How do we restart the browser without closing every tab that we are open? It must have happened to us, when the browser we are using suddenly crashes or requires a restart because we just updated an existing add-on or plugin. What is certain is that this is quite annoying, if we are opening several important sites simultaneously. Usually we will make a choice between; restart the browser and sacrifice every open tab, or keep using the browser but without any working add-ons or plugins.
If you are using the Mozilla Firefox web browser, this trick might be very useful for you. Often Firefox takes up a lot of system resources / Amount of RAM and starts running very slowly and takes a lot of time in opening new tabs. Besides being slow, Firefox sometimes doesn’t respond. The thing we do most often is restart.
So often we fix problems and performance issues by restarting Firefox but what if we have been running multiple tabs in Firefox? if we have opened multiple tabs in Firefox and we close and relaunch Firefox, we will lose all the tabs that have been opened and we have to reopen them one by one from history. It’s a little troublesome.
Now for Firefox users, if you want to restart the browser without closing the tab that is currently open, it’s actually quite easy because Firefox provides these options directly from their browser.
Here we summarize the short steps.
