Working with Internet browsers often raises certain questions. For example, in certain circumstances, users want to restore the previous session. In this case, the browser will open pages that were closed the last time at the time of completion of the application for Internet surfing. Next, let's talk about how to perform recovery in Firefox.
Ways to solve the problem
How can I restore the previous session in the "Mozilla"? This question does not have a clear answer. It all depends on the personal preferences of the user.
At the moment, a person can restore previously closed tabs:
- through browser launch settings;
- using the "History" application;
- through the special option "Mozilla".
How to act? Below we will consider all these techniques, after which everyone will be able to choose the optimal solution for him.
Recovery Conditions
To restore the previous session is far from always possible. We will have to take into account several facts, without which none of the proposed methods will work.
The thing is that when working with the browser to return to the previous session, you must:
- Do not work in incognito mode;
- enable the option to save history in the browser.
That's all. If the user works in the "invisible" mode, there is no way to cope with the task. This is quite normal, because information about the last session in this situation is simply not saved.
Using History
You can try to restore the previous session in Mozilla using the browser history settings. What is it about?
To implement the task, the user will need to perform the following operations:
- Log in to your Internet browser.
- Go to the "Library" menu.
- Find the "History" section.
- View the last opened pages and click on them again.
This is not the best, but rather effective solution. When you start the Internet browser in the browser, the initial page set in the settings will crawl out.
Browser Options
But this is only one of the possible layouts. How to restore a previous session in Firefox?
The second and already more popular trick is a game with Internet browser settings. In this case, instead of the start page, when the browser starts, previously closed sites will open.
The instruction for the implementation of the task has the following form:
- Go to the Mozilla.
- Open the "Settings" section.
- Check the box next to "Show windows and tabs opened last time."
- Restart the web browser.
After confirming the actions, the user will save the settings. Now you can just close the browser at the right time. After restarting the Internet browser, it will automatically restore previously opened pages.
Quick activation button
You can restore a previous session in Mozilla Firefox differently. For example, by using the activation button of the corresponding option. This is a fairly simple operation, which is known to almost all modern users.
The algorithm of actions for carrying out the corresponding operation has approximately the following interpretation:
- Go to the Mozilla.
- In the upper right corner of the window that appears, click on the button responsible for opening the main menu of the application. Usually it shows a line or several points located one below the other.
- Hover over the line "Restore previous session ...".
- Click on the left mouse button at the moment when the cursor is on a suitable line.
At this stage, active actions can be completed. The browser will automatically open pages from the previous session. This operation works without any hassle.
Fastening
The last trick in real life is almost never found. How to restore the previous session?
You can try to pin previously opened pages in the browser. So the user can always start automatically several sites at once.
In the case of the last session, it is recommended to do this:
- Go to one or another page. We mean sites that you want to restore.
- Click RMB on the selected tabs. The operation is done with all pinned sites.
- Select the option "Lock ..." in the menu.
- That's all. After the done manipulations the user will be able to restore the previous session.
Important: this technique is better to use when restoring frequently used pages. For recent sessions, this method is not so good. Why? You’ll have to re-pin the browser tabs all the time.
Conclusion
Now it’s clear how one can return to the last pages opened in the Mozilla last time. What technique to use?
It all depends on personal preference. Typically, users choose between a quick restore button and browser settings. Docking tabs and working with browser history are not in great demand.
