I used to be able to close firefox and have all my opened tabs saved. When I open firefox again, those tabs will be opened as I last closed firefox.

Now, I am not able to do it. The firefox was crashed at one time earlier and I have to open the task manager to force it to close because it is frozen and so was my computer. After I opened it again, there is no tabs saved which I kinda expected. Then I go on web surfing and browse various websites. Now, when I close firefox, a box pops up warning me about the opened tabs will be closed. So I googled the symptom and it brought me to this website, telling me that if I set "tools->open->general->When firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it should behave as it was before.

I tried that but it doesn't work.

Any help is appreciated.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:

  • do not clear the Browsing History

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
