Customization for Firefox 29 not staying when closing and reopening firefox

The only add-on I have added in an attempt to get this new version of firefox to not look so much like a crowded mess is Classic Theme Restorer. My problem is when I click on the "new" customization tool and move say the bookmark star button or say one of my older add-ons like my email checker. I finally get it so this thing is at least passable to me now and close out of the new customize page. I can do that just fine, the problem I then have is if I close out of Firefox - say shut down the computer - then come back a bit later everything has been moved around.
Things I had on the left side of the screen are now on the right. Buttons are back to their default or just missing all together. Is this a glitch? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Hello,
This happens in safe mode?

Maybe you have a corrupted localstore.rdf, try unhide the hidden files and folder, go to you profile folder, close Firefox, delete or rename the lcalstore.rdf file and restart Firefox, then try make and changes and check if the problem still occur:

Why does the third party cookie setting (when unchecked) revert to "accept" when closing and reopening Firefox.

Uncheck "Accept Third Party Cookies"
Exit Firefox
Open Firefox
Check settings: "Accept Third Party Cookies" is now checked

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When closing and reopening, my tabs aren't restoring like the once did. My history is only keeping one day. Need to know how to change these settings.

When closing and reopening Firefox, my tabs aren't restoring like they once did. I used to have all my tabs restore each time I opened Firefox. Now it starts with one fresh new tab and all my others are lost. I do a lot of research so this is important.
My history is only displaying one day even though I have never changed my settings even after I updated it last year.
Need to know how to restore these settings.
***OH! special note: I can't use the recently closed tabs or recently closed windows because its a grayed out option****

Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner?
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

After installing Firefox 5, why, after closing and reopening the programme, do I seem to have lost most of the new features?

After installing Firefox 5, replacing my previous version (4.5), I could see the new features. However, having closed and reopened Firefox, it seems as though it has reverted to the previous version, even though 'Help - About' says I'm running on version 5.0.
I had to download 5.0 from the Mozilla website, as I tried to update via the update tool in 4.5, but it claimed I was fully up to date, even though I have 5.0 on another machine (which works perfectly).

Can you please describe the "new features" that you saw first time you opened Firefox 5?
Thank you.

Links no longer showing as visited after closing and reopening tab in Firefox, or closing and reopening Firefox browser.

(Edited to make easier to read)
Also, if I click on a link and it turns purple then I refresh the page, the link turns back to blue (unvisited / unread).
Is this something new with version 7?
I'm using Firefox 7.0.1 (when did it update to this version?)
In >Options >Privacy tab
For 'history' I have selected:
 
Use custom settings for history
 
Remember my browsing history: (Checked)
 
Remember download history: (Checked)
 
Remember search and form history: (Not checked)
 
Accept cookies from sites: (Checked)
 
Accept third-party cookies: (unchecked)
 
Keep until: 'I close Firefox'
 
Clear history when firefox closes:
Only selections checked are:
 
Cookies
 
Active logins
 
Cache
Also, I always have NoScript enabled and only 'allow' on a case by case basis (even for sites I visit regularly) and even this seems to have some sites already allowed when I revisit them (mainly login URLs) when this didn't used to happen.
My main issue right now though is the visited links not staying coloured purple (read / visited).
I love Firefox and don't want to change to another browser if I don't have to (Linus / Ubuntu would be my next choice).
Thank you in advance for any information you can offer.

Thanks for the reply cor-el!
Make sure that the History is enabled: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Remember my browsing history
 
I have selected:
 
'Use custom settings for history' with only the following options checked:
 
Remember my browsing history: (Checked)
 
Remember download history: (Checked)
 
Accept cookies from sites: (Checked)
Keep until: 'I close Firefox'
Then I have this selection:
'Clear history when firefox closes'
And the only 'settings' selected / checked are:
 
Cookies (CORRECTION: I don't have cookies selected because I always manually delete all cookies whenever I close the browser)
 
Active logins
 
Cache
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
 
Yes, I've made sure that option is not selected.
My NoScript settings keeps changing to 'allow' sites when I have it set to be always on (to not allow scripts from any sites) and only allow on a case by case basis even with sites I visit regularly. Could this be correlated?
Why do I have to use html in order for the text separated into sentences and paragraphs, rather than being bunched all together?

Fluid grid layout lost when closing and reopening Dreamweaver

I am working on fluid grid layout in dreamweaver cc. I created a new dreamweaver site, created a fluid grid layout page and everything looked and worked as it should. I closed out of dreamweaver and when I reopened it, I could no longer see the fluid grid layout or the fluid grid handles on any of the divs. I also no longer had the little button in the toolbar next to the live button either, to toggle the fluid layout on and off. I did not move the css or js from where dreamweaver originally stored them.
Also checked the content and code of my files, everything looks as it should:
The fluid grid layout style sheet IS attached to the page.
The Fluid Grid Properties near the top of the style sheet ARE still there.
I have tried several test sites and as soon as I close DW and reopen it, the fluid grid layout button is gone, as is are the visual aids. I uninstalled and reinstalled dreamweaver to no avail.
Very frustrating!
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Thank you for all the responses. When I was doing the testing, I didn't touch any of the style sheets. I just created a new site, created a new FGL page, saved everything, then closed out. When I reopened, the FGL elements were not there. So in taking Ken's suggestion, I was getting ready to upload the files to see if anyone could see what I was doing wrong. I had named the file test.html so I did a 'save as', to save it as index.html to make it easier. Then a strange thing happened. The new 'index.html' page came in with the FGL elements! When I looked at the test.html, they still were not there. In doing additional testing, when I open the first file, whether test.html or index.html, no FGL functions are available, when I open the second one, again no matter whether test.html or index.html, they are. Getting ready to throw my hands up... I uploaded everything to:
http://www.ComputerSecurity.com/fgltest/
Directly under there is the css file called fgltest.css, along with the boilerplate.css, respond.min.js, index,html, and test.html.
Don't know what is going on. I am new to fluid grid layouts, but not to dreamweaver, have been using it for years. Unless someone can see something that I cannot, seems like the only way I can create a Fluid grid layout based on this new information, is to open one page and work on another...

My MacBook screen shuts off, goes to white.Restores when closing and reopening,then pressing "enter". This happenn frequently,

My display seems to "time out" unexpectedly.
The screen turns white with blue streeks.
I can restore the display by closing then reopening the display and pressing "exit".
I never loose data and the computer then operates normally.

Ok, mine has been doing the same thing. By now probably have it fixed but the battery thing worked for me. I would open it and it would go black or be all flickery. It seemed like and internal problem that would need a screen cable replaced or such but I just took the battery out which I probably haven't done in the 3 and half years I had it and it worked with the direct power supply. And before I even had time to order new battery I put the same one back and it works great again. These people seriously know how to make a computer. Only problem I've ever had.

Video does not restart when closed and re-opened

I have a .f4v file (Adobe Premiere) embedded into a swf. The
video is launched into an iframe when the user clicks on the link
to "See Video". When I close the iframe in Firefox and then click
on the link again to launch the video, it starts from the
beginning. In IE7, IE6 and Safari the video continues from where it
left off. I would like for it to start from the beginning like in
Firefox. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do you have a link to the video. Why are you using the iframe? I'm curious to see how this works. I have a html page with a swf with buttons that play movies on a small area on the screen it's easily controllable though I only programmed the pause button. I have the selection buttons run the small videos on roll over and a higher res larger version with swf skin with full controls - seek when you click the selection.

Missing Live Shapes function when closing and reopening Photoshop CC

When I create a LIVE SHAPE in Photoshop CC edit the corners etc, close the file and then reopen at another stage, the ability to change the LIVE SHAPE properties has dissapeared.
Is it a bug or am I missing something.
Thanks in advance.

Best way I have found so far is to use the direct select tool (A). It gives you the properties on some of the shapes again. It doesn't always work though. Half of my shapes work and half don't

Front Panel objects do not stay in place after saving, closing, and reopening the VI.

I have been working with a couple of versions of a main VI. The original VI was given to me so that I could add additional functionalities to it. I had been designing the front panel of the latest version of the VI on a Dell laptop running Windows 7 and LabView 2011 SP1 using a monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080. My booleans, numerics, and plots on the front panel had always stayed in place after saving, closing, and reopening the VI. Once in the field, I connected my laptop to a cRIO9073 and used my laptop screen with a resolution of 1366x768 to operate the VI. I made some changes to the VI, saved it, and reopened it. This time I noticed that the front panel objects had become overlapped, resized, and generally rearranged. I tried fixing the objects but I noticed that they reverted back to the incorrect positions after saving and reopening the VI. I was successful in keeping the objects in position a couple of times, but when I would open the VI at a later time, the objects were again rearranged. This is happening on both my monitor and laptop screen. The original version of the VI, however, does not behave this way and I have opened it on both my monitor and laptop screen. In this version, the front panel objects always stay in place. Both VI's have the same window size properties. Could I have corrupted the latest version of my VI somehow? Below are screenshots of the front panels of both VI's.

Hi Miguel,
It is possible to programmatically set or change the position of front panel objects. (for example: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4D0DA06B43195B3F862572F3000AF2D3?OpenDocument) However, if you haven’t intentionally done that, it seems unlikely that it is the problem.
Have you tried copying the entire block diagram in to a new VI to see if the problem persists? While it is unlikely, you are right that it is possible for VIs to become corrupted. I’ve never heard of a situation like this except in the situation where the settings Tom had you check have been changed. Here is some information about those settings:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7567EF257B9CFDF986256F630073228F?OpenDocument
Since there was no rearrangement when you copied the front panel to a new VI, you might try copying the block diagram a little bit at a time to see if there is some particular part of it that creates the problem somehow.

Macbook pro not turning on after SMC reset. I have the following problem. Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011does not sleep when closing the screen. smc due loud fan and an X on battery symbol

Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011 dos not sleep when closing the screen cover. Today I Turner my laptop in. However the fan was working loudly and stayed loud. After Start I noticed an X on Battery symbol. Clicking on it, it showed 'no battery.' I found out that a potential solution for this problem was SMC reset. I also noticed that the leds on magsafe was not lightning. Despite this I tried to execute the smc reset as described on apple support site. Switching off, plugin the magsafe connector, pushed the buttons shift + alt+ ctrl + power. Then i pushed the power button, but my mbp is not turning on. I pushed several times on the power button but nothing works. The magsafe is also dark meaning the leds not lightning. Can anyone here help me on this ?

Problem solved by my own. But do not how :) magsafe again working and the laptop tooo

HT203167 Why do files that I have organized into folders not stay in their folders after closing and reopening iTunes? And Why does the renaming get undone? I do this in iTunes Media/ Music.

Why do files that I have organized into folders not stay in their folders after closing and reopening iTunes? And Why does the renaming get undone? I do this in iTunes Media/ Music.

I recently had to reinstall my software for a
dell computer a dell latitude d 830, then after installing all of my software and such including itunes the player did well even record to disks with no problems now that my system has done alot of updating of system files....now the itunes does not burn to my cd...error message 2131 this time
The 2131 usually indicates firmware needs to be updated on a drive.
Head to your drivers and downloads page for your latitude at Dell, and check for updates to your firmware for your optical drives. If you're behind and you update, does that clear up the 2131?

Firefox does not warm when closing or quitting multiple tabs

Even though I have it set to warn me when closing or quitting, Firefox will quit and close multiple tabs. It defeats the purpose of having that setting turned on in the first place. Please help.

It looks like a setting I thought I had turned on was not:
browser.showQuitWarning: true

Firefox is not warning when closing multiple tabs, even though it is set to warn me in preferences!

Firefox is not warning when closing multiple tabs, even though it is set to warn me in preferences! Unchecking and rechecking the box does not help, it's as if Firefox is ignoring the option to warn when closing multiple tabs.

You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use History > Restore Previous Session to get back the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Why does Firefox keep me logged into websites after closing and reopening the browser?

As of today, Firefox has been behaving differently. Namely, when I close Firefox and reopen, I am still logged in to email and other sites. I have all of my privacy settings checked, such as clear history, offline data, form history, etc etc so that they all will be deleted upon closing but this has no effect. Can someone provide insight as to why this is happening and how I can correct it? Before today, after closing and reopening the browser I was required to log in to any sites requiring UN and PW.
I have rechecked all history deletion options to make sure all the appropriate ones were selected. Yesterday, I noticed inbox.com and a program called 24x7 Help were installed on the computer, without my knowledge. I promptly uninstalled them,but I'm not sure if they could somehow be responsible for the odd behavior.

Such a behavior indicates that you keep the cookie(s) that verify that you are logged on to a web server.
Are you using session restore to open those tabs automatically?
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
You can set the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level pref to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
You can change the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
