Another session store/restoreproblem

Hi,

i have the newest firefox version for windows 10. After opening some website, my firefox froze. After reopening firefox, sessionrestore worked fine, but at the same time, firefox opened another window telling me it upgraded to the newest version. Somehow it now seems to think my actual window with all my open taps is the second window that isn't meant to be sessionstored. When trying to close it, it warns me for closing tabs which it only does in 2nd and 3rd windows, not the main one, but this is my only window after closing the one telling me of the upgrade. Also, the restore previous session button disappeared, so i conclude firefox indeed thinks this is a 2nd window and not the main one and thus will discard all tabs when i close it. Any clues? Thank you very much!

To avoid tab loss, you can exit Firefox using the menu. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Exit
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

But where is that other window hiding? Hmm... If you hover over Firefox's button on the Windows Taskbar, is it showing a second window there?


By the way, what setting do you have here on the Setting page:


Tip: If you ever get into a situation where you closed the "wrong" window, check the History menu. Either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • "Library" toolbar button > History > Recently Closed Windows
  • (menu bar) History > Recently Closed Windows

By default, Firefox retains the last 3 closed windows, but this is configurable if you want to remember more or fewer.

Thank you very much for the quick response * thumbsup * Long things short: In the meantime, i remembered there are "older" session store backups, like after the last update and so on. So i copied the session restore data files to a safe place and then just tried the close-and-restart in hopes i could manually make one of the older backup restore data files THE restore data to use. I guess you know the trick i'm referring to. It turned out firefox counted the window with all my open tabs as somewhat broken and thus automatically restored the last "valid" session - which is the same tabs when they were my main window :D I have so totally no idea what the hell happened there, but it ended up being fine. It just took a daring leap of fate. Thank you very much anyway!

Wait.

Now that's interesting. Now every time i close firefox, it warns me of closing tabs. If i close anyway, i get my tabs back when restarting firefox, but every time it takes a session restore to do so. Weird!

That could be normal --

Restore previous session - not checked warn you when quitting the browser - not checked Weird, i always thought at least the first one was on I restarted the Computer, and it stays the same: Warning of several tabs closed, and when i restart, i have to click on the session restore button after it says something about "automatic restore didn't work"

Maybe Firefox is not shutting down normally and is doing a crash recovery -- I think that's the only scenario where you get the screen offering selective recovery versus new session.

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar.

  • "3-bar" menu button -> Exit (Power button)
  • Windows: File -> Exit
  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox
  • Linux: File -> Quit
