AppTabs don't open when I start Firefox
I pinned a couple of tabs as App tabs. When I closed Firefox and re-opened they did not re-open as is described in their description page.
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google browser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.
Do you have the FastStart extension?
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

Tabs from last session aren't opening when I start FireFox
In options I have Show my windows and tabs from last time set for When Firefox starts. And I unchecked the warn me when closing multiple tabs option (although it was previously checked, and it wasn't warning me when it was checked).
The last few days I have had 1 window with 4 tabs open (each to a different site) when I exited Firefox. The next day when I start firefox it ends up opening 4 windows each showing about:blank. My tabs are not restored.
I have NOT cleared my history or any other information.Who was the pop-up offer from?
Also, do you by any chance have chat utility installed called Digsby? -

You'll want to change the "When Firefox starts" setting under Tools -> Options -> Main (General in 3.6+) to '''Show my home page'''

As above sentence. Suddenly, every time I start Firefox it opens with the Firefox tab and the Avast online security tab. This didn't use to happen. I've tried disabling it via Firefox (as it was loaded on the computer long before I had Firefox) which solves that problem but then the large green tick icon doesn't show next to the search list to show the site is safe. It's very annoying that it has started doing this and certainly don't want it!
Sorry you might as well as written it in double dutch. I didn't understand it at all. Previously I have said I don't understand computer speak.

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

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. -
Bookmark sidebar always open when I start Firefox. How to prevent?
Upon starting Firefox, the bookmarks sidebar is always open. It is a nuisance to constantly need to close it. This has never happened before. It suddenly started a couple weeks ago and now the sidebar is open each morning I open Firefox. I can't find any options for it in the menu. Just the temporary closing. Using Firefox 26.

Additional tab opens when I start Firefox
Whenever I start Firefox 28.0, my homepage loads, followed immediately by a new tab with a number of website icons - why??? How do I get rid of this secondary tab???
What is the string in the '''browser.startup.homepage''' option on '''about:config''' page?

Try start in Safe Mode, sometimes addons can be the cause of the problem:

I changed the target in properties to fix the initial start problem, but even with my homepage set in the control panel, it will not go there when clicking the home icon.
Hello,
Note that your version of Firefox is outdated, you can update by going to:
* Help > About Firefox
* Please see this link for all of the security updates since version 27: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/
Is there a reason you are adding the link to the target line of Firefox? You can change your home page settings at:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
If that works for you, you do not need to modify the target line for your Firefox shortcut.
If you are finding changing your home page there doesn't work, you may want to see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]], and/or scan for malware:

also when will 7.1 be compatible with Yahoo?
Hello Jane.
No, that feature is not in Firefox. You may want to install an extension that lets you do that, though. For example, this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/9275/ -
I recently updated to Firefox 5.0, and I was pretty impressed with the app tabs. I usually use Firefox in private browsing mode, but recently I changed that to make use of the history function. However, I decided to change it back to permanent private browsing, and apparently my pinned tabs all just disappeared. Is there anyway I can change this?
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
If you use Private Browsing mode then no session data is stored to disk. -
Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
