with several tabs open, i chose "save tabs for later". i then quit firefox, and did not "restore the previous session" when i opened it next. i have now opened firefox again, and would like to restore the tabs that i had previously saved. how do i do that?

i am using firefox 6.0.1 on a mac with os 10.6.8.

thanks.

I guess when you update to 6.0.1 it defaults to "clear browser history" every time you exit. So if you have it set to save your session it will give you the option when you quit, but end up clearing your history, so it won't be able to restore it.

1. First go to Tools>Options

2. Privacy>History Here there will be History options, Select "Use custom settings for history"

3. Make sure "clear history when Firefox closes" is UNChecked

I am using Windows, so the commands may be different.
