To show tabs from last session: Options>General>Show windows/tabs from last time. It's set to that, yet firefox automatically clears history/tabs after 3 days.

Why is this happening? At one point I was able to close the window and all my tabs were saved but since updating to the new version of firefox, it automatically clears the history and tabs after 3 days. Therefore, selecting "show windows and tabs from last time" doesn't work.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

Also check the Clear (Recent) History settings.

Thank you Cor-El. It turns out that it's the ASC software that's automatically clearing history and tabs. I just realized it today for the first time. Thanks for your response.
