Configuring the option to "show my windows....." does not work no matter how I exit Firefox. I always get my home page when I reopen Firefox. The History menu item "Restore previous session" does work.

Windows 7, svc. pk. 1

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never Remember History).

  • Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
  • Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":

  • do not clear the Browsing History

Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
