Liebes Mozilla-Team, ich schreibe auf Deutsch, da Muttersprache. In case of misunderstanding please contact me. Bis vor wenigen Monaten erschien automatisch bei Firefox-Start der Hinweis "letzte Sitzung wiederherstellen" mit allen zuletzt geöffneten Seiten. Das hab ich nun nicht mehr. Das Help-Tool ist leider unzureichend. Erstens scheint dieser Button https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/sitzungswiederherstellung#w_wenn-sie-azvorherige-sitzung-wiederherstellenay-aus-dem-firefox-menak-wachlen in meiner Menüleiste nicht auf. Zudem habe ich bereits in meinen Einstellungen schrittweise nach Hilfetool alles korrekt vorgenommen. Hat es etwas mit anderen Einstellungen zu tun? Wo ich versehentlich etwas angehakt habe und es deshalb die Wiederherstellung sperrt? Bitte um Hilfe. DANKE.

From what I can understand from your message, you are having problems with the Session Restore, yes?

You may have corrupt sessionstore [v56] sessionstore.jsonlz4 file(s). Delete all sessionstore* files and the sessionstore-backups folder.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.


Don't delete the files if you need to rescue any data from them, just move them out of the profile folder to some location where Firefox doesn't look for them. You can try to read out their contents using this tool: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/scrounger.html

Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 29.0 r0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html Uninstall Flash Player | Windows

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version 29.0.0.113

I have the same (similar) problem, and the solution above did not help. The sessionstore doesn't seem to be corrupted, as long as I close firefox manually the session is restored when I open firefox the next time. But if firefox crashed there is no stored session available. Happens with uptodate firefox running with windows7 and windows 10. First I thought that the addon "Tree Tabs" might be causing this, but deactivating this addon doesn't change anything.

@eddie7

Safest is to use "Restore Previous Session" as the startup setting to prevent losing session data when a crash occurs.

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Startup

Ok, I'll ask a new question. I thought it's easier to add my question here because of the similarity.

@cor-el: this option is already activated but does not work in case of a crash.
