Background

Each time the web browser starts, this preference is consulted to determine what to display. It has superseded browser.sessionstore.resume_session as the preference determining whether saved sessions are restored.

Possible values and their effects

0

Start with a blank page (about:blank).

1

Start with the web page(s) defined as the home page(s). (Default)

2

Load the last visited page.

3

Resume the previous browser session (Firefox only, implemented after Firefox 2 beta 1)

UI

Firefox 2.0

“Show my home page,” Show a blank page,” and “Show my windows and tabs from last time” under “Tools → Options → Main → Startup → When Firefox starts” toggle between 1, 0, and 3, respectively.

Previous effects

For a short time (about ten days), the value of 3 caused the browser to start with the URL defined in browser.startup.splash.
