Browser.sessionstore.resume from crash

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 whether the last saved session is restored the first time the browser starts after a crash.

Possible values and their effects

True

Restore the previous session when the browser starts after a crash. (Default)

False

Do not restore the previous session.

Caveats

• browser.sessionstore.enabled must be true for this preference to have an effect.
