After quitting a "private browsing" session, and I quit togo back to previously open tabs/pinned sites, 40% of the time, the Browser does not restore all previously open tabs/pinned apps/sites

Using HP Pavilion Dv7 with Windows Home Premium, 64bit, and only now and then will FF4.0.1 restore previous (normal) session after returning from a private browsing session, )I use the Quit Private Browsing menu item from the Toolbar right-click menu to go back).... In addition, previously Pinned sites (apps) are lost also, and all must be re-added.
Inconsistent failure and I've not been able to reliably reproduce-- sometimes (about 4-6 times in 10) it just loses all previous information.

I would add that bookmarks may be organised into folders and subfolders. You may wish to make more use of bookmarks if only to ensure you do not loose everything if your session restore becomes problematic.
Bookmarks are a bit more robust than the session restore system. Firefox backs them up automatically and you may do so manually. Possibly Firefox will behave better and faster with hundreds of bookmarks but only tens of tabs open. There is also the tabs groups, but that is something I think development has ceased on and may have similar issues to session restore / or open tabs.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

  • Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen turn solid blue. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Help please!

    Sometimes when I quit Firefox, it makes my Mac screen display solid blue color. The computer does not crash, but I can't see anything. Opening programs, nor hitting any shortkey makes the display work again, so I have to shut down.
    I am using Macbook pro, OS 10.6.8, 4 GB memory, 2 ghz intel processors i7. This has happened about 6 times in the last 3 months. Seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes happens after using Netflix streaming video, sometimes after browsing sites that don't play video. I frequently use Pandora, but have Firefox set to dump cache, memory, etc. after each use.

    Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
    If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage.  If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

    Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

    Hello,
    I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
    Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Uninstall the application does not delete all new files and folders.

    If the user decides to uninstall my Air app, it does not delete the created folders with files in AppData. Another problem is that if the application creates new files in the folder Program Files/AirAppFolder, then uninstall of the app are not deleted these files.
    How to solve these problems, help please?

    Hi,
    AIR shouldn't be creating additional files in your program files folder, is this something you're doing programmatically?  If so, you might want to consider using File.applicationStorageDirectory instead given permission problems you'll have on newer operating systems.
    As to uninstalling all files (even the data created in the user's storage folder) this is something you might consider using a native installer to take care of.  Since the AIR installer is unaware of this data, it won't know to delete it on uninstall.  Instead, you'll want to create a custom function in a native installer that deletes these folders/files and then sub launches the AIR install/uninstall.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • My iTunes browser does not have all of the options available to me

    I joined iTunes in March, and ever since, I cannot search, and I do not have all of the options available to me.  I need to sync my downloaded ringtones, and I do not have anything on the sidebar, like in the tutorial.  Can someone please help?
    Also, I cannot access my Library, and I cannot see my playlist.

  • Photo browser does not show all aperture projects (missing 12)

    Has anyone experienced this issue? My photobrowser (mail) only gives me a partial list of what I have in aperture. Discussed this with apple support a month ago and he couldn't figure it out so suggested that I rebuild, which I did, and the problem went away, but now it's back. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks a bunch.

    Hi Tony,
    Many thanks for your comments.
    Yes, I did try all possible ways of connecting my drive to the iMac and even to my laptop (Firewire & USB).
    I also did the consistency check.
    I am not sure about the set-up of "Ignore ownership on this volume"? Never heard about this and will try to find out how to check that.
    The most extraordinary thing is that ALL my photos are visible in the "All Photos" blue folder, though they do not have the respective Project folder in the library window...?
    Since each project are existing in my Aperture file library when I open the "Show Package Contents", I am lost at what to do next to recuperate those projects in their previous state in my Aperture profile.
    My next move, I think is to try again to restore the vault onto another drive since you mention that size should not be an issue.
    By the way, can you tell me if a properly restored vault should recreate all project folders and its subsequent albums + smart albums in the Projects window?
    Many thanks for your support.
    Cheers
    Frederic

  • HT1386 iphone 4 with outlook 2010. The sync does NOT sync all of info such as some Notes and some contacts. Any advice please?

    When Syncing iPhone with iTunes with Outlook 2010 with Wiindows7 not all of the information is sysnchronized. e.g. Outlook Notes shows 8 more entries than iPhone. Any help would be appreciated. Sync is done by direct cable connection.

    I finally found a solution that worked.
    I installed the App "Group SMS" from the App Store. Then I created a new group. Then I added all my addresses manually one by one. And when I then synchronize - all my contacts appeared again in Outlook.

  • TS1424 Purchased an album one or more records does not play all the way through. A 13 minute track only plays for the first 3.05 minutes and then stops and the program locks up. Larry

    I just purchased a album and one or more of the tracks does not play all the way through. One track which is a 13 minute track will only play for the first 3 minutes. Larry

    Delete the songs from your iTunes library and redownload them by clicking "Purchased", under Quick Links at the top right of the iTunes store.

  • After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch.

    After turning off private browsing Safari crashes immediately upon launch. I tried soft-resetting, and clearing my cookies and cache. I basically launches in private browsing mode and then immediately tries to switch to regular browsing. When the screen changes, it crashes to desktop.
    Any ideas, other than wiping my iPad?
    (I'm using iOS 5, of course, but it is not available under the Operating System dropdown in this forum)

    I'm seeing the same problem, and it was repeatable for me.  iPad (original 3G, 64GB), iOS 5.  (There are now a couple threads with this same problem.)
    Once the crashes start, it would continue to crash every time I tried to bring up Safari.  It crashes just as it finishes showing the tool bars, but before any content is displayed.
    Manually killing the app did not make the problem go away.
    One time, shutting down and restarting the iPad fixed it, but that solution did not work the next time I went in and out of Private browsing.  Also, once the crashing begins, going back into Private browsing did not stop the crashing.
    The last time it got into the crashing condition, I stopped the crashing by turning off the setting to display the Bookmark bar.  Strange!
    I have like 20 Safari crash logs that I hope will get auto-sent to Apple sometime today (I reenabled the send data to Apple option).

  • Pandora message "Pandora believes your browser does not support modern SSL/TLS" and everything seems disabled on the site-how fix?

    I have been using Firefox for a long time as my browser and typically play Pandora while at my office most days. For the first time today I received a pop up message "Pandora believes your browser does not support modern SSL/TLS. Consider upgrading your browswer" when I logged on to Pandora. I checked and I am on the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. I am unable to control volume or log out of Pandora now. I did some google searches and found Mozilla disabled ssl3.0 due to a "Poodle" attack. Does that mean that I can no longer use Firefox as my browser when I want to listen to music on Pandora or is there "a fix"? Thanks!

    Mozilla Firefox as of Firefox 34 has the vulnerable SSL 3.0 disabled and only allows for TLS 1.0 at minimum to 1.2 now.
    https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/10/14/the-poodle-attack-and-the-end-of-ssl-3-0/
    So Pandora is incorrect if they believe Firefox is not safe to use.
    Actually Pandora potentially needs to do a bit of upgrading themselves.
