Is there a way to disable the "Restart to Keep Using Firefox" page? (lemmy.ml)

I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

I've never had any issues with tabs not restoring (I have 6729 tabs currently open, on the newest FF release, updated many times). What do you mean by "never completely capable of restoring my tabs"?

I'm guessing they mean that state on the page is lost. Because that absolutely happens. I've never lost a tab and I usually have dozens if not hundreds of tabs open.

How do you tab through so many tabs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

With the little upside down arrow thing, you can search through open tabs. No need to scroll through them. I think that answers what you were asking.

Thanks for answering How, now the real question is Why.

I may have misworded it a bit. The tabs themselves get restored, but the state of the tabs (being logged in to a site, for example) isn't always retained. In all fairness this is perhaps due to my privacy settings, but I'd prefer it if Firefox didn't force me to restart.

oh yeah, that happens to me too sometimes. Weirdly, it only seems to happen to some sites, while others always keep me logged in.
