Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
(A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
(B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

  • Sharing certain groups in address book rather than the whole address book

    Hi
    I haven't got server yet in our office but we are looking to do this. Currently we just share calendars and other bits and pieces but I'm looking to get server in place. Sharing the address book requires giving a user our iCloud password and letting them look at the address book as a whole. We really only want to share certain phone numbers like our company staff phone numbers rather than our financial clients and other sensitive contacts.
    Is it possible to only allow a "user" to access certain, or 1 group in address book rather than the whole address book library itself by using osx server
    Many thanks

    Hi Jaime,
    I just wanted to jump in here with a quick question... on Mac OS X Server my understanding was that with the open directory, you can't designate organizational groups for the ldap service. Without that ability, how are you limiting what ldap users can see?
    In our setup, our LDAP settings would be similar to
    cn=users,dc=example,dc=com
    What format would you use to say show only members of the group "examplegroup"?
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

    I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

    Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
    Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
    In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
    Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

  • A cleaning utility deleted my browsing history! My fault! I want to re-open the old pages and tabs. The info may be in an old "sessionstore.js" or "places.sqlite" file but these are huge and some URLS are written backwards. Where do I start please?

    I have copied "places.sqlite" and given it a .txt extension, then opened in Wordpad - but it's huge - I don't know what order it's in and many of the URLS are written backwards - like "moc.smooretal.www" instead of "www.laterooms.com."
    Similarly there are several numbered versions of sessionstore.js in the profile and these can be opened with a text editor too. But if I simply substitute the current sessionstore.js file with an older (numbered) one in the profile, Firefox seems to ignore it.
    So:
    1. Is there a method of re-installing the "history" sites list or "previously opened pages and tabs" from the 'places.sqlite' file, or from a previous sessionstore.js file (and if so how do I go about it ?)
    2. If not, is there an alternative source of browsing history back-up which I can use or
    3. If not that either, is there at least a way of reversing the backwards text so I can read the URLs and copy/paste them?
    All knowledgeable help much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance,
    Peter

    Firefox has other backups it makes automatically, unfortunately your cleaning utility may have wiped them.
    #First step backup manually whatever you have
    #*''' edit''' <s>[[backing up and restoring backups]]</s><br/> [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    #Second step find and copy all of your profile folder and all the sub files and sub folders
    ## easiest method of finding it is <br> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile [Open containing folder] <br/>The places.sqlite is a database that contains all your bookmarks and history, if this exists and is not corrupt then your bookmarks library should work and allow you to create backups.
    ##*see [[backing up your information]]
    ## put it somewhere safe your Windows desktop will do
    .JSON files are the backup files, either created manually or by firefox
    sessionstore.js files probably are of little use to you, containing only the tabs & windows from recent close downs, not the full history and bookarks.
    Now that any existing files are safe try to see if any backups exist that firefox created automatically
    * these would be in a folder within the profile
    * they can most easily be used by opening the bookmarks library, as explained in the article linked above.

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Cache because Firefox will disable the disk cache in such a case
    *do not clear the Browsing History
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    See also:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
    The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box.
    *Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
    If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

    Any suggestions on how to fix this (other than re-installing portal).
    Thanks.

    Well ... this appears to be a serious problem with the Portal as it renders it incapable of adding pages and tabs. I've tried reinstalling it on 3 different servers, used another instance of Oracle database, and the result is still the same. No installation errors, and suddenly after 7-10 days this error starts appearing.
    Am I the only one experiencing this type of error? ...and can anyone offer\suggest ways to fix it?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    my iPhoto library is showing up as a package in finder rather than a library. How can I get it to show as a library again

    That can be an indication that there is no iPhoto app found in the Applicaiton folder to open the library with.  Make sure your iPhoto.app  is in the Applications folder and not in a sub folder.  Also make sure the app works as TD has already suggested.  If it doesn't you'll need to reinstall iPhoto.
