Firefox/LibreWolf doesn't restore the newly saved previous tabs on close and open; it restores an earlier version of the tabs

So when I close and open my firefox/librewolf, the tabs restore is the tabs about 2minutes ago

Any fixes?

I just closed this and reopened it, so i have not this problem.

Something to try based on DeepSeek AI answer:

  1. Adjust Session Save Frequency Firefox saves sessions periodically. Increase the save frequency to capture recent changes:
  • Type about:config in the address bar and accept the risk.
  • Search for browser.sessionstore.interval.
  • Change the value from 15000 (15 seconds) to 5000 (5 seconds).
  1. Ensure Session Restore is Enabled Verify these settings in about:config:
  • browser.startup.page → Set to 3 (restores last session).
  • browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash → Set to true.
  • browser.sessionstore.privacy_level → Set to 0 (stores all data; privacy-focused builds like LibreWolf may default to 2, which blocks session storage).
  1. Disable Conflicting Extensions Privacy/security add-ons (e.g., Cookie AutoDelete, uBlock Origin in hard mode) might block session storage. Test in Safe Mode:
  • Go to Menu → Help → Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
  • If sessions restore correctly, an extension is causing the issue.
  1. Check LibreWolf’s Privacy Settings LibreWolf tweaks Firefox for privacy, which can interfere with session restore:
  • Go to Settings → Privacy & Security.
  • Ensure Clear history when Firefox closes is unchecked.
  • Under Permissions, ensure Allow websites to save cookies and site data is enabled.
