Mozilla Firefox "Save & Quit" doesn't work
I was running the latest version of Firefox 3. Whenever I'd close it, it would ask me if I wanted to "Quit" or "Save & Quit" for saving my last previous tabs. And for some reason, it kept resetting back to a blank page. Well, this is wat I figured out:
The file that stores details of sessions may be corrupt. Close Firefox, go to your profile folder and delete sessionstore.js
If you have multiple sequentially numbered files sessionstore-##.js (sessionstore-1.js etc) then delete them all. See Multiple profile files created - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
Also make sure that session restore is enabled. Enter about:config into the location bar then accept the warning message if it appears, this will bring up a list of preferences.
The preference browser.sessionstore.enabled must be set to true
The preference browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash must be set to true
The preference browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo must be set to a positive integer, default value 10
If any of the above need to be changed double-click on them to change their values. Alternatively just right-click on them and choose Reset
