In the latest updates of firefox, from firefox 16 onwards, everytime i close the browser and there are some websites which i didnt close, the next time i start firefox they automatically start loading. I have tried searching for a way to stop this because honestly if i wana restore a previous session, I know where the option is i could just go to firefox tab and click to restore previous session. Please show me how to make it stop automatically loading all the previous session websites and tabs when i start a new session because i can't find the option to stop it.

Thankyou.

Hello virusa, go form Firefox button > Options > Options > General panel > Startup > When Firefox starts > UNselect Show my windows and tabs from last time
