Hi all,

When I open Firefox after closing it (most frequently by closing Firefox windows or by shutdown Ubuntu directly), although it is set to always restore my open tabs, it opens "Session Restore" page at each start. The consequence is that I've now nested "Session Restore" tabs that I'd to open in each restored session, say... at least 5 times!

I'm on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04), Firefox version 60.0.1. My PC is a kind of efficient one (Core i7, 16GB RAM, SSD...) and opens dozens of tabs without problems, so I want to always keep them.

How to make Firefox open automatically all my tabs without boring "Session Restore" tabs anymore, even if Firefox thinks it has crashed?

Thanks in advance

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
