the tab mix add-on disengaged my "keep tabs for next session when closing firefox" and I can't find where to get this option back. I will use another browser if I can't solve this.

Chosen solution

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history.

  • do not clear the Browsing History

  • Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
  • Clearing Cookies will remove all selected cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you want to keep.

i refreshed Firefox to get rid of that add-on. I then deleted my preferences file and restarted Firefox. Still wipes out my tabs after closing firefox... im not given the option to keep tabs for next browsing session.
