Hi there

why does RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION not work after a few sessions?

I use Firefox twice per day and each time I boot up my PC (WIndows 7), it prompts me to restore my previous session. I realised after a few of these boot-up sessions, it DOES NOT allow me to restore my previous session. Going to History, the tab "restore previous session" is unclickable too.

How does one RETAIN restore previous session PERMANENTLY? I'm using Firefox 24.0

Kindly advise me.

Thanks Joseph klubbheads@gmail.com

see if in your Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data if there is the file "sessionstore.bak"

sure but how does one even get to sessionstore.bak?

Try to open it with firefox

And then after opening Firefox, and then what? If you're trying to help it'd be appreciative you are clear and complete with your instructions.

Thanks!
