Firefox opens all the popup windows closed last time

I open Firefox. Then a window and then tabs. Now some of the sites like bank sites open popups, sometimes more than one, to let users login. Also some of the sites like Opensubtitles.org open Ad popups. So it becomes numerous pop-ups even if the browsing duration is as short as 1 hour.
I simply click those popup windows by clicking on the X button. There's no File->Exit and neither is there a File->Exit for the parent tab unless I want to exit from the Firefox itslef.
So, after I close final/last tab of Firefox and eventually exit, then most of the times when I reopen Firefox it opens all the popups I had opened again. Even if the last tab to be closed was entirely unrelated to any of those pop-up windows or parent tabs.

Make that "Firefox ->Preferences -> General -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is not selected as this is not the default.
Basically this setting will make Firefox start with whatever windows and tabs that were last open when a user closes Firefox by way of File ->Quit/Exit as if Firefox was never closed.

The new Firefox opens all the old tabs it closed with, when it starts. I'd rather just start a new session. How can I make that the default setting?

The new Firefox re-opens all the tabs it closed with; and, I'd rather just start a new session, as the default setting. How can I do this? It would make it easier on me, the machine, and the Internet feed, not to reload automatically a bunch of tabs that were just closed. There must be someway to fix this. This happens on my brother's Windows computer, as well; and, it's running Firefox 4. Thanks for your help.

How do i get firefox to open with the same window size every time, even if the last instance I had open had a different window size because I resized it??

My firefox opens new windows with a size that equals the current window I have open, or if I have no window open, the last window I closed. I would like to have it open windows the same size every time, regardless of what size the current window is, or what size the last window I closed was. I cannot find a setting or addin to do this anywhere. I have resizer which lets me change the size, but it is annoying that I can't have a default size for windows being opened. I open windows in new windows, not tabs.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

How can i get all the tabs i had last time?

when i closed my browser and all tabs, then opened the browser it didn't restore my session or give the option to restore it, i have restore tabs from last time checked. I really need to restore that session, there were very important tabs that i don't remember the addresses for, and they aren't in history because i didn't load some of them for a long time. Is there any way to restore?

Hi bncase, how long were you keeping the important tabs open? You may well have backups of sessionstore.js and/or sessionstore.bak which contain at least some of the tabs. You might be able to restore them to a different location and take a peek inside.
Another possibility is to try the "Previous Versions" feature. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions When you right-click either sessionstore.bak or sessionstore.js and choose Properties you may find files available on the Previous Versions tab. Since I find system restore to be somewhat unreliable, it's probably a good idea to back up any current files you might want to load again before restoring any of those previous versions. As always, make sure Firefox is closed before restoring, or your changes may quickly be overwritten.

Safari opens in a different window position each time it starts.

I have multiple desktops and my web browsers, Safari and Firefox both open in the same desktop. If I position Firefox in a particular position, it opens in that position every time. Safari will open wherever it wants. At the top under the menu bar one time. On the bottom of the screen the next. Or anywhere in between. The window size stays the same, just screen position changes. and it's totally random. And it's the only app that does this. It's a very minor issue but it does become annoying after awhile. I'm running Mavericks on this computer but it does this on my Mountain Lion computers as well. So it's had this issue for a few versions. I'm pretty sure it's only started this in the most recent versions.
Has anyone else noticed this and if so, is there a way to get it to open in the same window position every time like it used to?

See if deleting the cache helps..
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that does't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

When close firefox and reopen, it open all the last webs and popups visited today

I use firefox to work. I'm web developer and in the firefox have instlalled 3 complements and 8 plugs.
When use Firefox, and in different tabs open: GMAIL, web normaly, other web, google, conection with my server plesk, ...
Normaly use 6 to 8 tabs in differents sites, some moments firefox run very slow, at the moment, in one web, it stop, dont run and response.
Than, I close firefox, pause 10 seconds to firefox service stop and reopen, it open all the last webs and popups visited today.
Sometimes, it even opens popups that had been closed for some time ago, sometimes it crashes.
In the same day, it success two or three times.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
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).

Firefox opens all tabs that were open when last closed

I am running Linux Mint 16 with FF 28.0. FF sometimes opens all the previous tabs I had open, rather than the tabs I have set to open as my home page.
I have tried all the solutions I can find here or elsewhere on the web, including the about:config settings, resetting FF, uninstalling FF and re-installing, checking four user.js (could it be something different in Linux?) file, etc.
I did this:
(3) Double-click browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and change the 1 to a 0 (a zero) and OK that.
from this thread with the same problem:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/976041
and FF just re-starts with all the previous tabs open.

This can happen if Firefox didn't close properly the previous time.
Does this still happen with browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes set to 0 as that should bring up the about:sessionrestore page to choose which tabs and windows to restore?
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

In Firefox 5, New Windows open in the same window even though the options are set to open in a new window.

I have the options set to open new windows in a new tab. However, they do not.
For example, as I click on the various options for support on Firefox.com, each opens in the same window. Similarly for Yahoo. If I bring up the news page and click on various links, they all open in the same window. How do you get them to open in new windows?

Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Hi James - Thanks for the info! This has been bugging me, too. I'm going to uncheck the Restore Windows box. Agree with you that it should be app specific, tho. I like opening to the last page I was working on in pages and numbers. Hope it doesn't change that!

Director automatically open all the links of webpage in the new window

hi
i want to design the application in director .when user enter
the URL of any website then all links of web page open in the new
window....
for example ..if user type "
www.Google.com" then all links(hypertext) of Google webpage
automatically open in the new /separate window ...
reply me how can i do this
regards farhana

Just off the top of my head you could use getNetText(URL) and
netTextResult(netID) to get the HTML source of the web page as a
string, parse the string for <a> tags, extract the href
attribute to create a list of links, then use gotoNetPage using
_new as a target to spawn a bunch of browser windows with those
links. IMHO the result would be like getting spammed with dozens if
not hundreds of popups but there is no reason why it wouldn’t
work.

Hi weaver15,
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
I think this is probably the page you are looking for. If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps

Is there a way to have Firefox open all of the links on a page without having to click on them individually?

I frequently visit pages where I end up clicking through to all, or almost all of the links on that page (e.g., a chapter list page). I would like to just tell Firefox open all of the links on the page, each in it's own tab.
Many thanks in advance!

How do I make a new tab open all the say to the right, as it used to, instead of just to the LEFT of the last tab?

I have 6 tabs set up and have become very accustomed to the position they’re in. When doing a specific task for my job, a 7th tab opens up. It has always opened all the way to the right. When I’m done reading the information it gives me, I just quickly “x” it out to return working. Yesterday I noticed that this 7th tab was not opening up all the way to the right. It was opening in the next-to-last position to the right. This might not seem like a problem, but when I go to close it, I’m so used to x-ing out the one to the far right, that I’ve been x-ing out a tab that I need.
So the question: How can I get the new tab that opens to appear all the way on the right again? Again, this is not adding a new tab. If I add a new tab to search for something, it does open all the way to the right.
== I rebooted my computer a few days ago...

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''
