The box in Settings > General > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs is still unticked.

Does anyone know what could be causing it and how to fix it?

Thanks :)

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar, especially if you have multiple windows or Private Browsing windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit

The last session will be restored automatically if the browser crashes or closes unexpectedly unless browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash is set to false in about:config. It will also be restored if Firefox is left running during system shutdown unless toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart is set to false.
