I have read that I have to reset firefox and use safe mode. Tried everything but the problem remains the same.

I still cannot have my tabs from my last visit when I reopen Firefox with my Mac.

Have you read this support article?
How do I restore my tabs from last time?

Time for a few questions.

  1. You're not clearing your browser history as Firefox closes, are you?
  2. Are you trying to do a manual Restore Previous Session, through the about:home homepage or through the History Menu?
  3. Or, are you using the option for Restore my windows a tabs from last time, under General > Startup -> When Firefox starts: ??

I read several articles and tried it but it didn't work, so I made another posting.

To answer your questions: 1. I am not clearing my browser history as Firefox closes. 2 & 3. I checked the restore my windows tabs from last time.

Please note that my computer is Mac.

Thank you.

A possible cause on Mac is to close all open windows before closing the Firefox application with the menu bar.

Make sure that you close the Firefox application via "Firefox > Quit" while you still have the window with the tabs open if you want to reopen the tabs automatically the next time.
You can also check "History > Recently Closed Windows".

  • Use "Firefox > Quit Firefox" to close the Firefox application and the currently open tabs and windows if you want to reopen the current session the next time.
  • Make sure that you use "Firefox > Quit Firefox" to close the window with the App Tabs and the Firefox application.

Otherwise the Firefox application is still running and you only closed a window.

  • If you only close the window and not quit Firefox then use History > Recently Closed Windows.
