The restore previous session button is not working on Firefox on any of my three machines. How can I fix this?
I have a desktop at work, and a desktop and laptop at home and just recently the "restore previous session" button that comes up when I use the desktop icon to start a Firefox Web browser session does not work. It is there and I click it but nothing happens. I have Windows 7 on the two computers at home and thought that is what I had on this computer at work, but it may be Vista. It's not XP.

Had this trouble myself, just did some research and solved it!
Go to the Help menu, go to "Troubleshooting Information" On the new window, click "Open Containing folder" next to Profile Directory (This opens the folder on your PC where Mozilla stores some settings, like a tab history)
In the new Windows Explorer window, Find the file "chromeappsstore.sqlite"
You'll want to close Firefox and then delete that file (don't worry, Firefox will create a new one, and you won't even lose the open tabs)
Start Firefox again and the button should work!
(For completeness's sake, the profile folder for windows7 is: C:\Users\Tiberion\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\c6xu23fh.default\
where you replace Tiberion with your own username, and the random characters in the final folder will be different.)
Viola! All is well in the Firefox multiverse once again. Thank you so much. I don't know if I ever would have stumbled across this solution.
