When closing and reopening, my tabs aren't restoring like the once did. My history is only keeping one day. Need to know how to change these settings.

When closing and reopening Firefox, my tabs aren't restoring like they once did. I used to have all my tabs restore each time I opened Firefox. Now it starts with one fresh new tab and all my others are lost. I do a lot of research so this is important.

My history is only displaying one day even though I have never changed my settings even after I updated it last year.

Need to know how to restore these settings.

      • OH! special note: I can't use the recently closed tabs or recently closed windows because its a grayed out option****

Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner?

If you use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

There are other things that need attention:

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  • Java Plug-in 1.6.0_05 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.
