The 'show my windows and tabs from last time' on Firefox start is not working now for some reason.

I was having trouble with Firefox having crashed earlier and it didn't reload my tabs even though I have it set in the options menu to 'show my windows and tabs from last time' when I start firefox. Well, this setting doesn't seem to be doing anything now and I've tried switching settings but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get it functioning again. Any help?

If you use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox in Firefox 3.5 and later 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.

Well, that's great, but I never clear my history unless something happens. I did clear my recent history after this happened in the hopes that whatever was bugging it might go away with that but to no avail. So I figured it might be a virus or something so I ran a virus scan last night.

I got on today after letting that go and it seems that Firefox figured out it had crashed a long time previously? It then reloaded itself with all my tabs so... it fixed itself I guess.

Anyways, thanks for the help though. I will keep it on my mind for future intent in case I do something like that.  :)
