If I logout with Firefox still running, next time I log in and restart
Firefox, it opens all the old tabs and windows from the old session,
despite being set to always start with a blank page. I have even removed
the old .mozilla directory and the behaviour is the same. Is this a
known issue? Is there a fix?
Hi
It’s a restore feature on by default. If you open a browser window and
type about:config and search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
and double click the entry to change from true to false.

Thanks. I’m in openSuse 11.0, with I think a 3.5 flavour of KDE. I have
found Control Centre -> Session Manager -> On login with the self same
choice, but this does not address the issue. The problem is not that
Firefox starts up when I login [it doesn’t until I tell it] it is what
it does when it starts again.

Got it! Thanks, that looks like it will do the trick! I’ve been
thinking for ages that firefox is awfully short of options.

OK, I have this set to false, firefox set to show my homepage
[about:blank] when it starts up, and still it opens up all the old tabss
after logging out with the firefoc session open ???

Neither, I don’t get the option when I logout with Firefox still
running - nor if I quit normally.
