Background
Firefox 2.0 introduces a built-in Session Restore feature, allowing the user to continue browsing from where they left off if browser restarts. This preference controls when to store extra information about a session: contents of forms, scrollbar positions, cookies, and POST data.
Possible values and their effects
0
Store extra session data for any site.
1
Store extra session data for unencrypted (non-HTTPS) sites only. (Default)
2
Never store extra session data.
Recommended settings
Leaving this preference set to 1 will avoid re-submitting data to secure sites — such as banks and online stores — and prevents duplicate transactions from taking place. Use caution when setting this preference to 0.
