Firefox Restore Last Session

Hi everybody, I set up Firefox to automatically restore last session and it does it for a couple of sessions then I have to keep pressing Restore Last Session.

Anything I can do to rectify this?

    Personally I think FF is crap after using it for years, now I've changed to another browser. But I believe if you start up another profile this cures some ills, otherwise reinstall it.

    Thanks. I've been using it for years after IE shudder shudder. Took me ages to pluck the courage up to switch.

    This has happened with FF on my Windows 10 trial laptop, but on no other machine I'm aware of (certainly none of my others on 7 and XP), I'm thinking it's more to do with W10 than FF...

    Start firefox without add-ons enabled, if it doesn't help upgrade FF or try reinstalling.

    If then it continues, then it's an issue with your computer. Try another browser like Opera or Chrome (dies for me after about 30 tabs).

    This used to happen to me many versions ago. I would have inception-like restore sessions. It was MAD!

    good info dcm, it's certainly a weird one, and like the W7 updates issue and the W10 wifi issue I bet there'll never be an "official" cause for it ;)
