Restart Firefox Without Saved Session Data

Problem

Tab Stash is not able to open or restore any tabs.

Explanation

Sometimes, Firefox's saved session data may get corrupted. When this happens, the extension APIs Tab Stash uses to control tabs in Firefox will stop working. It will appear as if Tab Stash has simply stopped responding to any requests to open or restore tabs.

Try This

1. You will have to restart your browser in a way that causes it to forget any open tabs you might have, so first save off any open tabs you have that you might want to keep (you can stash them to Tab Stash, save them to bookmarks, or whatever is most convenient for you).
2. Open the Firefox menu and choose "Options" (or "Preferences" on Mac).
3. In the "General" section, turn off the "Restore previous session" option.
4. Completely shut down/exit your browser (make sure ALL open Firefox windows are closed and the application is not running).
   • Mac: Press the Command+Q keyboard shortcut.
   • Windows: Open the Firefox menu and choose "Exit".
5. Restart Firefox.
6. Optionally, turn the "Restore previous session" option back on.
