Doesn't remember tabs when restarting
I'm running V 3.6.13 and when I restart it, I get the question if I want Firefox to remember all my tabs and I click on Save and Quit. However, it doesn't remember them and only opens a single tab. I don't recall making any changes to options or settings. Is this a but or am I missing something?
Thanks.

If you use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.
I don't do that when closing Firefox.
This can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder
Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
See:
Did as above with sessionstore.js file. Also read and followed the instructions in the above article. Neither worked. Typically I click on the X in the upper right hand corner and receive the option message to Save and Quit or just Quit. I always click on Save and Quit and this always worked until recently. Anythiing else I should look at?
Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner that can remove the session history?
Do you see a file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
Does it work if you use this?
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
OK, I fixed the problem. Don't know why it changed but it's no longer an issue. I went to Tools > Options > Privacy > Settings and unchecked Browsing History.
Thanks for the help.
