Well, basically that. On normal browse ( no incognito ) tabs will re open if I re-launch firefox, even with the "Open previous windows and tabs" option off.

Am I missing something or is it normal ?

thanx

Tabs are restored automatically when the browser doesn't close cleanly (eg crashes) or it is left running when the system is restarted. You can disable this by changing browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash and toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart to false in about:config.

You can set this pref to 0 (zero) on the about:config page to always show the Session Restore page in case of a crash or when you use the Task Manager to force a shutdown.

  • browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes => 0
