Firefox 4 does not ask me if I want to save my tabs when I quit. Tried all the suggestions in Firefox Help and still have the problem.

I just got a new MacBook Pro and installed Firefox 4. When I go to quit, I do not get the box that asks if I want to save the tabs before quitting, and they have not been saved. I tried all the Firefox suggestions on the Help Page, and nothing fixed this problem.

You may well be able to restore the tabs even if there is no explicit message on closing that asks you if you wish to restore.
You will be able to change firefox 4 to ask you by changing preferences, I am not sure it is covered in any Knowledge Base article, butit is often mentioned, see for instance: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799856

  • Why does Firefox sometimes ask me if I want to save my tabs when I close, and sometimes it does not? I usually want to save them, so this is a pain. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.5.8

  • Does not ask me if I want to save password

    I have the iMac OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2 and using Safari version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) and when I try to go to my mobile phone and login from computer such as my-tmobile.com I put in the password and does not ask me if I want to save this password or not now or never. I do not get this anymore and want my password stored under my preferences under passwords and it does not add it to here. I sometimes forget my password and if I do I can click on show passwords and put in my computer password and then I can choose which one I want to see them when I forget them. Is there anyway of adding to it if so please send me the steps to add so I can addd these passwords in my preference category.
    Thank you

    This should help you empty what's currently in the trash, but is no guarantee you got everything related to MacKiller off the drive. See Ogelthorpe's link.

  • When I closedown Firefox it does not ask me if a want to "save and close" my tabs. This is something that I use all the time with the older version. Is it still possible to do that?

    In the old version of Firefox I could save all my open tabs when I shutdown Firefox but now with the new version it does not give me that option to save the tabs before closing Firefox.

    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.

  • FireFox is not asking me if i want to save tabs anymore, how can i fix it?

    usually when i exit FireFox with multiple tabs, it asks me if i want to save my tabs, but i think i actudently clicked the box that said not to ask anymore, how do i get it back to asking me??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i checked the box

    You can reset the ''warn'' prefs on the '''about:config''' page via the right-click context menu.

    In Firefox 3 and later you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General|Main > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
    If that option is selected then your pages will already be reopened the next time.
    To get that pop-up dialog you have to select one of the other choices (Show my home page,Show a blank page).

    If that doesn't help you can try a cleaning disc, or a shot of compressed air but chances are good that your optical drive has failed. You can either replace it or buy an inexpensive external unit (but not Apple's as it won't work on macs with a built in drive working or not).

  • I can no longer scroll with the button on my touch pad. Have tried everything on Firefox help and still can't scroll....HELP please.

    I have just updated to the Firefox 4 Beta and from having no problems at all with the previous version I can now no longer scroll. I have reloaded my touch pad drivers and also been onto "about:config" and altered various things suggested by 'firefox help' and still no luck. The scroll button on the touch pad does still work as I can still scroll in Thunderbird and any of the other programs that I use, just not with Firefox any longer. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links and disabled and not available.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed.

  • Firefox 4.1 does NOT ask me if I want to update when I have that item checked, and will NOT tell me what the update version is so I can decide whether or not I want it.

    Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate
    With update settings as follows:
    "Ask me what I want to do" is checked
    Firefox, Add-ons, Search Engines checkboxes are all unchecked
    If I choose "Check for Updates" from the Help menu, I am not told what the update is and am not given a choice about downloading it. It automatically downloads the update and then gives me an "Apply" button. As far as I can tell, there is no way to find out the version number for the update before downloading or installing it. A button that is labeled "Check for Updates" should do only that--CHECK, not download.
    I want to know what the version information is for the update BEFORE anything is downloaded, so I can choose whether or not I want it. That's the way Firefox 3.x worked.
    How can I restore the 3.x behavior regarding updates?

  • Firefox does not ask whether I want to save multiple tabs when I close, and I must sign in to every website every time I go there (even ones that I've been to 100 times). Why? How do I fix this?

    This happened very suddenly. I have gone through Preferences carefully twice, checking all settings. Safari is not giving me similar problems so I assume the problem is with Firefox.

  • I changed a password to a frequesntly used site. Firefox has not asked me if I want to save this new password and I have to keep changing the saved one to the correct one. How do I get it to save the new password?

    I have websites I use for my employer that require a password. The employer requires these be changed periodically. Always before, if I changed the password, about the second or third time I tried to log in and changed the saved password to the correct one, Firefox would ask if I wanted to save the new password. It is not doing this now. How can I get it to save a new password? It keeps putting in the old one.
