  • 772

For privacy I want to disable this feature in Firefox, so that when I open Firefox it loads my homepage, not restore the previous session tabs. How can I do this?

    Following steps will be helpful to prevent firefox from restoring previous sessions.

    1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
    2. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    3. In the Search box at the top, type browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash.
    4. In the resulting grid, double-click on browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to set it to false.

    Thanks, Ankit

    This article describes the settings that are available in the General panel of the Firefox Options window.

    The General panel allows you to:

    • Set what page(s) Firefox displays when you start your browser or click the Home icon
    • Set what Firefox should do when downloading files

    Startup

    When Firefox starts: Controls what Firefox displays when you open it.

    • Show my home page - Displays the home page, which is set below.
    • Show a blank page - Displays a blank page, which is fastest to load.
    • Show my windows and tabs from last time - Restores the pages you were visiting the last time you closed Firefox. For more information, see Restore previous session Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows. ( <- Most likely your current setting )
