session, i click it and it restores session.
diego, your answer isnt what i was hoping for. i would like to remain signed into the pages i frequent. such as gmail, youtube, ect. your solution signs me out of everything every time. so, though technically it works, this isnt the option i want to use. but after tinkering with the options in this section i figured it out for anyone else with my same concerns:
'''''go to: tools > options > privacy, in the "history" pane, check "clear history when firefox closes", click settings for that option, check "browsing and download history". ''''' -
Had about 15 windows w/ tabs open. System was a little sluggish and had not been rebooted in weeks so I Quit FIREFOX. Restarted the Mac, then FIREFOX. Option to Restore Previous Session was grayed out. I haven't used that computer since, hoping not to overwrite record of previous session.
I've used the Restore Previous Session feature many times before without any problems.You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Suggestion: add the option "auto restore last session on program start"
I know about "reopen all the windows from the last session" in the History menu. I would like to have the option of automatic reopen.
And would be more convenient to swap buttons "Add to favorites" and "Refresh page" (screenshot: http://img198.imageshack.us/i/clip6s.jpg/)And a few Apple employees from time to time

FF hung up on launch, resulting in skipping option to restore previous session.
when i use about:sessionrestore, it doesn't show previous session. i keep my life in open tabs and seriously feel hopeless about losing my 92 open tabs. lost and useless. is there any way to recover (that doesn't require an IT background)
yes, i should probably bookmark, but it's a pain to organize bookmarks, i just use the open tabs and the windows to organize.Please continue with the original question [/questions/992628]

I want to remove "Restore Previous Session" without disabling crash/tab restore and history
I have checked "Clear history when ff closes" & "Active logins" / "Saved passwords" but nothing.
The options of restoring a session after a crash and reopening an accidentally closed tab are great, but I just can't feel ok that everyone on my pc can restore a whole session with an email (facebook, forum,etc) account logged in with the "Restore Previous Session" "feature", if I forgot to log out before closing Firefox.
For me this is a big privacy issue. Please don't make me switch to Chrome!I managed to remove the "Restore Previous Session" button from the home page by changing my default home page with this : www.google.com/firefox/ (the default home page from the previous versions of Firefox). It worked for me, I hope it works for you too.

How do I turn off "restore previous session"?
When I open FireFox-it gives me the option to "restore previous setting" How do I turn this feature off?
Hi Tater23,
Try going to ''Tools > Options > General'' and see if you have set Firefox to restore your previous session on startup. For detailed information on setting up the homepage, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps! -

There is No option to restore previous session when I go into History. There is No Recent history in the History. It will show my history if I click on show History, but it won't restore it!Hi StuckAtHomeMom
try in PRIVACY panel to set : Firefox will: Use custom settings for history and :
Uncheck: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
Uncheck: [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"
check everything else and in Accept third-party cookies, set Keep until: they expire

Can I avoid having "Restore Previous Session" box when launching?
After opening Firefox and then closing it normally (with the red X or using File | Exit), then the next time I open Firefox there is a blue window in the lower middle of the screen to "Restore Previous Session." What if I don't want that window there? There was no fault, no crash of any kind. I've disabled the "restore session after crash" but that didn't help.
I do want the browser to remember my browsing history to help fill in the address bar.Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions. -

Dear Sir/Madam,
I do hope you are able to assist me - I lodged a query earlier on today and got a response (I've put it below) really quickly and was much appreciated; however it didn't address my query (it seemed to just cover what I had already found on the website and not that I don't have the "Restore" buttons on either my Firefox homepage or on the pull down menu.
If you could let me know how to restore a previous session without either the "Restore" button on the homepage or the pull down Firefox menu, it would be appreciated (Also, I have not changed my settings)
My initial query & reply:
I hope you may be able to assist me - my computer turned off while I was in Firefox and in the past this has been no problem as I always got the page giving me the option to recover my previous open pages. Today however it opened on the Firefox home page. I have tried to recover pages as per help instructions on the Mozilla pages, but on the Firefox home page I don't have the recover previous session button, and when I go to history on the Firefox pull down menu the "Restore previous sessions, Recently Closed Tabs, Recently Closed Options" selections have been disabled.
Could you please let me know how I can recover my previous session?
Thanks and regards, Graeme

You can check browser.sessionstore.* prefs including browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash on the about:config page and reset browser.sessionstore prefs that are user set (bold) via the right-click context menu to the default value to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

Hi there,
I have been having a hell of a time over the last couple days days to recover my lost tabs in Firefox, which vanished yesterday morning (Restore Previous Session and Restore Closed Tabs were both greyed out). Actually, my add-ons have also been removed and many of my settings seem to have reverted back to their default state.
My default setting was to show my windows and tabs from last time, but I recently updated Advanced System Care, and it seems that its AutoClean feature (which sweeps cookies, surfing history, cookies, browser cache, etc. at startup) removed all of this. I'm pretty sure this was the culprit, anyway - curiously my history seems to have not been deleted. But I did get a notification after I booted that AutoClean had run and done its thing.
I had a lot of tabs open, which I realize is not necessarily a best practice, that had some important information on them. Sifting through my browsing history to find all of the important tabs I had open would probably take weeks and isn't really an option at this point. Also, my tabs didn't open until they were clicked, so I wouldn't be able to just look at the history over the last few days (since some of them were originally opened quite a while ago and haven't been clicked since).
I would tremendously appreciate any assistance that anyone could provide in recovering these tabs or a previous day's session/state. I have done a lot of reading so far but haven't been able to find an answer that works. If someone has one, that would make me extremely happy. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Thank you for reading,
BrianYou you no longer have access to that previous session via the sessionstore.js file, but still have the history then you need to check the history and use one of the sort options like sort by visited date to see which pages have been visited during that time period.
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.
