Worse, extensions like FreshStart don’t always recover your previous browsing state–in fact, I’ve had very poor luck with FreshStart displaying empty sessions or not remembering all of my open windows! So what do you do?īefore you think “Crap, I just lost 200 tabs” and close Chrome again, don’t. Unfortunately, there’s one glaring shortcoming with Chrome’s UI that drives me nuts: If you have dozens of tabs spread out across two or three Windows, you can recover your last session from Chrome’s default empty tab UI if and only if you haven’t recently closed enough new tabs that would otherwise overwrite your session history. I still use Firefox regularly, but my tab addiction doesn’t seem to play nicely anymore with any browser I use. I’ve been using Chrome for quite some time because it’s markedly faster than Firefox. There is a possibility that this fix works only in the circumstance that you do. I should also mention that this solution may or may not work for those of you who do not have Chrome configured to reopen your last session.
Furthermore, the solution offered here 1) presumes that your typical use case includes having more than one browser window open with multiple tabs each and 2) is intended to recover your last session after you have inadvertently clobbered it, either by opening only one (1) window from your previous session–and then promptly closing it–or by closing so many tabs that Chrome’s new tab session selection no longer shows your previous windows.
The crux of this post doesn’t address what I have highlighted here instead, it assumes that your browser is already resuming the last open session.
Fortunately, that’s easy! Simply click on Configure (that’s the wrench icon in the upper right), then click on “options” and make certain that “reopen the pages that were open last” is selected under on startup in the “basics” configuration category. It occurred to me that it is possible some of you may be reading this post in the hopes of discovering how to configure Chrome to automatically resume your previous session.
