Can I clear cookies upon closing LibreWolf and then have it reopen previous tabs upon startup? As I understand it, activating the “Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed” option also triggers the “Clear history when LibreWolf closes” setting, preventing LibreWolf from restoring the previous session upon startup.
i do believe that tabs cannot reopen unless browsing history is preserved.
if you enable
Clear history when LibreWolf closes, but clickSettingsand uncheckBrowsing & download history(everything else should be ok), then it should clear cookies but keep history (whats in CTRL+H menu). i also have ‘Delete cookies and site data when LibreWolf is closed’ enabled.it is confusing how the options are layed out…
Now I understand. Thank you.
I use an extension to delete history after a week.
Why is Session Restore not working? Session restore will not work unless you preserve your browsing history. However, LibreWolf deletes history on shutdown by default. If you want to use session restore, set your browser to not delete history, via settings or overrides.

Here are my settings:
