Do not load pinned tabs on launch until selected - config not working

When I pin tabs I do not want them to load upon re-launch until selected
Looking through this Forum I see :
These related prefs can be found on the about:config page.
browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
However even when both are set to : false (which is default setting)
all my pinned tabs get loaded upon next launch which slows down launch.
any suggestions ?

You would have to set the <b>browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand</b> pref to true to disable loading pinned tabs (pinned tabs are restored by default)

  • Have tried to use app tabs, but on right click, only "pin tab" shows

    Using vista, installed ff4 today.
    When trying to use app tab only "pin tab" shows on right click. It works just like it did in 3.6.

    That is the app tab feature. You pin the tab, and it will remain open, even after you close your browser and reopen it again.

  • Gmail on a pinned tab not loading on at startup

    Firefox version - 37.0.1
    OS - windows 7 64bit
    addons - only adblock plus, but disabled on the gmail.com
    I have this problem since a few months ago.
    So i have gmail on a pinned tab. Sometimes when i start the browser, it's not loading the gmail. I get the loading bar, which not begin to fill up. Down on this page i have a link if i want to load the basic html page. If i click on this, the basic html page loads, and if i click on this page to load the normal, default page, it's load normally.
    If i don't do this, but only press the refresh button, is not help. If i close the browser and open again, usually still wrong.
    But this thing doesnt happen every time. The gmail usually load ok. I would say, its wrong 2 times from 10, then i click basic-html, then normal, and its alright.
    To solve this problem, i uninstalled the Firefox, and deleted the Firefox folders from the appdata local and roaming, downloaded a new version and installed from scratch. I still get this problem. Sometimes.
    I dont have antivirus, proxy, firewall, internet security software.
    I searched on the internet, and i see others have same problem too, but i didnt found solution. I dont use any addons, other than adblock plus, but i set to dont activate on gmail, and its button is greyed out.
    There is a settings to prevent this behaviour, or this is a bug and can hope for a fix?

    I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.

  • "Don't load tabs until selected" ... Where is the setting so that it affects the tabs when I click "Open all in tabs" from History?

    I am trying to reload all the tabs from history, it's a couple thousand. I am not concerned about system RAM I have 16GB. I know it will be slow, I'm not looking for any warnings or questions about why I have to reload that many tabs or how to work with the restore.bak sessionstore files.
    The question I need an answer to is, "What setting do I need to change so that when I reload multiple tabs, it doesn't say "connecting" on all of them even though I have already selected "Don't load tabs until selected"

    I think we both understand what you want. And we're both saying we are not aware of any built-in way to do this.

  • "Don't load tabs until selected" option no longer there?

    I have installed a new version of Firefox (long overdue) from version 17 to 31. I was able to customize everything to my liking after some fiddling around but one setting remains that I cannot rectify. Firefox's options menu no longer seems to include the "Don't load tabs until selected" checkbox as can be seen in this screenshot

    (https://superuser.com/questions/433096/how-do-i-make-firefox-13-load-all-my-tabs-on-startup-or-when-resuming-reload)
    This wouldn't be a problem for me if the option was off by default, but it seems to be on. I have tried to find the correct technical setting for this in the about:config menu as per suggestion of one of the threads on the Firefox Support forum.
    (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/987254?esab=a&as=aaq)
    Unfortunately, "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" - which I have set to "true" - does not seem to work, even after restarting Firefox, nor does "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground".
    Please help! I will be very, very grateful if all my tabs load immediately and at the same time again upon opening my browser; a practice many users over the years seem to disagree with.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Why does my first pinned tab always load as the google play store when I don't have that saved as a pinned tab? This happens to every site pinned in first tab.

    This happens no matter how many tabs I have pinned and no matter what site is supposed to be in that first pinned tab. If I close that tab and close and reopen firefox, the next tab in line that became first now loads as the google play store. I can see that for a couple seconds it starts to load the correct site. Then it loads the google play store instead.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Links from pinned tab do not open in new tab, why?

    When I open a link from a pinned tab the link opens in the pinned tab not in a new tab. This just started happening did I somehow turn off or on something? How do I get the tabs working the way they should?

    My mouse doesn't have a middle button. Interesting that a pinned tab isn't protected unless you have an extension because until two days ago my pinned tabs were protected. Am I the only one who could do this?
    thanks for trying to help.

  • Is it possible to not load the tabs opened from a bookmark folder?

    After I load 10 or so bookmarks by right-clicking a bookmark folder then clicking on "Open all in tabs" I want the opened tabs to do what the current "don't load tabs until selected" option does and not load until I click on them.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    To explain more about my situation.
    Target database has the dump files, where as the source database (cloud) doesn't have access to the target database.
    However, I can request the target DB DBA team to run the par files and provide me the output like a SQL file which I can take and run it in my source database.
    I got the metadata the same way, but is there any way I could get the data from the dump files on the target DB without actually accessing it? My question might sound weird, but please let me know.
    <
    1. export from the source into a dumpfile. You can do this on the source database and then copy the file over to your local database or you can do this from a local database if you have a database link defined on the local database that points to the source database.  In the second case, your dumpfile will be created on your local database.
    >
    How can i access the dump using the database link?

  • Don't load tabs until selected and then load with refresh (or skip cache) [Firefox 19]

    Hi there,
    I use Firefox 19 with the option "Don't load tabs until selected" (in Options/Tabs). It's a neat option but when the tab reloads, it doesn't refresh the page but just reloads it at the state when the browser last closed.
    With Firefox 3.6, the addon Bar Tab provides the same option (because it was not an in-built option in FF yet) but reloads the page with a refresh so it is up-to-date.
    How can I achieve this in Firefox 19, reloading with a true refresh or by automatically skipping the cache?
    Thanks for the help.

    That is how it is implemented in current Firefox versions.<br />
    With this setting only the memory cache will be used.

  • How Do I Pin A Tile To My New Tab Page, Instructions On Here Do Not Work.

    These new FF updates are going to drive me to drink. It's a simple question, one would think, yet I cannot find the answer. FF29 has "tiles", I suppose they are called, when you click on "new tab page". At one point, I had them all on there...how, I don't remember.
    Now, my "tiles" are disappearing. I have changed NOTHING. How do I re-add the websites I want to those tiles?
    Before someone gives me the generic answer with the link, I will tell you that I already went to this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    Those instructions do not work. I do not have any little pin in those squares. When I go to a website that I usually go to, the only option I get is "Pin Tab" but that only adds a tab at the top of the browser window, it does NOT add it to the tiles, like I want.
    I've tried the "Show All Bookmarks" route, and tried to drag the bookmark to a tile, it does NOT work.
    There are 9 tiles. If I want to change them around, or re-add the 4 that have mysteriously disappeared today, HOW do I do that? Again, those blank tiles do NOT show a "pin" anywhere. They were set up, then they started to disappear. Again, I've changed NOTHING. It should not be this difficult to add a website to my tiles on my new tab page.

    What troubleshooting information would you like. I posed a question, you tell me what you would like to see.
    I know how to open my about:config, this isn't my first time on the internet.
    You said: "You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to see if it still has the default about:newtab value."
    Yes, it does. What else would you like to know so that this can be fixed?
    I also stated in my very first post that the link you just linked to, (that I also linked to so everyone was aware of what link I'm talking about), I already tried and it doesn't work. Do you guys even read what we put up or do you just hand out random, generic answers?

  • My Firefox quit working. I threw it in trash and downloaded new version. It will not work. I get message that firefox cannot load tabs. What can I do?

    Firefox has been loading slowly the past week. It hung up today. I closed it and upon reopening it gave error message: "Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page." It screened an option to eliminate one or more tabs the two available were: "Window 1" and "about blank". I could do nothing with either. The other choice was to restore session and that did not work. I trashed the Firefox folder from my Applications folder and downloaded new version of Firefox. When I open it I get the same message. I have rebooted computer and downloaded new Firefox version twice. Can't make it work. I am using a MAC with 10.6.8 OS.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • My pinned tabs are not saved. Changed the settings still does not work?

    This changed before upgrading to the new version of FRFX. I cannot save my pinned tabs, nor does Firefox open to the last tabs open. Tried to change Settings...still does not work.
    I have a new iMac 3.4, i7, 16g for video editing. Its running LION 10.7.2

    Well that was odd, decided to check addons and started firefox in safe mode and my pinned tabs were there so restarted it to disable addons one by one but before I could do anything my pinned tabs were back in place. Lets hope it lasts.

  • My pinned tabs are not saved in Firefox 9

    I updated firefox yesterday to 9.01 and now my pinned tabs are not saved when I reopen firefox. I had hoped the days of having umpteen problems on each update were gone now there is a little one every couple of weeks but no, it's still a pain.
