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
