Pale Moon won't start showing previous session tabs

Unread post by xenarulz » 2020-06-02, 19:02

Today I started Pale Moon and it stalled (white page and 'wait' icon rotating endlessly) so I closed and restarted it. But when it restarted, it started from the Pale Moon homepage, not -as I had always set my preferences for- from the previous session tabs.
No problem. I had has this glitch in the past and always solved it by renaming a sessionstore.bak or whatever into sessionstore.js and restarting.
Only, this time it doesn't work, even if the backup holds inside all the tabs I want (I checked it on https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html ). I also tried to open 2-3 tabs and then close the program, and when it restarts it's always with the pale moon default and not the tabs.
The preferences are correctly set to 'open with old session tabs'.
What could it be? What could I do?
Thanks!!

Instead of relying on tab session use bookmarks and use fresh sessions.
It's the most reliable method in the long run.

[SOLVED] Pale Moon won't start showing previous session tabs

This morning it opened asking me if I wanted to restore the previous tabs, I said yes and it did.
I dunno why yesterday it didn't even see them, but anyway it fixed itself :D
