"Open previous windows and tabs" stopped working all of the sudden.

So all of the sudden Firefox stopped saving my previous session when I close the window (by clicking the x button on the window) It does save the previous session if I exit by going to Menu>>Exit (or Ctrl+Shift+Q) but I prefer to close it by clicking the X button on the window.

I did find out one way to fix it and that is by making a new profile but I lose all the bookmarks, settings, etc. if I do that...


My question is if there is a way to fix this without creating a new profile?

If not, can someone tell me what folder/file corresponds with:

  • Firefox settings
  • Firefox appearance settings like toolbar customization and similar (not sure if that one is stored in the same file as general settings)
  • Extensions and extensions settings

I want to move just those folders/files into a new profile, I'm too lazy to set up everything again...

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 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
