How do I activate the non-functioning Restore Previous Session button on my default home page?
Till a few days back the Restore Previous Session button on my Default Home Page was functional. For some reason, it no longer responds when clicked upon after the home page opens. Therefore, I no longer have access to my previous session through this button. What action should I take to activate the "Restore Previous Session" button?

You are now on Firefox 8 as of yesterday or today, so that is something that may have affected the page.
I don't use the default Home page, so am not reliant on something not working there. The restore previous session would only appear there if you have a previous session to restore to, and your session was terminated abruptly.
Restoring tabs from a lost session (#tabslost) is now done (Firefox 4 and up) after restarting through the History menu with “Restore previous session”. Also available from the default homepage ("about:home") . (HELP article)
For those that prefer the old way see #tabslost in
The advantage is that you can have both. You can make the decision to restart with your current tabs when exiting Firefox so you don't have to remember next time -- even if only 1 minute later, it would be easily forgotten. The beauty is that even if you don't do that and realize after starting Firefox you want your previous session you can still do that through the History menu. Follow the steps in the link so your can get the notification when ending Firefox (the old way).
pushiharsh, i just had this problem, too. however, i was able to restore all my previous tabs from my last session after using the back button (i had just done a google search for some answers; that's how i got to your post), returning to my home page, then clicking on the Restore Previous Session button again.
it seems that every once in a while, after updating, some similar quirk happens with firefox.
