restore session in firefox [solved]

when i switch on my computer, kde loads the previous session - so far so good. but since firefox 2 (bon echo) instead of starting the tabs according to the preferences, it shows a warning: "restore old session or start new session". it seems that the normal shutdown procedure is seen as a crash in firefox.

does sombody know a way to switch off this warning? i haven't found anything, neither in about:config or on the net.

You have an option in edit->preferences, main tab :

"when Bon Echo starts", select "show my home page"
did you activate this option ?

Re: restore session in firefox [solved]

the problem was that i used an old 1.5.x user-directory for my ff 2.0 install. i copied the entire folder to save all bookmarks, preferences and plugins. which was obviously not a good idea
