Hello,

I want to disable session store due to huge amount of data written on my SSD.

I tried all suggestions from the other threds, such as:

browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo 0 browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo 0 and other preferences... I also tried to find "user" file in profile folder, but the file is not there.

Any other idea?

Thank you.

Maybe consider to use the portable Firefox version that is designed to minimize disk access.

The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with the currently installed release version.
