When i close my "main" Firefox window and after that the opened popups, this breaks my "restore previous session" setting.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Use one of these to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox Title bar to avoid losing important windows because only the last closed window is restored.

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

Firefox can restore by default three closed windows, so you can check "History -> Recently Closed Tabs/Windows".

  • about:config => browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo
