Don't load tabs until selected option makes firefox sometimes forget the correct address of a tab.

Observed on the steam marketplace (on activation some older tabs will load an item instead of what used to be a search query listing multiple items, page url changed and no back button available).
For example:
The tab url was
http://steamcommunity.com/market/search?q=RPG+Maker+card
Browser was then closed.
Sometimes when I come back to that tab in another session the url changes to one of the listings inside (a page that was visited) with no way of going back to the old url.
In this example
steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/220700-No%20Transparency?filter=RPG%20Maker%20card
Also note the %20 instead of spaces.
This happens to about 50% of my tabs. (I have over 50 open)
I do not know if this applies to other website, but I would assume it would.
Is this a known issue?

Hi Ansive, in version 27 this is not a known issue yet. In order to reproduce the issue, can you reproduce this in a new profile without the add ons enabled?
If so, we could use the help please file a bug with this important information:
# short description
# numbered steps to reproduce
# what is expected and what actually happens
If you have any questions about this, or would like one of us to help out with the bug please post back with the bug number and one of us would be happy to further investigate when it started to happen.

  • "Don't load tabs until selected" option no longer there?

    I have installed a new version of Firefox (long overdue) from version 17 to 31. I was able to customize everything to my liking after some fiddling around but one setting remains that I cannot rectify. Firefox's options menu no longer seems to include the "Don't load tabs until selected" checkbox as can be seen in this screenshot
    (https://i.stack.imgur.com/JWAXX.png)
    on the SuperUser forum in this thread:
    (https://superuser.com/questions/433096/how-do-i-make-firefox-13-load-all-my-tabs-on-startup-or-when-resuming-reload)
    This wouldn't be a problem for me if the option was off by default, but it seems to be on. I have tried to find the correct technical setting for this in the about:config menu as per suggestion of one of the threads on the Firefox Support forum.
    (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/987254?esab=a&as=aaq)
    Unfortunately, "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" - which I have set to "true" - does not seem to work, even after restarting Firefox, nor does "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground".
    Please help! I will be very, very grateful if all my tabs load immediately and at the same time again upon opening my browser; a practice many users over the years seem to disagree with.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • "Don't load tabs until selected" ... Where is the setting so that it affects the tabs when I click "Open all in tabs" from History?

    I am trying to reload all the tabs from history, it's a couple thousand. I am not concerned about system RAM I have 16GB. I know it will be slow, I'm not looking for any warnings or questions about why I have to reload that many tabs or how to work with the restore.bak sessionstore files.
    The question I need an answer to is, "What setting do I need to change so that when I reload multiple tabs, it doesn't say "connecting" on all of them even though I have already selected "Don't load tabs until selected"

    I think we both understand what you want. And we're both saying we are not aware of any built-in way to do this.

  • Don't load tabs until selected and then load with refresh (or skip cache) [Firefox 19]

    Hi there,
    I use Firefox 19 with the option "Don't load tabs until selected" (in Options/Tabs). It's a neat option but when the tab reloads, it doesn't refresh the page but just reloads it at the state when the browser last closed.
    With Firefox 3.6, the addon Bar Tab provides the same option (because it was not an in-built option in FF yet) but reloads the page with a refresh so it is up-to-date.
    How can I achieve this in Firefox 19, reloading with a true refresh or by automatically skipping the cache?
    Thanks for the help.

    That is how it is implemented in current Firefox versions.<br />
    With this setting only the memory cache will be used.

  • Is there a way to completely disable tabs (removing all tab related menu options) for firefox 10?

    Is there a way to completely disable tabs (removing all tab related menu options) for firefox 10. I hate tabs and recent changes to the menus make incorrect selection of 'open in new tab' when what I want is 'open in new window' a common and unwelcome occurrence.

    You can hide menu items and move them up / down in the menu with the Menu Editor extension. <br />

  • How do I make Firefox default to home page when open new Tab?

    When I open a new tab/window its blank. I have Firefox open to my home page Google, and I want the new tab/window to default open to that if I haven't chosen a web site to go to in the new Tab/window.
    Is there a way to make Firefox default to the Google page when I open a new Tab/window and dont specify a web site to open to ?
    I am using XP PRO x64 with firefox 4.0 and everything else works fine... my default home page is the Google search page.

    Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    After install and re-starting Firefox, go to Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL, set the options and/or enter the URL you want when you open a new tab, click Save.

    Does not relate to your question, but...
    You have multiple old Java Console extensions that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, '''''but you can not remove them from there'''''. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can '''''manually''''' remove them, '''''if you do not do Java development work''''' to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

  • When firefox failed to show a webpage, it will show a button "try again" for me to click. Can I make firefox auto-click the button or auto-retry until the webpage shows?

    When firefox failed to show a webpage, it will show a button "try again" for me to click. Can I make firefox auto-click the button or auto-retry until the webpage shows? And, it's reversible when I untick something in the tools/edit options. It's frustrating when I'm opening a few browsers and all of them fails at the same time that I've to click "try again" for every browser. Thanks.

  • I'm not receiving emails from 2 specific domains to my .mac email. Both have the correct address and I don't have any rules set up. Anyone know why this is happening?

    I'm not receiving emails from 2 places. I don't have rules set up and both senders have the correct address. The messages aren't in my junk folder either. This is for my.mac account. Anyone know how to fix?

    That just sounds like the mail headers. Most people don't know (or care) about them so they're usually hidden.
    Check Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Show header detail
    I'm guessing it's set to 'All'. Switch it to 'Default' or None as you prefer.

  • Select Option's Context Element for the REPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGE

    Hi,
    We're on 7.0 ehp1.
    I found a thread on same subject u201Cwdr:select_options and highlight Error Message with a Link to Inputfield u201C, Jul-23-2008, in which Thomas Jung gave an explanation of how to get the context element of the Select Options on a view.
    I tried to follow it, but Iu2019m still not getting it.  Please show how to get the context element of a Select Option for the u201CREPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGEu201D .
       wd_comp_controller->go_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message(
             exporting
              message_text   = ls_messaga_text
                  element        = ?????
               attribute_name = ls_option_id
    Thomas' explanation:
    I gave you the code that gets you to the interface controller. From there you call the GET_API to get the component controller. After you have the component controller it is normal context coding to read the context of the Select-Options context. Run the debugger and use the Web Dynpro view to see what your context looks like at runtime. When I test this with one of my applications, the names of the context nodes that were dynamically generated was really straight forward - as it uses the names of the select-option itself. Nothing special once you reach this point - just normal context coding...."
    Kind regards,
    Huntr

    Hi ,
    Use the below approach to achieve this,
    data:
        lr_context_node       type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lr_element            type ref to if_wd_context_element,
        message_text          type string.
      get the node and leadSelection of that field
        lr_context_node = get_node_of_sel_field( <field>-m_id ).
        lr_element = lr_context_node->get_lead_selection( ).
    case <field>-m_type.
    For Select option field
                when if_wd_select_options=>mc_sscreen_item_type_field.
                  m_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message(
                    element        = lr_element
                    attribute_name = 'LOW'
                    message_text   = message_text ).

  • When opening a new tab, how do I make firefox automatically switch to it?

    Pressing Control+T or the "+" button next to tabs will open the new tab. However, I want the new tab to be automatically selected when it is generated.
    Right clicking links and Opening in new tab works fine.

    For me, it was caused by the Fox Tab add on. I disable it and the 'problem' goes away, enable it and it's back..
    I guess Fox Tab (1.4.2b) is not (fully) compatible with Firefox 5 yet.

  • Is there any way to make Firefox 4 display the web sites originally pinned in each tab upon restart of Firefox instead of the last web site viewed before ending Firefox?

    After pinning a particular web site in each tab that I want to use in Firefox 4, the tabs work as expected for the initial session. However, after ending and later restarting Firefox 4, each tab starts with whatever page was displayed upon the previous close of Firefox. Upon restarting, I would like for Firefox to display the original pinned web page. Any suggestions?

    You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)

  • How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

    Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
    My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

    Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
