I had 20 tabs in firefox, firefox crashed and after that it cant remember tabs when restarted, it loads with the right amount of tabs but all of them are empty and named "new tab".

I have deleted sessionstore.js and .bak but it didnt change anything, when i close down firefox and opens sessionstore.js i can see it have stored the old tabs, just wont load them when starting up.

I dont care about the lost tabs, i just want the feature to work again, any ideas?

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Please update to the current Firefox 33 release.

  • Help > About Firefox

The Firefox version that you currently run is no longer supported with security updates.

  • It is important to update Firefox and add-ons to the latest version to get all security fixes.
