My tabs are not opening automatically whenever I open up firefox on my macbook pro. Tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on Firefox Help site, but to no avail. Help.

I have been pinning websites as App Tabs on my mac book pro. However, whenever I exit firefox and reopen it next time, my tabs will be gone (even though I had pinned it and did not close it out). I tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on configuring the preferences but to no avail. Any suggestions on what my problem is?

Hi ling757,

Have you checked to see if the preference to restore the last session is still set when you open Firefox? You might want to look at the article How to fix preferences that won't save. It could be that Firefox can't save that preference.

Hopefully this helps!

Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".
