How do I start Firefox without restoring tabs?

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2442 / 2 Years ago, wed, august 3, 2022, 4:45:08

I usually close Firefox with the command:

killall firefox

Many websites and tabs accumulate over time. At the end of the day, many remain unprocessed and should not be processed the next day either.

So I want to close Firefox and start it again as empty as possible, but Firefox restores all tabs.

How could I prevent this?

Update

Using firefox 99.0

The tab recovery data is stored in the sessionstore-backups directory under your profile directory (example ~/.mozilla/firefox/..XYZ..x.default-release/sessionstore-backups/ ) . If you delete (or move to a different location in case you change your mind or something breaks) all the files in this directory there will be nothing to restore. You can for example make a wrapper script to clean-invoke firefox that wipes this directory first.
