I've been using and enjoying Firefox for years on my various Windows machines. I've just purchased a Ubuntu Linux Thinkpad and have installed and used Firefox for a few days. It's generally working well except at start-up. Apparently it tries but can't restore the previous session, even though I have not selected "Open previous windows and tabs" ??

I am using lastest version on Windows and Linux (133.0) but I did notice the settings/options are a bit different in Linux, but I would just like to set my Linux FF to do same as Windows FF on startup, that is just two open tabs: - Gmail opened as a pinned tab. - Google Search as the open tab with focus I've attached a snip of the relevant section in General Settings How do I set this up in Linux? Thanks in advance

This was resolved after I hit "Restore Session" (the opposite of what I intended) and then next time FF started it was correct: 1 pinned tab + 1 default page

Not sure what happend or why, but it is resolved now.

Check the option to open previous session. Firefox sometimes goes boom when restoring the previous session. Here are a few help links. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1449521 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440459#answer-1637875
