Add a 'Restore Session' feature PLEASE!

Safari still crashes every now and then when loading a flash app (in my case it was NBC's Online Player) while loading another page. It's terribly annoying when you have 10+ tabs open, and suddenly everything disappears. Not only does Safari beach ball for a few minutes after relaunch (athough that's gotten better now), but I have to go through my history and check everything I had open. It is VERY annoying.
Now, I don't get why Safari doesn't have a "Restore Session" feature? Firefox has had this for years and it's always been a godsend. I really don't get it.
And whatever happened to the new "flash apps now crash individually" feature?

This should help you out.

    I have the same problem- my Session Restore quit restoring my sessions all by itself one day. I have checked the Preferences setting, I have been to the link cor-el provided, I even found a place in the preferences settings for the Tab Mix Plus add-on where you can select Session Restore BUT IT IS STILL NOT WORKING!!!

  • How is the 'Restore Session' feature disabled entirely?

    Ive come to the end of my days using FF if this continues.
    Im sick and tired of the session restore feature trying to RESTORE a session that I closed out, sometimes by using the power button quickly...say because I crossed a site that I thought might be infested or something.
    Can it be DISABLED?
    If so, please tell me how and I appreciate the help.
    If not, Mozilla, this has cost you a user..and Im betting not just one.
    GET RID of this feature if it cant be disabled. I HATE it. It serves NO purpose other than to irritate users like me who have to shut down the brower or even the pc because some crack head put a virus on a site and we're trying to NOT get it...then when we reopen FF it just RESTORES the SESSION thereby OPENING the very site we DIDNT WANT to OPEN!
    Im fed up.
    If I cant disable this feature, Im done.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Close all tabs before closing the browser. If you do not clear the history then others can check that as well, so you may want to use [[Clear Recent History]].

  • How can I delete a corrupted old sessionstore file (it's affecting my restore session feature)?

    On 2/29/12, Windows reported that sessionstore-38.js was corruput and unreadable and requested I run CHKDSK. I run it but this file was not deleted. Also, it has resulted in my Firefox session restores to be "frozen" (same windows and tabs) to back on 2/29 when this bad file situation started on 2/29/12. I've even tried using new sessions but Firefox constantly reverts back to the old set of windows and tabs from 2/29 whenever the session drops. Help me please!!!

    Numbers in sessionstore file names can indicate that Firefox had a problem replacing your old session file with a new one.
    The quickest way to open your profile folder is
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Open Containing Folder" button
    Once the folder is open, you might need to close Firefox before proceeding.
    Please read the solution from cor-el in this thread before deleting any files: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/901885 session restore issues | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

  • The restore session has stopped working. It tries to load, but then gives an error message that the script is not working and will not actually show the previous tabs I had open.

    I count on using the Firefox restore session feature. But it's stopped working. For the past couple of days, it hasn't worked a single time. (I haven't changed anything on my PC.) It just suddenly stopped working.
    Now it gives me an error message that the script has stopped working. It gives me a couple of options. I'm not sure of the exact wording, but one option is to stop the script and the other is to keep trying. But the keep trying never works.
    I have to stop the script, hence, the list with my previous tabs never comes up.

    Which file is mentioned as the cause of that script error?<br />
    Is that a file with a chrome protocol?

  • How do i remove the restore session button/feature on start up

    I just installed FF4. there is a "Restore Previous Session" feature on my start up page. How do I get rid of this? There are other users on the PC and this presents security issues.
    I'm using Windows 7 on a laptop.

    Close all tabs before closing the browser. If you do not clear the history then others can check that as well, so you may want to use [[Clear Recent History]].

  • 5.0.1 Firefox, application froze then crashed. Restarted it, but no 'restore session' and i've lost all my tabs. Help please?!?!

    Can anyone help please?
    5.0.1 Firefox, application froze then crashed. Restarted it, but no 'restore session' and i've lost all my tabs. Help please?!?!
    Done config:restoresession, and nothing.

    There shouldn't be any numbered sessionstore-##.js in the Firefox Profile Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    The presence of such files usually indicates that that was a problem with accessing the main sessionstore.js file that prevented Firefox from renaming the temp file with the number.<br />
    In this case you may be lucky that the file with the highest number may have that session.<br />
    You can try to rename the file sessionstore-3.js to sessionstore.js to see if that brings back the lost tabs.
    If you use the Time Machine then you can try to restore a copy of sessionstore.js from around the time that you lost that session.

  • Is there a way to save a restored session (without opening it) to bookmarks?

    I kinda get carried way with opening tabs, like I'll have 50-200 open at any time. And you can imagine what it's like when Firefox crashes and you attempt to restore a crashed session - all the tabs reopen at the same time.
    Is there any way to save a crashed session's tabs/windows to bookmarks directly from the restore session list? This would be so useful... sometimes I just want to go to a couple places and then close Firefox, worrying about the crashed session later, and without having to open every single tab in it at once.

    It would be very practical if we could choose to save the crashed session as bookmarks into a date-stamped bookmark folder instead of restoring, and even an option to "copy to clipboard" just like "CopyAllurls" does (firefox add-on) - with title and urls, grouped by domain, for example. When a 200+ tabs session crashes, what we need is mostly to not loose track of what we worked with, but not strictly loading them all in one go at startup. Furthermore, whenever we really do load them all, then it would be smarter if Firefox loaded just a certain (configurable figure?) number of tabs, then waits for them to load, and fill in with the next tabs as the currently loading tabs finish. It should not attempt to load all 200+ simultaneously, as that creates other problems. Will look for any existing feature requests about this and chime in there. If anyone has a direct link to relevant feature requests, please post here. Thanks.

  • When the first version of the Restore Session tab was implemented in an update for Firefox?

    ''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/806369]''
    Essentially, I'm trying to find out how many sessions I can restore since, after the creation of this feature, I typically allowed the "Restore Session" Tab to remain in the window, allowing me to at least access the last few sessions later on when I'm much less busy. Unfortunately, I let it get a bit out of hand. Is there any way for me to find out how many sessions I have saved in this way by searching through files or folders affiliated with this browser? Even if the history clears about every 290 something days, are these sessions and the information they require stored in such a way that the clearing of history would not create a problem if I want to restore very old sessions that were left in this manner? (I recently changed it to allow all of my history to be saved, rather than just limiting the number of days, but I fear I might have taken this action too late. And I'm going to download a "Session Manager" add-on, to help me with this in the future, but, I'm still worried about these past sessions.) Any help or information would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    You can only manage multiple sessions with an extension like Session Manager (extends the build-in session restore) or Tab Mix Plus (has its own implementation of session restore, so can be less reliable if Firefox doesn't close properly). The basic build-in Firefox session restore only handles the previous session. Firefox 4 has a button on the about:home page and a menu entry (History > Restore Previous Session), but Firefox 3 doesn't have that feature. Session Restore stores a list of currently open tabs, so the amount of history that you keep shouldn't matter.

  • "Restore Session" in Firefox 2.x problem

    We are using custom authorization. All works fine...when user logout or close its browser, his session cannot be reused.
    Problem is with FF 2.02.
    If any instance of FF has been violate killed (from process explorer or PC has been rebooted), on first next start, FF is able to restore all sessions.
    The problem is that in our case, it can restore session on Apex 2.2 authenticated pages also!!
    Any help to ensure that this behavior cannot occur in a case of subnormal termination of Firefox browser?
    Apex 2.2.0.2 , Oracle 10.2.0.2
    P.S
    IE 6 or 7 is working OK!
    THX!

    Maybe you are right...but...
    <br>
    I tried the same test with my internet banking (cannot give you a link because it is secured with token), the same problem is somehow solved!
    <br>
    This mean that FF "restore session" cannot reuse previous session in any way. So it seems that this technology (it is not apex but some jsp version) can handle with this really big security issue.
    <br>
    Please understand that site like ours would like to secure our Internet clients who will make allocation, registratatio or even sell the stocks!
    <br>
    So could anyone help me to implement such a feature or point me to where to look for the solution.
    <br>
    THX
    <br>
    P.S.
    <br>
    Article (forum thread) is missing the point. With word you are not going to pay the bills or sell the stocks or do any manipulation with sensitive data through Internet!
    <br>
    <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash</b> is on client side and it is not the default option. So we cannot place that kind of security in any way.

  • Need to restore the feature of most visited sites shown upon opening a new tab

  • How to restore sessions after upgrade

    Just upgraded to FF 33. Previously I had two windows open. Upon restart only one opened, with all its tabs intact. I would like to recover the other window as well. "Restore session" is either grayed or missing on menu and start pages. Is there a way to recover the second window.

    Usually, the History menu will list closed windows you can restore below the grayed out Restore Previous Session. Anything listed?
    Before closing Firefox, please back up your session history files to a safe location for potential recovery/salvage operations.
    You can open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button.
    In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click into the '''sessionstore-backups''' folder. Save all files here to a safe location, such as your Documents folder. We may be able to use them to recover your lost tabs.
    The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore files are:
    * recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
    * recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
    * previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session
    * upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update
    You might also find files Firefox created if it could not update recovery.js (but since Firefox 33 is so new, I don't know what they would be named).
    Could you take a look at what you have and the date/time of the various files to see whether you think any of them would have the missing window?
    Note: By default, Windows hides the .js extension. To ensure that you are looking at the files I mentioned, you may want to turn off that feature. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

  • Restore Purchases feature Problem

    Hello,
    We've got the problem during apple approve process. The app is Multifolio with newsstand subscription.
    They said "We found that your app offers In-App Purchase(s) that can be restored but does not include a “Restore Purchases" feature to allow users to restore the previously purchased In-App Purchase(s), as specified in the “Restoring Purchase Products” section of the In-App Purchase Programming Guide"
    The app include subscription and it works. Even the start dialog to restore purchases presented.
    But there are no button on the right to restore purchases.
    Shared secret is ok.
    It is not the first our app. In previous apps this button presented from the beginning.
    We can't understand the reason. Please help

    And what has this to do with Adobe? If you're talking about e-pub or whatever, ask in the relevant forums.

  • Restore Session bug - fails after history is cleared

    This has happened occasionally in the past, but after the latest Firefox update it's happening almost every time. When I close the browser, I like to clear the history first. Also, before I clear the history, I open a new blank tab and close the old tab, just to make sure all history is cleared. Then, the next time I start the browser, I get that message about not being able to restore the session, the one that starts with "Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs."
    Same behavior as in this other thread, but I guess I'm supposed to start a new thread.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959257
    I didn't know there's a "clear history when Firefox closes" feature, I've just been doing it all manually.

    I haven't gotten the "Restore Session" error since I changed to using File > Exit instead of the X on the title bar, so I'll call this solved. I'd appreciate it if there's anything you could do to get the developers to look at this, though. This is a pretty vanilla use case and there's no reason for it to produce an error. It was working fine until the latest release.

  • Browser stuck on restore session

    I can't do anything on Firefox right now. Everytime I try and open the browser it goes to restore session, then nothing happens. My cursor becomes a waiting signal, and nothing changes. I have reinstalled and it just keeps going back to restore session. I can't do anything because I can't click anything. I have Mac 0sx 10.4 so I can't upgrade. please help I've had firefox for years and no problems, I don't want another browser.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
