Firefox 9 does not load my last viewed webpages from the last time I shut it down

When I would shut down firefox 8, it would save my last web pages I was on. When I came back and started firefox again, they would load up.

With firefox 9 they do not do that, I originally left the settings alone from version 8 and it only load the About:home page, without the Restore Previous Session button, and it is greyed out in the History Menu

Hi abels27,

Have you looked in Tools > Options > General to see if your startup page setting has been changed? There is a setting in there that asks what you would like Firefox to do on startup. In your case, you should set it to Show my windows and tabs from last time.

If that setting doesn't fix the issue, you might want to take a look at the article Preferences not saved.

Hopefully this helps!

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

Thank you for the info, Unfortunately I was not able to find this Question, After I posted, I was able to resolve the Issue, and As for the Javascript Errors, I was able to find a Copy of Firefox 8.0.1, and Downgrade to this Particular Version. (From Version 9)
