I just want my tabs to load for the web link they were originally set for. Instead I am getting the last page visited or the tab has been logged out.

I have "Show My Home Page" for the Startup option I have LastPass set to AutoLogin I have the cookies for the tab sites in the Cookies Exceptions list

Despite all of this, the tabs are "logged out" when I restart Firefox, and sites that have no logins are not opened based on the web address the tab was origianlly set for.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Browsing History
  • do not clear the Cookies
  • do not clear the Site Preferences

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

Type about:config in the URL and filter

  • browser.stratup.homepage and change the value as the website you need to load.

or

Firefox Menu > Tools > options

  • General > Startup > When firefox starts " Show my Home Page"


Firefox Menu > Tools > options > Privacy > History

  • Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history":
  • Select: [x] Accept Cookies from sites
    • Accept third party cookies: "From Visited"
  • Keep until "They Expire"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"

Thank you cor-el! This is just what was needed to set the cookies to apply only to the tabs used and using the exceptions list.
