Hi Gordon, by default, Firefox tries one automatic restore before giving up and showing that screen. You can set Firefox to try twice or three times and see whether that actually works. (If it doesn't work, perhaps there is a timing issue or deadlock and Firefox needs to complete various tasks or have an extra couple of seconds to do it.) (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk. ''More info on about:config:'' [[Configuration Editor for Firefox]]. ''The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.'' (2) In the search box in the page, type or paste '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' and pause while the list is filtered ''The default value is 1'' (3) Double-click the '''BLAHBLAH''' preference to display an editing field, and change the value to '''2''' then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.
