If I had multiple FIREFOX windows running, and closed FIREFOX down (not the multiple sessions, but the FIREFOX window) when I reopened Firefox all the sessions would start back up, even if I rebooted the computer. My HD failed, and now with the new system, I'm back to one Firefox opening with the home screen. How do I restore this feature?

Hi Frank, is Firefox showing "Restore Previous Session" on the History menu? After Firefox restores the session, then up to 3 missing windows should be listed under "Recently Closed Windows" on the History menu.

To have Firefox restore your session automatically at startup, check the first box on the Settings page, "Open previous windows and tabs".

If that isn't available or doesn't work, we'll ask you to check whether your Firefox is erasing history when it closes.

Best is to use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar, especially if you have multiple windows or Private Browsing windows open to prevent losing tabs in unnoticed windows.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
