Despite checking 'save and quit' before exit, I lose all tabs upon re-launch.
This kind of thing keeps me from making Firefox my default browser.
This never happens with Chrome.
How perceptive.
Yes I do use CCleaner.
Under Firefox cleanup in CCleaner, I have the following unchecked:
--Internet History
--Download History
I have checked the following, assuming these are fine to clean up:
--Internet Cache
--Cookies
--Sessions
--Compact Databases
Have I checked or unchecked any of the above in such a way
that it would keep Firefox from retaining tabs between sessions?
Thanks !

Apps auto-launch on startup, despite System Prefs and quitting before shutdown.
All apps that were open before shutdown are relaunching themselves upon startup.
This behavior occurs even if I quit each application individually before initiating system shutdown.
This behavior occurs whether I tick or untick the following settings within System Preferences / General:
• Ask to keep changes when closing documents.
• Close windows when quitting an application.
This behavior occurs despite none of the apps being listed within System Prefs / Login Items.
Examples of auto-launching apps (behavior occured just now with these): TextEdit, Dictionary, Calendar, Contacts, Safari, Firefox, Excel, Acrobat.

This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:

Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.

I choose to 'save and quit' when I close Firefox, but recently my pages disappear on new session for few times. After I reopen firefox, it's only my default homepage left, all my other pages that I previously save before closing firefox are all gone. It has happened for a few times with this new version, which I do not have this kind of problem before with other version. I wonder is this version unstable? Or is there any other way to deal with it? Thanks!
You should update to Firefox 3.6.13. See Help > Check for Updates.
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.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore -
Save and Quit tabs does not work properly.
When asked to Save and Quit tabs for the specific session is selected, Firefox does not restore tabs at the next session.
I have read the posts where it is suggested to change the settings and simply never clear the history. However this is not the way that Firefox behaved in older versions, NOR IS IT A SOLUTION due to the following:
The pop-up on exit to Save and Clear is clearly asking the user if that specific session should be remembered and then clearing the history should be superseded by saving instead. Otherwise, what is the point of asking the user to save? A pop-up warning saying that the tabs will not be remembered would be more appropriate.
Regardless, the user has been asked if this specific session should be remembered, and this clearly being the last choice done by the user, supersedes the prior settings for this one specific session. The tabs should be remembered, as the user has instructed (and Firefox used to do in the past), and yet Firefox opens a new session having dumped the information.
Changing the settings to remembering the history instead, does not serve people that want most times to clear it. This would then mandate a manual clearing of history every time before a session is ended instead.
This will need a permanent fix/rollback to the way Firefox used to behaved in these circumstances in older versions.After transferring musics to the device selecting by mass storage mode you need to follow this
Go to Device Menu> Music> Music Player> Option> refresh library
have you followed this? if this does not help could you please provide more information sothat someone can help you to solve your problem?

How do I get my "save and quit" back after updating to the latest version of Firefox on a PC?
How do I get my "save and quit" back I do not like having to close all my tabs and loose all that every time I close out of firefox. When I got the latest version of firefox I lost the ability for firefox to save my tabs when I close out of it. I have to go through the process of opening all my tabs and refinding the sites all over again each time I load up firefox. I can not find the place to change the settings to being back the way they were before firefox got the latest version. I want my "save and quit" back.
Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
Another possibility is to use:

when i close the browser it ask whether you want quit or save and quit , when i selet save and quit none of te pages are saved, or if saved where can i find them?
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
* [[Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit]] -
Upon closing Firefox it asks me if I'd like to save and quit, quit, or cancel. I always choose save and quit. I've noticed the last few times that my tabs were not saved the next time I opened Firefox, I'm wondering why. I've lost some webpages I was saving for later now, because of this.
The computer crashes, due to power failure, with Firefox running. After rebooting, Firefox has lost record of tabs. [History/Recently Closed Windows] is grayed out. So the list of tabs is lost. It should be possible for the software to keep a periodic backup of current tabs, such as, e.g., MS Word makes backups of the current file every 10 minutes, so that the tabs can be restored if the software does not make a normal exit due to a computer crash.

why when i use firefox 4 or 5 they didn't ask like firfox3 save and quit this option not include in 4 or 5 or 6
Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />

When I updated Firefox I have now discovered I can no longer action the 'save and quit' function when closing down Firefox! Is this a common problem and more to the point is there a solution to this?? ie, change settings or some form of patch??
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this function WAS awesome when needing certain tabs kept open.Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" -
Restore previous session button available on my Firefox homepage is great, but what I really want is the Save and Quit feature. I have always felt that its one of the best features of Firefox, second only to search address bar directly leading me to the actual page. I read some threads about this, and found the answers very unconvincing. One of the suggested ones was "Pin as app tab" . No, I don't want to pin every tab that I want to visit say, thrice as an app. Second suggestion was, click on the obvious button on the homepage to restore the tabs(this took me quite a while to actually see). Why this change in design? This is identical to Chrome's but its very inferior to what Firefox already had. Is there anyway, without downgrading of course, I can get that feature back?
Okay, I found the answer myself. Going to about:config and setting browser.showQuitWarning to true, restored that option and brought it back. Thanks to anyone who is about to post. If this is false by default, it has got to change.

"Save and quit" doesn't work anymore
FF4 DOES ask me if I want to "save and quit" at the end of a session and I always click "yes" but when I bring FF up the next time NONE of my pages come up.
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.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
* browser.startup.page , seehttp://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.startup.page (1 or 2)
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 />

You can use Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session to get back the previous session.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Everything looks different and many old features appear to be gone. All open tabs close automatically on exit without save option and there is no ability to go back to an open page within the same tab without backing through each page(no pull down bar). 4 is not friendly or efficient at all compared to 3.16.6. When you exit it closes all tabs that are open with no option to save and I can not get any of the help or feedback functions in the help menu to open.
If you want Firefox to warn you when you exit,one change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
An alternative is to set Firefox to automatically open your last set of tabs when you start Firefox.
# Open the Options window and go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
