My abrowser used to reopen closed tabs/windows in the event of browser shutdown/restart. It no longer does this, even though it is set to do so. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Never mind. I fixed it myself.

The problem may have been a bug or undocumented config change.

I went to about:config and did a Boolean search for settings involving "session" (no quotation marks.)

Several results appeared and I changed this setting to "true"--

browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once

This fixed the issue. Tabs now reopen as before.

It appears that this abrowser default setting negated the user checkbox under Startup, "Open previous windows and tabs ."

In fact this box is now unchecked on my machine, but abrowser is now resuming sessions properly.

Thanks.
