Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?

FF 27.0.1 on Linux Mint 16 XFCE, up to date.
I have my Preferences set to 'Show my home page'.
Every time I close FF with the X in the top left corner, it comes up and asks me "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?". I check the box not to be asked next time, and have tried both Save and Quit, and just Quit. When I open the browser again it seems to randomly decide whether to open all the tabs I had last time, or sometimes (rarely) just my home page tabs.
I don't want it to open all the tabs I had open, and I don't want the question every time I quit FF. I've used FF for years with XP, but I am new to Mint.

Does setting the "warnon" prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to false has any effect?
*browser.tabs.warnOnClose
*browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs
*browser.warnOnQuit
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

  • As soon as I open Firefox, it asks if I want to save my tabs for the next session and then quits (not a crash).

    Mac OS X, Firefox v3.6. I've disabled all of my extensions and went as far as to uninstall and reinstall the application. Still having the same issue. The program automatically tries to close itself after opening.

    Continue to have this issue. It seems almost as if there is a script waiting for Firefox to open which closes the application.
    If I open in normal mode, Firefox just closes after 2 seconds after opening - no crash report. If I open in safe mode, I get the prompt to save tabs for next session before it closes.
    Anyone else have this problem? Occurs across multiple user accounts on the same machine in Snow Leopard.
    I've even tried installing Firefox 4 beta - same problem.

  • The Nordins - Options for the next time you need a customer!

    The headline is from an email we received: "Verizon - Options for the next time you need customer service!"  Well, we changed it, just slightly.   Well, on 6/20/2013 we had the TV down; it was said to be a piece of video equipment that went down.  We could not get anything on the TV until next day.  The sad part is that we were watching the Heat-Spurs game and it quit just 1min-36sec. prior to the end of the game.  Then, we could not watch our daily Netflix show we watch every evening before going to bed.  So in calling twice, we found out about the video equipment problem.  But typically Verizon, they replaced the equipment and thought nothing about the customer that actually lost the reception!!  How about crediting us for the time "off the air".  You can't have the cake and eat it too.  Then, Verizon sends us emails about the bill, customer service, etc. but there is no way for us to email them back!!  Why do they think my time is less valuable then theirs; having to call their customer service and to wait a long time for answer by someone in "God knows where country".  What does that tell you about the customer service commitment!  It's like, yeah you are one of the slob users that keep paying the bills for lousy service.   Perhaps it's time for all of us to switch off our TV's for one or two days a week and not pay them for "our time off the grid".  Having some couple of thousand TV's off twice a week may shake them up a bit.   So here is my idea.  Establish an email address where we can reach anyone in customer service directly, in our own state, not somewhere 1000 and more miles away.  Additionally, if something is down, does not matter what time of the day, stand up for it and give the customer their credit due.  Thanks for reading

    It all depends how you use it.
    Once the initial break in period is over, like the first year, it should run just fine as long as you don't abuse it, don't let it overheat, keep the dust out etc.
    Do get the AppleCare as it's very expensive to repair a Mac.
    Some tips:
    1: Avoid using the built in keyboard and trackpad as much as possible. I know what's the use, but it's these too area's, the USB ports and the Superdrive that experience the most wear and tear.
    2: If you do use the built in keyboard, take off your watch and jewelry, it scratches. mars, reacts with the case and discolors it.
    3: The keybord is a bit weak compared to regular PC desktop keyboards, so use a wireless one, but have a wired one around for emergencies. The keyboard collects dirt, grime, hair, dust etc, underneath, you might want to have a light cover over the keys but still let air get underneath.
    4: Be gentle with the audio ports and the Superdrive, don't use your computer for watching DVD's. The Superdrive is important for recovering the machine with the installer disk which also must be well taken care of.
    5: A GOOD case, like a MacTruck or a padded one will absorb the shocks if dropped while transporting.
    6: The biggest concern is other people, they just don't handle things with care because it's not theirs and they are ignorant or even spiteful of the money you spent to have a quality machine.
    7: Clone your boot drive to a external regularly, in fact have two, one staggered back in time a few weeks, it's hold option bootable in case your hard drive dies. Free cloning software like Carbon Copy Cloner or the commercial version Superduper does the job well.

  • Any chance you guys are working on vector support for the next update?

    Any chance you guys are working on vector support for the next update? It would definitely make working with these retina displays much easier.

    While waiting, there's this manual solution i proposed here : http://fr32c.free.fr/Am/index.php?post/2013/09/12/Muse-Inline-SVG but you'll have to translate the article. At the bottom are some files to test.

  • I have lost my tabs for the umpteenth time. Session restore only works if your kids hit the restore button. Otherwise, a new session gets started. FRUSTRATED!!!

    Even though I have my settings set to the "correct" settings to hopefully prevent the lost tabs problem, you still have to be careful in order to prevent the loss of tabs. I have lost all my research again and again... If for whatever reason FF gets closed the wrong way, and then the "restore session" button doesn't get clicked when you re-open, and then you happen to open any further tabs, suddenly you can never get back to all your previous tabs.
    I have scoured the internet for solutions to this problem, looked for ways to get them back, and ways to prevent this from occurring. I Have set my browser to the recommended settings. I have tried to restore my sessions. I don't understand WHY cannot the tab feature be made easy to save????
    I get all these tabs set up... and then, WHAM! suddenly they evaporate, never to be seen again.
    love the Tab system. It's visual. It's relatively easy to navigate. I don't forget they are there, and they are effortless to create...unlike bookmarks.
    Why in the world can't I give a tab group a name and then have it be permanently available, like a group of bookmarks that I can create and access at will?
    Why must it be that I have to search the internet for ways to restore them, and then the recommendations are geared only to computer literate people able to extract them from the bowels of their computer memory in some obscure and confusing procedure?!?
    I have looked at and installed numerous add-ons in the hopes of solving this problem and have not found a satisfactory solution. It seems like there are tons of other people out there who wish for this exact same thing, What is the hang-up with this???

    Firefox has the ability to bookmark all open tabs, in each window separately. It's not a "session manager", but if it's the same set of tabs you want opened at the same time all the time, you might consider using that feature.<br />
    Right-click a tab and select '''Bookmark All Tabs...''' and then give the folder a name. When you want to open all those tabs simply middle-click that folder or right-click that folder and select '''Open All in Tabs'''.
    As far as the "problem" you described...... <br />
    # You really should have a separate logon user account for your kids or for each of the other users of that PC, so they wouldn't be using your Firefox installation. That is a basic feature in Windows that goes back to the days of Windows 2000.
    # Firefox saves the previous session, but if that session isn't restored during the "current session" it is gone. That's the way it is designed to work. A temporary session save feature.
    # To save a session or multiple session try using a "session manager" extension to "extend" what comes with Firefox. Here's two extensions with a session manager feature for your consideration. <br />

  • When I clos Firefox 4.0 having multiple tabs open, Ff does not ask to store those tabs to open them the next time I start Ff. In the old version 3.* that possibility was there.

    When I closed Ff in version 3.*, Ff asked me if the open tabs should be stored to ben opened the next time. So I never lost my session.
    In Ff 4.0.1 that question is not asked. So I lose all open pages in all tabs.
    What can I do to get that possibility in Ff 4.*?

    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"

  • Every sync gets "You are about to synchroniz​e your calendar for the first time" - Help !!!

    I am on a MBP with the Tour and was able to successfully sync iCal and Address Book with BB. But everytime I try to sync, I get the " You are about to synchronize our Calendar data for the first time." with the options to "Replace Device Data", "Merge Data" or Cancel. Has anyone seen this and know how to fix? Replacing data makes it impossible to update Mac with changes on BB.  
    Please help! 

    Create a backup of your iCal and your BlackBerry.
    Then create a test Calendar event on the BlackBerry, in iCal then test another synchronization once again.
    The first time sync prompt usually occurs when it does not detect entries in either the BlackBerry or iCal Calendar.

  • Re making your calendar for the first time

    Hi, I am having a little trouble figuring just how to create my first calendar using photos from my i photo library. I know that it most likely is a relatively simple process, but in as I am a first timer, I would be most grateful for any and all advice on how to create a calendar from start to finish using my photos. I must admit sometimes I have difficaulty understanding and putting together in my head what the instructions are trying to convey to the reader, so your patience will be much appreciated. You may if you wish, email me at ****@*****.** with your advice or assistance. Thank you so much for your time and patience.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Select a group of photos that you want in your calendar ( you can always add more later by dragging them from the iPhoto event window on the right to the Calendar album on the left) and click calendar in the tool bar at the bottom (if it is not there go to the view menu ==> show in toolbar and check it)
    You will thereby create a calendar project in the source pane to the left and open it - select a theme and start dragging photos where you want them in the calendar
    Once it is like you want it click buy
    Or do it the easy way and use the online Apple Tutorial - http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-gifts-14

  • Should You Buy An iPhone Now, Or Wait For The Next One?

    Great article by HuffPost Tech.
    The most common thing I get asked whenever I tell anyone I'm a tech writer is some version of the question: "Should I get a new iPhone now, or should I wait until the next one comes out?" It is as though my business card should read not "Technology Writer," and instead "iPhone Psychic"
    Not that I am not happy to prognosticate! And in that spirit, here's a look at the questions on everyone's mind: Should I buy an iPhone now? And if not now, when?
    First, let me say that I am fascinated by the peculiar kind of panic that I encounter in people I meet who are deciding on a purchase date for their next Apple phone. I call it the iSenberg Uncertainty Principle: Potential iPhone buyers exist in a constant state of anxiety, perpetually worrying that purchasing an iPhone on any given day will mean that they will miss out on the inevitably cooler version with the mind-blowing new features soon down the road. The Cupertino Sword of Damocles constantly dangles over their heads, threatening to pierce them with unhipness and iShame.
    Here is one solid piece of advice I can offer to help you avoid the Sword: Do not buy any new iPhone until September. Apple has an annual media conference each September, and every blog with the word 'Mac' in the title is reporting that Steve Jobs is going to do his black turtleneck thing and introduce some kind of new iPhone there. The September Media conference is generally used to present the new iPods, but as All Things Digital reports, Apple plans to "commandeer" the conference for its official iPhone announcement.
    Apple is long overdue to release its new iPhone anyway, if history is any indication. Look at this handy little timeline:
    June 2007: original iPhone released
    June 2008: iPhone 3G released
    June 2009: iPhone 3Gs released
    June 2010: iPhone 4 released
    June 2011: Nothing!
    In other words, the 5th generation iPhone is already a month late, so it makes sense that the rumors are swirling. Apple's tardiness can be explained by the fact they've actually already released two iPhones in 2011 -- the Verizon iPhone in February and the unlocked iPhone 4 in June. Their schedule is all screwy, like a traveler trying to get over jet lag. But all signs point to them getting right with a September Apple iPhone release.
    So what jaw-dropping new feature will this iPhone boast? We're hearing that the "iPhone 4S," as it is rumored to be called, won't be the dramatic re-imagining that many of us have come to expect with each new iPhone release. Tech blogThis Is My Next thinks that it will be thinner and lighter, and that it will run on a new chip; the New York Times thinks that it will be the same dimensions as the iPhone 4 but that it will be cheaper. Bloomberg agrees with This Is My Next on the chip and adds that the rear-facing camera will upgrade to 8 megapixels from 5 megapixels.
    Now, even if you're just a normal, non-geek iPhone user, who doesn't care if the rear-facing camera doubles its megapixel count, or if Apple has changed the manufacturer of its data processors, or whatever, you still need to at least wait for the alleged iPhone announcement, and here's why: if history is any indicator, the introduction of a newer iPhone model is accompanied by a drop in price of older iPhone models. When the iPhone 3GS was announced, the price of the iPhone 3G dropped by $100; when the iPhone 4 was announced, the price of an iPhone 3GS also dropped by $100. Even if you know that you're not going to drop $400 on whatever iPhone Apple begins peddling in September, there is no sense in paying more money for an iPhone 4 or 3Gs now when the base price of both seem like locks to drop in two months.
    But before we start fantasizing, how can we be so certain that Jobs is even going to announce an iPhone in September if Apple hasn't so much as indicated such a thing? How do we know that all of these rumors weren't just started by lonely nerds like me and my co-workers emailing each other from our mother's basements, inciting iPhone rumors all on our own?
    Well, first of all, I don't live with my mother; and second of all, the new iPhone rumors have sprung forth from two reliable sources held in high journalistic regard.
    The first is esteemed, award-winning tech journalist John Paczkowski of All Things Digital, who blazed iPhone prognostication trails by predicting back in April that an updated iPhone 4 would be unveiled at the September Apple music Conference and has steadfastly maintained the claim is true through June and into July. In fact, he confirmed as recently as July 5 that a shiny new iPhone looked to be in the early stages of supply chain production, and that people close to the company still believe that the new iPhone would be ready for the Jobs treatment in September.
    So there is Reliable Source One.
    Reliable Source Number Two is the Wall Street Journal, not exactly a one-laptop operation. The paper gives "the end of September" as a target launch date, which squares up with both Paczkowski's prediction of a September announcement and release. This doesn't even mention This Is My Next's separate prediction of a September release, nor 9to5Mac reporting that there are going to be two new iPhones in September, one low-end and high-end. But now we're falling down the rabbit hole and into the basement again, so let's focus:
    There is likely to be a new iPhone in September. It will likely affect the price of all the other iPhones. The iPhones available now -- the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3Gs -- will probably be cheaper in two months. Unless you drop your current iPhone in a pool, a bathtub or a volcano, do not buy an iPhone until Steve Jobs opens his beautiful brilliant mouth at the Apple conference in early September. When the post-turtleneckian dust settles, we'll have a clearer picture of whether or not this rumored new iPhone is worth the money. And then we can talk about--well, whether or not you should buy an iPhone now, or wait until the next one comes out.

    Apple has two prototypes out testing now.  One is a thinner totally redesigned case.  The problem with it is that Foxconn can't seem to build it.  Hence the delay.  The other prototype uses the existing case, but with updated (read dual core) internals.  If they can get production up by September the first phone will be released and will be the iPhone 5.  If they cannot, then the second prototype will be released as the iPhone 4GS.  

  • In Firefox 3.6.13, I've set the Smart Location feature to "Nothing" but the next time I start up Firefox it has reset the location bar to search "Bookmarks" ! This is very annoying that it won't stay set to do nothing.

    I go to "Tools", "Options" and then "Privacy". At the "Location Bar" I set it to "Nothing" and then accept. The next time I restart my laptop from "Sleep", start up Firefox and start typing in a web address in the location bar it shows me the "Bookmark" stuff.

  • Can you have Firefox and IE browsers both at the same time and if so, do you have the choice of choosing one for a default browser?

    I am using IE Explorer now presently. I want to be able to download and install the SEO Blogger tool from Wordtracker but it says that I have to have Firefox as the browser. Since I have everything else already set up under IE, I don't want to have to change all that just so I can download one program.
    Can you help?
    Thanks,
    David Craig

    You can have both browsers installed and running at the same time. You can also choose what one to have as the default browser.

  • What do you do if one of your speakers for the iphone 4s is not working?  how yould you fix it?

    what do you if one of your speakers is not working on an ipone 4s.  how would you fix it?

    If you are referring to the speaker at the bottom, there is only one, the other is a microphone. Otherwise, have you attempted a reset?
    Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
