Tabs from last session are not restored when restarting, restore previous session and recently closed tabs not available under History. Yes, show my windows and tabs from last time and remember history enabled under options but not working. Reinstalling does not help.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:

  • Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

Do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the "Browsing History".

Thanks a lot for the reply, but I've tried all that and it doesn't help. Have also tried to reinstall and restore from backup to no avail.
