Hi Larr,

It's unclear what exactly did you do to trigger a Firefox close. Can you be more specific?

Unfortunately, if you decided not to remember History, History will not be there. You can, though, restore the previous session in the History menu. This will only work as soon as you open the browser again. If you already opened the browser again and have been playing with it, you will not be able to recover it though.

I hope it clarifies your situation.

Did Firefox crash?


more options

Nothing crashed (the options in the FF drop-down menu are limited and limiting). I had several browser windows open with web sites actively displayed, all minimized. At one point FF asked that I apply a FF update, and I indicated not now. Walked away for a moment, came back, and all web sites were closed and FF was applying the upgrade. When I got back online with the new FF13 version operational, no option was presented for me to open up previous windows or tabs. I have my browser settings NOT to maintain history. Even so, I would think that somewhere on the machine there would be a record of web sites I'd been to.

No, did not crash. The FF options for categorizing a troubleshoot inquiry are limited.
