Tabs not re-open when starting firefox

I have read that I have to reset firefox and use safe mode. Tried everything but the problem remains the same.
I still cannot have my tabs from my last visit when I reopen Firefox with my Mac.

A possible cause on Mac is to close all open windows before closing the Firefox application with the menu bar.
Make sure that you close the Firefox application via "Firefox > Quit" while you still have the window with the tabs open if you want to reopen the tabs automatically the next time.<br />
You can also check "History > Recently Closed Windows".
* Use "Firefox > Quit Firefox" to close the Firefox application and the currently open tabs and windows if you want to reopen the current session the next time.
* Make sure that you use "Firefox > Quit Firefox" to close the window with the App Tabs and the Firefox application.
Otherwise the Firefox application is still running and you only closed a window.
*If you only close the window and not quit Firefox then use History > Recently Closed Windows.

  • Unwanted 2nd tab opens when start Firefox or go home on Firefox.

    recently a second tab opens when I start Firefox or when I click on the Home tab. I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. The second tab is a photo of Anne Paquin. I have never clicked on a file of her photo. how do i get rid of the photo. it is annoying.

    To set the '''Home page''' to your choice:
    '''Tools > Options > General''' see if you have two web pages for your home key.
    The easiest way to fix would be to bring up only the page that you want open as the only tab then
    # '''When Firefox starts''': Show my home page
    # '''Home page:''' (verify you have the correct page)
    # click on "Use Current Pages" button

  • "entry point not found" erro when starting firefox

    When trying to load Firefox from my desktop I get an error that says "Firefox.exe - Entry Point not Found". And also "The procedure entry point NS_SetDIIDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been using Firefox for a few years now and this just started happening.

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 13.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Why does "wecome to firefox"always open when starting firefox?

  • How to fix forgetting previously opened tabs when starting Firefox by clicking on a link in an external application?

    Hello, I have the option Startup: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" enabled. Works fine, except when Firefox starts when I click a link in an external application (typically Thunderbird). Then, the new link gets opened in a new tab, Firefox remembers the number of tabs I had opened when I last closed it, but all the "old" tabs are blank. Can I somehow fix this behavior?
    Disabling add-ons does not help. Clicking on a link in an external application when Firefox is already opened works OK. I have been using Firefox for quite a short time now (probably half a year) and this problem was always there (i.e. it is not due to a new update).
    Thank you.

    If Firefox is closed and an external link opens Firefox, you need to go to History > Recently Closed Tabs and open those tabs before closing Firefox. If you don't the "previous session" will be gone and only the one page that the external program opened will be the new "previous session".
    If that isn't satisfactory, you'll need to install a "session manager" type extension to remember more than "the last session" only.

  • When starting, Firefox opens an extra tab that is about Firefox. I am tired of it already!

    Firefox Start Page opens, along wiht my homepage, when I open a new window.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == WhenI started using Windows 7 on a new machine

    How many pages do you have set as your "homepage"? <br />
    Firefox allows for multiple homepages in separate tabs, separated by the pipe | symbol.
    Try resetting your homepage. <br />

  • Since the Version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble your windows and tabs" .

    Since the version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs" This has not occurred with previous versions. If I click on the box "restore" and close firefox the problem reoccurs if I click close I lose the bookmark sidebar. I am so sick and tired of these frequent and buggy updates (every one since 17.0 have caused norton 360 to stop detecting tracking cookies for several weeks and or broken the norton toolbar) that I will uninstall firefox and switch to another browser if this does not change.

  • IN my latest download, 30.0, whenever I open Firefox I get all the tabs I had open when I closed it. I would like only my home pages to open. I have gone to opt

    I have gone to 'options' many times to set it to always open with my home page, but it continues to open with the tabs I had open when I closed Firefox.I there a problem with Firefox 30.0?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software

    Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
