I use FireFox 88.0.1. in Windows 10 (x64, ja-jp), I set it up to open last sessions.

But It doesn't work sometimes.

When FireFox is already closed, and I open files which click URLs in other programs (like a Discord, MS Teams etc.), then FireFox open them and It doesn't restore last session.

So, FireFox was closed -> I reopen the FireFox normally ( OK )

But, FireFox was closed -> I click some URLs or open Files(they are connected with FireFox) -> FireFox REOPEN ( AND MY LAST SESSION GOING SOME WHERE!! )

I don't know this problem occured from me (such as mistake of settings).

I'm wating for your kindly answer.

With the browser closed, if you click a link that opens Firefox, this overrides the normal home page and saved tabs.

Then, There is no solution to not miss my last session without third-party-plugins?

I think this workflow(or algorithm) isn't user-friendly-work.

Did you check whether "History -> Restore Previous Session" is available ?

When I want to use Firefox: First I open a Firefox window. Then I drop it to the taskbar. I then use a new window. Sometimes I accidentally close the browser window. If I do, I use the first window to restore the closed window.


Open your Firefox. Then drop it to the taskbar. After, try opening whatever links you want.
