When Firefox starts does not show last session
I am running Firefox 38.0.1 the latest version and my tabs from last session do not appear, but goto a blank page. I have tired to change the setting in 'about:preferences' and 'about:config' but neither of them I can get them to work!
In 'about:preferences' the setting, keeps reseting itself to 'show my homepage' although in 'about:config' under 'browser.startup.page it is still shown a '3'
Can anybody in this community shed some light onto this technical glitch?

Hello!
Please take a look at this link:

Let me know if it helps!
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes".
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
