IE 9 open last session?

Post by thewolfe »

I'd like to reopen the tabs that I opened on my last session in IE9 without doing anything except opening the browser like you can do in Firefox. I know I can right-click and open last session but I'd like it to just happen when I startup IE9. Is there a setting I'm missing or is this just another reason I use Firefox?

I know CHROME does it when you open. Never heard about IE being able to.

I don’t know of any, but there could be a command line switch. It's worth a look.

The closest I've seen is in the new tab page of IE9; there's a link at the bottom that says "Reopen last session".

Note it doesn't work as well as it does in Firefox; if you had multiple windows it's not always easy to get them all to reopen. Firefox pretty much preserves everything across reboots without a hitch.

FF does it right on the reopen thing. I've got my computer to automatically shutdown at 9PM so whatever I'm working with pops up the next morning.

I'd switch her to FF but she is not open to change.

Use sleep mode instead of shutdown.
