Firefox does not offer to save or actually save open tabs on version 3.6.8

Every time I close Firefox, since the last version update, there is no pop-up window that offers to save all open tabs. Also, it does not save any open tabs on it's own either. I want to go back to the previous revision please, if the saving of tabs can not be updated correctly.

Tools > Options > General|Main > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
Tools > Options > General|Main > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" "Show a blank page"
You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries

Firefox does not ask to save tabs and windows on exit

I've done everything suggested in this article:
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+and+windows+on+exit]
Settings in "Options" are ok.
I have no extensions/themes. And the problem is still there on safe mode.
Out of the two files mentioned as possibly corrupted, I deleted formhistory.sqlite but the file sessionstore.js is not in the profile directory when Firefox is closed (as the article suggests... it is there when Firefox is open)

What is the startup setting?
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts"
In Firefox 3 you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General > 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). 
You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu. 
browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How do I save password info for a site when Firefox does not offer to?

Certain sites that require a password I do not remember ever being offered the opportunity to save a password for that site, so it doesn't show up in rejected, and I can find no option to get Firefox to offer to save password info for me...aside from this I have been very pleased with Firefox since i made the switch in Sept...Thank you, a technically challenged grandmother...

If a website doesn't offer to store the password then chances are that it doesn't fill that password either if you use the "Saved Passwords Editor" extension. You can only use that extension in such a case as a reminder in case you forget the password.

When I close Firefox (all tabs) and then reopen later, it does not offer the link to restore my prior tabs, it opens on a blank page, not even a home page v 9.0.1

I "upgraded"/ "updated" firefox to version 9.0.1, there are no newer updates offered. I used to be able to restore my prior session upon opening firefox the next time, now it doesn't even offer that link on the opening page. And it does not open a 'homepage' for firefox, just a blank page, with one empty tab/window, this is not an improvement

Hi glivezey,
Try typing ''about:home'' into the address bar. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and save it as your homepage. If that home page doesn't show up the next time you start Firefox, you should look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.

Firefox does not update propertly. It tells me there maybe another version running on my computer, but there is not. I can no longer click links on my outlook

How do you fix this problem?

Hi shethmeister,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Firefox. Please try these steps to [[troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems]].
Please write back to let us know if this solves your problem.
Thanks!!

Firefox 10.0.2 / Does not offer restore session - Tools/Options lack Startup options choice

After closing Firefox - starting again does not offer a Restore Session option. Tools/Options lacks any choice for startup options.
How do I remedy this problem.

The Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting should still be there.
Can you attach a screenshot of the Tools > Options > General window?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Go to Options>Applications tab > search MPEG Layer 3 audio(audio/mpeg) > use "Save File" option on drop down menu.

Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

To be more clear:
Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?
See [[Clear Recent History]]

Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time when I start it although i have already set it so (on Macbook)

Firefox does not save my tabs and windows from last time, although i have already set it so (on a Macbook) (newest version)

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

Firefox does not save my settings when I reboot

I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I was having problems with Firefox 3.6.16 crashing to the point where it wouldn't work. I uninstalled it and downloaded version 4 but had problems with it hanging all the time. I went through the help section, one of the things I did that was recommended was to delete my sessionstore files and any extra copies. I think there were three of them. I deleted them all but Firefox 4 still was hanging.
I uninstalled 4 and reinstalled 3.6.16 again. Everything seems to be working okay except when I reboot or restart my computer it does not save all of my password logins or any special settings on websites I visit all the time. So every time I start my computer I have to log into all my sites again, and I have a lot of them so this is really a pain. I'm not sure if this has to do with deleting the sessionstore files or not. I checked and I do have one sessionstore file instead of three.
Not sure what else to try. If I leave my computer on I stay logged in to all my sites and my preferences on those sites are maintained. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I have tried to make a backup of the bookmarks file. Renamed the old one and called the backup "bookmarks.html".
The places.sqlite file is not "secured" (there does not exist a "locked" attribute in the general tab on the Mac), so I assume it is not locked.
Nothing seems to work. Possibly I can best uninstall Firefox and try to reinstall it, or does that not solve the problem.
Otherwise I go back to Safari :-)

I selected save password; but firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

I selected save password; but Firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

Firefox will only remember a password if you click the Remember button on the sliding bar at the top that opens when Firefox detects a password. 
If you mean a check box on a web page to remember you then such a choice is stored in a cookie on your computer.
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
See:
* [[Cookies]]
* [[Enabling and disabling cookies]]
* [[Remembering passwords]]

Can not get Firefox to remember a new password. Deleted old one for Password Manager, however it does not ask to save new password. Can't find a solution, please help!

I changed my password for a website, and Password Manager kept putting in my old password. Deleted the password from Manger, however Firefox does not ask me for a new one at all. Checked the help desk, but the solutions are not working either. Restarted computer, nothing. What do I need to do from here?

Hey lydiac,
You could try going to ''Tools > Options > Privacy'' and removing the individual cookie for that site. You can also try going to ''Tools > Options > Security'' and verifying that the site isn't in your exceptions list.
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox v. 8.0.1 does not offer to remember passwords on sites even though I have checked the option to 'remember passwords for sites' - I am not in private browsing mode. how can i fix this?

google chrome DOES ask; mozilla firefox does not.
It has some memorized passwords, but all are left over from previous versions of firefox.

Adobe Reader plugin does not allow to save files

When pdf files are opened inside firefox using the Adobe plugin 10.1.12.15, I am not able to save them to disk. The "Save button" appears on the bottom of the screen on hovering, but clicking it does not offer any action. Neither does CRT-SHIFT-S or displaying the Adobe menu bar and pressing "Save as..." from there.
Restarting of the browser sometimes helps.
Any tips? And no, I do not want to save pdf files as the first option. I want the opened by default in Firefox and save them from there when I need/want to do this.

Solved it. Problem seemed to have been a crashed Acrobat process. Just kill all Acrobat tasks in the task manager, reload the link in the browser and the Save button now works.
