HowTo Disable Session Restore in Firefox 2.0

Firefox 2.0 has a new feature called Session Restore; I find it annoying on my laptop as I’m always shutting down without closing Firefox correctly. Here’s how to disable it:

  1. Go to about:config
  2. Right click the list of items, go New -> Boolean
  3. preference name should be: browser.sessionstore.enabled
  4. value False

On more recent versions of Firefox 2, the preference is already included; just search for it and toggle it to false.
