I want Firefox to open a new session each time I use it rather than to try to recover my previous one; how do I go about this?

What more details do you need? I want to open a new session when I use your product rather than have the product go through the slow tedious process of trying to recreate the previous session.

Please see this support article on [[Session Restore]]. Follow the instructions under the "Configuring session restore" header. When you get to the step where it says "Show my windows and tabs from last time" you can choose from showing your homepage or showing a blank page instead.

  • I can't get Firefox to open a new tab each time I click on a link or favorite. It keeps loading onto the current tab.

    I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites. It used to way back in earlier versions of Firefox but hasn't for the past few iterations...am I doing something wrong or do I need to activate something else within Firefox?

    '''''"I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites."'''''
    That option only controls pages that would open in a new window based on the code on the website page you are visiting.
    Firefox's default is to open a link or a Bookmark in the currently selected tab.
    You have some options to have links and/or Bookmarks open in a new tab:
    *middle-click the link or Bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
    *CTRL+left-click the link or Bookmark
    *right-click the link or Bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab"
    *install one of the following and set the options to automatically open links or Bookmarks in a new tab:

    The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

    Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

    Set the Integer 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.

  • When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

    This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

    There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • Saving opens a new window each time?

    Hi All.
    Quick question- when I hit Ctrl+S in speedgrade (windows) It prompts me to set a location and I have to overwrite my previous save each time, similar as to if I was continually hitting 'save as' instead of 'save'. Is this intended functionality? I suspect I have the workflow wrong, could someone please shed some light on the correct saving procedure in Speedgrade?
    Cheers

  • Why does Firefox 5 open external (internet, SMTP) e-mail in the browser rather than the Lotus Notes Client?

    Using Lotus Notes as the system's primary mail client, '''some''' users experience external mail being opened in the browser rather than the the client. When they revert back to using an older version as the OS default browser, or indeed a different browser altogether, this does not happen.
    Again, this does not happen with all installations of 5.0 - just a few.

    go to "preferences" in Lotus Notes and enable "disable embodded browser for MIME mail" and it shoudn't open the browser anymore

  • Firefox hangs and I end, i start again, firefox asks, restore or new session, both go nowhere or firefox does not respond..help?

    Firefox hung up..I had facebook open in one tab and searched around the web in another. I tried to load USAtoday site and it hung up. I used task manager to end firefox. I started firefox again, window comes up, it ask if i want to restore or start new session..i have clicked both and it goes nowhere..have to end..downloaded firefox again..same result..

    If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
    If Safe Mode does, work, a possible culprit might be '''AFI News Headquarters Toolbar'''. Try disabling that without Safe Mode and see if the problem reoccurs.

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

    Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

    Hello,
    In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.tabs.loadInBackground''' change its value to '''false'''.
    If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.link.open_newwindow''' change its value to '''3'''.

  • Function Module to open a new session displaying a method of a class

    Hello All,
    I have a method A of class B.
    Now, in my current session, I have a button. When the user clicks on this button, what I expect is that a new session be opened and in the new session method A of class B be displayed.
    This is similar to the debugger, wherein, in the debugging mode, we can bring up the context menu in the Source Code (Edit Control) tool, and then select "Go To Source Code".
    So basically, I am looking for a Function Module which does the same.
    I came across Function Module CC_CALL_TRANSACTION_NEW_TASK, however, this will only create a new session.
    I could specify the transaction as SE24, but it then opens a new session with this transaction. That is it.
    My objective is to display the method of a class in a new session.
    Is there any Function Module in this case?
    Regards,
    Mithun

    Hello Sandra,
    Thank you very much. That was exactly what I was looking for.
    However, instead of calling EDITOR_PROGRAM directly, what I instea did was the following:
    1) Created a RFC enabled Function module.
    2) Inside this function module, I wrote the following code:
      SUBMIT tpda_editor_start AND RETURN
       WITH prgm  = is_alert_det-program_name
       WITH incl = is_alert_det-include_name
       WITH dynp = space
       WITH line = is_alert_det-line_no.
    The parameters above were similar to the one proposed by you.
    Borrowed the above from the class CL_TPDA_SERVICES_TOOLS, method NAVIGATE_TO_SOURCE.
    The above is basically called in the debugger, when we use the context menu in the editor tool and invoke the "Goto Source Code" functionality. This eventually calls the EDITOR_PROGRAM FM.
    The reason why I did this is because when I was testing the FM, it did not allow me to specify the include as CL_TEST=====CM01. I do not know why, probably I was doing it wrong. But it gave me a message saying that the object does not exist in table TADIR.
    Anyway, I did the above steps and it worked exactly as I wanted it to.
    I would like to thank you again.
    Best Regards,
    Mithun
    P.S. Forgot to add, I called the above RFC enabled FM as a new task.
