I updated to FF 5 yesterday and when I rebooted I am in Private Browsing mode. I did not enable it. In Options, it NOT enabled. Stop PV is grayed out. I deleted the session.js file. I do NOT want to use PV - I want my saved tabs to come back up when I restart FF. Is there a real fix for this in FF5, or can I go back to 3.6 or 4.1? If so, how? thank you so much

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Did yo check the command (target) line in the Firefox desktop shortcut to be sure that there isn't a -private switch appended?

That was a great suggestion. There WAS a -private switch on the shortcut. Can't imagine how it got there, but I removed it and restarted FF and I got my tabs back. Thanks so much for your help. -d-
