Sessionstore.js

From MozillaZine Knowledge Base

sessionstore.js is a file in the profile folder. The file name is incorrectly capitalized in the title of this article due to technical limitations in the software which powers the Knowledge Base.

sessionstore.js contains information on stored sessions in Firefox 2 and above. This information is used to load the initial state of the browser after closing and/or crashes. This functionality can be modified in "Tools -> Options -> Main / Startup -> When Firefox Starts" for regular closes and in browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash for crashes and other unexpected closes.
