Do App Tabs work if I automatically clear browsing history when I clost FF?
I have my privacy settings such that everything clears when I close FF. Do I have to keep my browsing history in order for App Tabs to work? Right now, they don't reappear when I start FF, but I'm not sure which box to uncheck on the "clear history" list.
Tap the two square on top right for Private Browsing.

When I configure
Options>Privacy>History -> Clear history when Firefox closes -> When I quit Firefox, it should automatically clear all: -> Browsing History
all of my App Tab tabs are cleared, as well. Do I have to give up my privacy in order to use the App Tab feature?You can try to select only one setting at the time in [[Clear Recent History]] to see which one is causing the crash.

Crashes when I attempt to clear browser history;temp fix:I use IObit Security to clean browsing history,cannot clean it all,cleans most,I am then able to clear the rest of my history thru Firefox;I thought this info would help solve the problem
Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.

Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing. -
I go to 'Tools' click 'clear browsing history'. Nothing happens and when I try to shut down the page, the 'Programme not responding' box appears.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

In the settings for Firefox 33.0 (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 but the functionality is the same for Windows 7) there are two different ways to delete cookies when firefox closes. Or at least there seems to be.
First is the keep cookies until firefox closes
Second is to check the box to clear history when firefox closes and in the settings check cookies.
What is the difference between these two options?
I usually have both setup but I was noticing that a login was not saving for td canada trust easyweb, even though I have an exception set for it. Now I unchecked to delete cookies when clearing the history on close and the login saves correctly.
This login saves 7 cookes under easyweb.td.com and 10 cookies under td.com and I have exceptions set for both. If I clear history on close and include cookies, half of the td.com cookies are gone when I close firefox and re-open. The same is true if I don't set the exception.
So currently I cannot figure out a way to keep all the cookies if I clear cookie history when firefox closes. What is the difference when this is enabled?Let all cookies expire when Firefox is closed to make them session cookies.
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Keep until: "I close Firefox"
Create a cookie 'allow' exception for cookies that you would like to keep.
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: Exceptions
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

Just downloaded version 4.0 yesterday, running on Mac OS 10.6.6. When I set up a few app tabs, they worked fine during the session but were gone when I restarted Firefox.
I usually have my preferences set to clear my browsing history, download history, forms, cache, active logins, and most cookies when I close Firefox. I changed them to clear everything else as usual but to remember my browsing history, and this seems to solve the problem - my app tabs reappeared when I restarted FF. Is there a setting I'm missing that would let me clear my history but maintain the app tabs across sessions?Based on everything you have told us, Without a doubt, you need a lot more RAM installed in your iMac.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard can, at times, use up the full 4 GBs of RAM, for. itself, alone.
Your model iMac can take, a total of 16 GBs of RAM.
My advice is to install the max. 16 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
RAM is user installable and very easy to do for beginning or novice computer users or novice computer upgraders.

App Tabs do not open automatically
I set GMail and RTM as "App Tabs" but when I open Firefox again they do not open automatically - it simply opens to my normal home page.
App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed. -
This has happened a couple times when I installed updates to Firefox or Flash, but most recently: I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8. I installed the Adobe Flash update to Flash 11 and when I restarted Firefox, all my saved tabs were cleared, including the App tabs I'd pinned.
What's the URL of the page?
In the mean time clear the cache and reload the page. -
I am wondering if it is possible to turn app tabs into basically a "live bookmark"
the TabMixPlus extension has a feature for doing just this (and lots of other features i have come to use all the time, can't live w/o it)
the option is on the very bottom of the Events preference panel -> New Tabs tab in the TabMixPlus options window (see pic) -
The app tabs set up easily, but do not reappear when Firefox is reopened.
Creating app tabs is simple. However, they do not reappear the next time you start up Firefox. That means you have to recreate them each time Firefox is started up. The instructions say they reappear each time Firefox is started and only disappear when unpinned.
Well supposedly is not all that clear cut.
App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work. '''Tools > Options > Privacy''' you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

Do not include you home page in your app-tabs they are two different things. If you did include your home page in your app0-tabs you would have two copies in your tabs bar.
To create a app-tab right click on the tab and choose "pin tab". If you have an extension like "Multiple Tab Handler" you can can select several tabs at once and pin them at once.
If you don't trust supposedly, and I sure don't, then bookmark all of your app-tabs to a bookmark folder so you will be able to recreate them again but opening the folder into tabs and then making those tabs app-tabs.
I already indicated in my first reply the problems you may have by closing them or in opening another page from the same site. Pages from other sites will open in another tab from bookmarks and from links. Pages identified in the AwesomeBar will open in the currently active tab no matter what as the Ctrl and Shift keys do nothing for items in the AwesomeBar. Use of CCleaner will remove app-tabs, I don't use it, but it is the cause of some complaints.

I don't include app-tabs in the following but you will probably learn a lot more about tabbed browsing then the above articles, which are restricted on what can be included, and who they are addressed too. There are no such restrictions on my own web pages.

App Tabs change their 'home' page after browsing
Hi, I have set a few App Tabs on the browser. They are set for the 'home' page for that site. I browse the site from the App Tab. When I return to that site later, again using the App Tab, it does not go back to the 'home' page of that site. It remembers the last page I browsed on. I always want the App Tab to open on the 'home' page of that site. Thanks.
I presume "when I return to that site later" means, when Firefox is restarted:
Firefox will remember where you were at for the app-tab in the next session, so that is explained. They are functioning correctly.
You cannot open a link/bookmark to another site in an app-tab, but you can from the location bar or if the link or bookmark involves JavaScript. You can go to the bottom of the pile of your tabs (oldest at bottom, newest at top) by selecting the lowest tab. After doing that recheck to see if there are more lower down as you can only see 15 webpages at a time in a tab drop-down.
There is nothing to stop you from deleting an app-tab either accidentally or on purpose.
What I do is save all my app-tabs into a bookmark folder. Every once in while, daily at least, I wipe out all my app-tabs and do something else or simply restore all of my app-tabs but they are regular tabs. But I have the "Multiple Tab Handler" extension and I select all of the tabs I want as app-tab from the first already selected and extend selection with the Shift key to the last I want and pin those as app-tabs in one shot. A few more I will read like the weather and dismiss them. This way they are nice clean tabs with nothing else in their tab history. (you right-click on the back/forward button to see tab history)

Automatically Clearing a Form When Document Closes
I'm trying to find a way to automatically clear the information in a form without using a reset button. Our forms are used by many individuals, and this way the form will be cleared of data when the next person goes to use it. These forms will be uploaded to the internet on our website. I am sure there is a way to script it, but since I am a new designer user, I haven't been able to figure it out. Thank you!
When we upload the form to our website, it is a static or dynamic pdf. When you click on the form, it will open in reader, or the full version of acrobat (whatever the user is using). Unless you remember to click on the reset button to clear the form, the form retains the data you have entered when you close the file. Next time you go the website, and again click to open the form, the data will still be there. There is no back end to this form - we do not want the data to be saved, just printed or submitted by email. I have tried this from workstations with just reader, and I still get the same results. Thanks for your input.

The benefit of app tab is to save this buttons to use them again later on.
when i close the browser they are lost.Thank you so so much! I would have never thought to move apps around on my iPad (truth be told the newsstand app is the most useless for me, I wish I could just delete it) and was super happy that iOS 7 allows you finally put that sucker in a file along with the rest of the junk apps I never use.
Solved he issue! I can upload videos to my vlc for iOS player once again! -
For the last week or so, every time I click on the Home icon for my homepage previously closed tabs from previously closed sessions all reappear. I have cleared the history and closed Firefox over and over without those tabs but they keep reappearing whenever I click the Home icon. How do I get this to stop?

I accidentally closed a tab. Just before I cleared my history. How do I reopen the tab?
While on a website I was closing useless tabs. Accidentally I closed the wrong tab. Sadly I deleted my ENTIRE history so how do I reopen the tab?
If the tab isn't in History > Recently Closed Tabs and you also cleared cache and history then that URL is lost.
