Dont save the windows and tabs that i have running when i close it

When I close FF4 I dont get the pop up where I was asked if I wanna save the windows and tabs.
My session is not saved when I start FF4 again (later) I get only 1 blank page and not the all the windows and tabs I had running before closing it..

Firefox 4 automatically save the previous session without asking, but it doesn't automatically restore the previous session when you launch Firefox. The '''about:home''' homepage has a link for '''Restore Previous Session''' or you can use History > Restore Previous Session to restore it.

  • Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

    In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

    ''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
    Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
    '''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    * clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
    There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
    * Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
    * You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
    * "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

  • Why doesn't firefox save my windows and tabs from last time ?

    i have gone to tools, options, then under the general tab i set firefox to start up : I set show my windows and tabs from last time.
    When i closed firefox and then started it again it didn't work.
    What can be done to resolve this issue please?

    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

  • I would like to duplicate the folders and apps that I have set up on my iPhone to my iPad.  Is there a quick way of doing this without going through the whole process again manually?

    You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer.  It should recreate all your folders.  It can't hurt anything to try.

  • Is there a way to use Sync to restore the windows and tab groups I had on my previous computer?

    I recently set up a new computer. Signing into Sync restored my bookmarks but not my Firefox windows and tab groups. I can get a LIST of "Tabs From Other Devices" to show up, but what I want to do is to restore the session from my previous computer. Is it possible to do this with Sync? I thought that this was supposed to be one of the things it was for.

    You can copy the sessionstore.js file in the current Firefox profile folder to an USB stick and copy that file to the profile folder on the other computer.

  • Hi! Windows 7 users can´t open the pdfs and jpegs that I have included into sent e-mails. How shall I resolve the problem?

    Hi!
    Prolems started after uploading the Lion in March. Now at least Windows 7 users can´t open any pdfs or jpegs that I have included into sent e-mails. They can see that they are included but can´t open them. What can I do?

    It's a bug in Outlook. Each version of Outlook has its own unique bug that prevents it form displaying email that didn't come from another Outlook user. Apple has attempted to dumb-down Mail and make it more complex in order to work around these issues, but Microsoft keeps changing the bugs in each version of Outlook instead of making an Internet Email standard compliant email client.
    Are they able to right-click on the image and save it from the contextual menu?
    Otherwise, make sure Send windows friendly, attachments at end of message are checked and send plain text.
    Or, zip the attachments and send that way.
    There is also a program called Attachment Tamer that many people have found useful.

  • Every time I try to print from word.mac it tells me that it can't save the file because I don't have permission then it closes the file. what do I do?

    Everytime I try to print a doc from word.mac it tells me that it can't save the file because I don't have permission then closes the file. What do I do to change this?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • How can I save the window size so that when I restart Firefox the size of the window is appropriate for my portrait mode monitor?

    I have a 2 monitor setup with my second monitor in portrait mode. Whenever I start Firefox (on my 2nd screen where I always open it) I always have to resize the window so it goes down to show more info. I cannot figure out how to reset any type of default window size for the height and width parameters.

    Hi,
    From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
    You  need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then,  you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used.  See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm.  This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the  possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you  how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of  RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example  API's your developer can use to call the help.
    Greet,

  • Firefox 4: How can I exchange the toolbar and tabs places (to have them as they were in Firefox 3.6)?

    I do not like that the toolbar is now put below the URL and the opened tabs are above it. After years of using the other way around mode I find it crazy to change the places of the two items in Firefox 4. So I would like to come baclk to the old setting.

  • I have an ipod touch and dont know the password and also no longer have the computer used to sync the ipod. How can I do a factory reset to start over completely?

    I have an IPod touch and it had a password on it. I cant remember the password and do not have the computer anymore that I used to sync to iTunes. The message that I get is "iTunes could not connect to iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must eneter your passcode  on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes."
    How can I go back to factory setting (knowing that I will lose what is on the IPod) and use a different iTunes account.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • After a reboot, I hit restart instead of restore - can I get my windows and tabs back?

    My computer did an automatic reboot to update windows. I meant to restore my windows and tabs but must have hit restart instead of restore. Can I still restore them, maybe using the history?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • [S] Firefox hangs on KDE install after all windows and tabs are closed

    When I launch Firefox from KDE, the process hangs around consuming ~70-100% CPU of at least one core after closing all windows and tabs. We have to kill the process manually or say File->Quit and issue the real exit command instead of just closing all tabs. I ran strace and found that Firefox is poll()ing something as fast as it can after all windows are destroyed, causing the CPU increase. Anyone know how I can fix this? I've already tried a different profile and pacman -Rnd to no effect.

    I've solved this by removing gtk-qt-engine; without gtk-qt-engine, firefox behaves as expected.

  • Browser oppen and minimize fine but webpages do not. how do i get it to open to the size of the browser and stay that way with out zooming all the time

    I can not get a webpage to stay the size of the browser with out zooming in every time i go to a web page. With out zooming it just stay small with white on both sides. How do i get it to stay the size of the browser and stay that way Have no trouble with my internet explorer doing this on my new computer. or fire fox on my old computer.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

  • In the previous version of Firefox I could close the window and still have my tabs intact when I reopened it. Why does FF 4 closes all tabs and doesn't give me an option to save them? (And if it does, where do I change the setting?)

    In the previous version of Firefox, before closing a window with tabs still open, it asked if I would like to "save and close", "close all tabs" or "cancel" the operation. FF4 will just alert me that I am closing those tabs and ask me is I want to continue, without giving the option to save my research for a later use.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
