After closing Firefox - starting again does not offer a Restore Session option. Tools/Options lacks any choice for startup options. How do I remedy this problem.

Hi mcyr1313,

Have you looked in History > Restore Previous session?

You can also set your home page to about:home. This default Firefox page will give you the option to restore your previous session and offers a minimalist search experience.

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks, History > Restore Previous session solved the problem. Is there a way to find these changes with new versions? The Help did not help.

The Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting should still be there.

Can you attach a screenshot of the Tools > Options > General window?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
