User Reviews

This has worked fine for years, but no longer. First, the instructions are outdated. In "Settings", not Options. The setting for "Show your windows and tabs from last time." is not there. There is an "Open previous windows and tabs" in the General Section, but selecting that and doing the about:config, just don't work any more. Hopefully, either Mozilla will see the error of their ways, or this will get updated to work.
