firefox restore previous session not working
Hi.
When I click on Restore Previous Session in the History menu, the tabs from the previous session load, but when I click on the tab to go to it, the page changes to my homepage. It's so quick I don't get a chance to do anything!
I'm running Win7 and FF is up to date. Only extension I'm using is Classic Theme restorer
Any help much appreciated.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I would temporarily disable that addon.
Then go to about:sessionrestore in a new tab.
Does that show anything?
Hi guigs.
tried disabling addon but no luck: tabs of previous session load, but change to homepage when clicked on. Weird.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons. Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Disable a few add-ons, then Restart Firefox.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All Of them.
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue. Re-enable the last group ONE AT A TIME (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
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
