Restore Session does not work anymore

glaliot

Since I updated to F29, Restore Session does not work. Neither after a crash, nor after a regular closing (and I've tried both the Close window and the Exit ways).

All I get on restart is an 'about:sessionrestore' tab, totally empty. I have naturally rechecked all my options after the update.

My bookmarks are still there, maybe Firefox is keeping a bookmarks F***UP for the next "update. So far my only lame solution has been to Bookmark all tabs regularly. But that is no answer, because when you then use the Open All in tabs to restore your window 1. you don't get the tab history, only the last page 2. and all tabs are reloaded! which chokes Firefox very fast.

That's my question for today. God knows what other horrors lie hidden in F29. I've naturally started migrating most of my work to Chrome, but Firefox still has a few good add-ons...

Could you check your profile for for any "extra" sessionstore files? Here's how:

Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
  • Help menu > Troubleshooting Information

In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button

Scroll down and look for sessionstore.js (which should have a very current timestamp) and sessionstore.bak (which should be dated as of your previous session). Do you find both of those?

Do you find any extra files, such as sessionstore-1.js or other numbered files? If so, that indicates that Firefox cannot write to the main sessionstore.js file because it is locked or corrupted, as your windows/tabs are being saved in a different file. Unfortunately, Firefox can't actually restore any of those files automatically. In this situation, I believe you need to remove the sessionstore.js file (probably after exiting out of Firefox) and rename the current numbered file to sessionstore.js.

You mentioned that you checked your settings, and it didn't sound as though you had any questions about them. But... could you post your customized session history settings? Here's how:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste sess and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Review the preferences starting with:

  • browser.sessionhistory.
  • browser.sessionstore.

If you see bolded entries, which indicates that they vary from the default setting, could you right-click > Copy and post in a reply to see whether they might be relevant to this problem?
