Using 13.0.1 under Mac OS 10.6.8, Firefox does not seem to recognize the state of browser.sessionstore_restore_on_demand setting. Set as false, but still will not load tabs during restore until they are selected.

The correct name of the preference is "browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand". This exists by default and you can set this to false (though this is not recommended). Also reset the other one which you created.

It is best to handle this setting via the preferences.

  • Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: When Firefox Starts:
    • Show my windows and tabs from last time
    • Don’t load tabs until selected
