How can I get Firefox to remember my open tabs the way it once did?

In the past, each time I reopened Firefox, the tabs which I had had opened opened back up. But the other day I accidentally installed a "Radio.... something or other" toolbar while trying to listen to an ESPN press conference. After I added that toolbar, the next time I opened Firefox, none of my tabs re-opened, so I uninstalled the toolbar, but now, when I close Firefox, with several tabs open, and then re-open it, it does not remember the previously open tabs.

Thanks,

Doug Weiskopf

hello doug, this toolbar was probably adware which still left remnants on your system, so please perform all these steps:

  1. reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
