Can't get F. to reset prior tabs properly on opening.

I set Firefox to restore prior session on opening, and it was working. Something happened, and I can't get it to do this properly any more. For example, at
http://www.iws.org/interactive_nestchat_allUstream.html
it opens to that page, which has controls to adjust vertical and horizontal position, but it no longer restores the results of using these controls on the page from the last session, and I have to go through this process every time I open Firefox. In the Options menu/General, I have it set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", but it always goes to the Home Page setting, no matter what I put in there. How do you get Firefox to set to "no home page", or its equivalent? If you leave the space blank, it goes to the Firefox page. Is this one of those things you have to set in a .ini file somewhere?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
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.

    How can I get a query in the search field to open in a new tab or new window from the current window?

    If you are searching via the Search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar, this preference can be changed to have searches there open in a Tab.
    Type '''about:config''' in the Address Bar and hit Enter. Then answer "I'll be careful". Type this pref in the Search at the top.
    '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true'''

  • In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

    In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

    Thank you so much for your reply . . . but . . . I should have shared my original script with you -- it was a little more complicated than I led you to believer. I was triggering a group of text fields to become disabled as well as gray. Below is the original script so that when the checkbox is checked, it causes several "Co" fields to be disabled and gray.
    // Mouse Up script for check box 
    // If checked, certain fields should be disabled 
    var f_prefix = "Co"; 
    // Get a reference to all of the "Co" fields 
    var f = getField(f_prefix); 
    // Reset the Co fields 
    resetForm([f_prefix]); 
    if (event.target.value === "Off") { 
        // Enable the Co fields 
        f.readonly = false; 
        f.fillColor = color.transparent; 
    } else { 
        // Disable the Co fields 
        f.readonly = true; 
        f.fillColor = color.gray; 
    To recap -- my goal is to get those gray fields to revert to transparent if the form is reset. I'm willing to create my own custom "Reset Form" button but I'm not sure I understand how that would look. Wouldn't it be quite lengthy? I think I'm having a brain freeze -- can't figure it out!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Try starting the organizer while holding down the shift key.  Hopefully, it should load the Catalog Manager.
    Select your current catalog and click on the Repair button. Once it has finished, click on the Open button to see if the catalog opens.
    Good luck,
    Brian

    Thank you all so much to all of you for the prompt reply!
    Sorry I did try all your ideas, but I stil can't open Hotmail-account and
    I can't send, reply any hotmail-emails, when I click on a message in my Inbox the message doesn't open.
    If I click on any links in my inbox on hotmail, absolutely nothing happens.
    I'm using HTTPS-hotmail.
    JavaScript is enabled .
    I'm not infected with malware, I use Norman Security Suite Viruses and Spyware.
    I disabled all add-ons with FF in Safe Mode, and hotmail worked well.
    I used Hotmail with Firefox for years with no problem.
    Starting about 2 weeks i can't sign into my hotmail account through firefox;
    I open firefox, then hotmail, put my adress, and then there's this page:
    A password isn't enough ...
    I click on the "SAVE"-button", it does not work.
    It works well in IE.
    I did remove the cookies,
    by 'View Cookies' there is this cookie: "answers microsoft com"",
    and i cannot remove this cookie.
    (I have firefox on "Never remember history")
    I also did use the the refresh button and the ''Shift'' key, it doesn't work :-(
    By Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del , totally nothing happens. Please help me.
    Thank you so much for your help!! My english language is not good, that's why my reply takes a long time. Sorry for that.
    I wish you all a wonderful evening from Holland.

  • Can I revert back after upgrading to Mavericks operating system? Can't get my Adobe software to run properly.

    Can I revert back to a previous operating system after upgrading to Mavericks? Since installing Mavericks I can't get my Adobe software to run properly.

    Thanks, for your replies. I've got a late 2012 iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5). I was previously running Snow Leopard - Not sure exactly what version but it was right up to date.
    The Adobe software I'm using is the Creative Cloud. Specifically InDesign cc. Whenever I try to browse folders through the InDesign software the browser window closes before I can do what I need to do. So I cant place images into my InDesign document or save documents properly.
    On the Adobe website it says that they worked with apple to fix any bugs before the Mavericks release but there's lots of complaints on the forums. I've left a bug notification with Adobe but I don't expect that they will be offering any solutions or software updates any time soon.
    I really just want to revert back without too much trouble.

  • Why do I have two title bars - one with the title of the page I'm looking at and another with the new orange drop down menu? Plus I can't get FF4 to save my tabs, even when I go to about:config, why is that?

    I downloaded FF4, thinking that it would merely update from my previous installation, but all my tabs were gone. FF looks really weird - here is a link to a picture of it: http://tinypic.com/r/2mwdus4/7 - I have two title bars, my bookmarks toolbar is missing and the tabs are on the bottom. If I go to view => toolbars and click one of them, suddenly the second title bar (with the orange menu) disappers and my bookmarks toolbar comes back (even if I don't click on it in "view"). I can't get the browser to remember my tabs between sessions even though I set it to remember them in my settings. I even changed the browser.showQuitWarning to true in about:config, but it didn't work. What is going on?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • I was ablet to download firefox on my galaxy tab several months ago, but now i can't get it on my coworkers tabs. how can i download to galaxy tab 10.1?

    I have firefox 10.0.5 on my galaxy tab 10.1. When we purchased more tablets last month, I have not been able to install firefox on them. It does not seem to be a supported device with the newest version of firefox mobile. How can I get firefox 10.0.5 or some other version of firefox that works on the galaxy tab 10.1? Firefox seems to be the most stable browser when there is an interuption in internet service. Is there a solution formy remaining tablets that don't have firefox?

    Try getting the latest version from this URL http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#mobile
    Hope it helps.

  • I do not get thumbnails of my App Tabs when I open Tab Groups (and so I can't create any Tab Groups).

    I simply get replicas of the App Tab icons on the right side of the Tab Groups box. These icons are not movable and clicking on them simply opens them. As a result, I can't proceed to form them into Tab Groups.

    You can
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    You can have apps purchased from more than one account. It does complicate update apps though.
    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Having trouble changing master password as i have forgotten it and can not get it to reset please help

    I have tried to remember what the first pass word was and can not get it done. i can not send out emails on both of my email accounts [email protected] or [email protected] as both request password. when i have tried to reset master password it will not except any thing that i am doing. i need to send out emails for my work and having trouble doing the change. Please help

    The master password protects saved passwords in Thunderbird and has nothing to do with connecting to your providers server. You need to work with your email provider if you have forgotten your email password. Go to their email help site and look for a link to reset your password.
    If you are truly working with a forgotten master password this article tells you how to remove it.
