Stopping Firefox’s restore session dialog

Thursday 6 December 2007 - Filed under Software

I’m sure that there are Firefox users out there who want to restore their previous session; I never do, and so deactivating that dialog is a big timesaver. If you search, you’ll find a few writeups on how to adjust the configuration, but I want to document the minimum steps to suppress the restore session dialog.

  1. Enter about:config into the URL field.
  2. Enter sessionstore into the displayed filter field and press Enter.
  3. Double-click the value cell of the browser.sessionstore.enabled row, so that the value field reads False.
  4. Restart Firefox. One click saved.

    Firefox (at least in FF3) has this as a preference:

    the main pref tab: “When Firefox starts”

    Just change to ‘blank’ instead of ‘last session’

    (maybe that’s new in FF3 though?)
