I love Firefox. Mainly because it isn’t from Microsoft, but also because it is more secure that Internet Explorer, and has millions of cool plug-ins and skins so you can customize it. Your Firefox browser can be as individualized as you want it to be.
The one thing I can’t stand about it is it will not stop with the fricking “Session Restore” pop-up. I like the idea of it, but no matter how cleanly I close the program, after a while it will say that it wasn’t closed properly last time.
Do I want to restore the session? No… Not really I tell my computer, but like my two year old daughter, my computer doesn’t listen to me.
I found a way to stop it though. If you know a better, easier way us know in the comments:
1) In Firefox type about:config in the address bar and press enter.
2) You will get a list of stuff you’ve probably never seen before.
3) Find the string saying browser.sessionstore.enabled.
4) Right-click on it and select toggle. That changes the value from True to False.
5) Turning the value to False turns that annoying feature off.
Like I said, if you know a better way, please leave a comment in the comment section.

Firefox 2 comes with a built in Session Store feature that saves your session data including open windows and tabs, window size and position, and text typed in forms. Session data is stored in the “sessionstore.js” file, located in the profile folder. To disable this feature, go to About:Config right click and make a new boolien, name it browser.sessionstore.enabled and set it to false.

deeedeeeee: You don’t have to make the new boolean string, it is already built in. That is what the article talks about.
Thanks for the tip on the sessionstore.js file though =)
just what i was looking for el di pablo.
Click “Options” then “Main” tab.
Set “When FireFox starts:” to
“show a blank page”.
