Firefox Updated and As Usual is Screwed up, Not restoring tabs.

My Firefox just updated and aside from breaking my themes, it now refuses to restore my tabs! I have gone through the options 10 times now and each time I tell it to start with my old tabs it resets to home page............Every time Firefox updates it breaks, I am writing this from Chrome, which at least maintains some continuity.
I was able to grab my sessionstore files so I still have them, but dammit test your code people! The feature to resume tabs etc after restart is a major and long running one in Firefox, make sure it works!!!!!!!
Anyway sorry but this has frustrated me to no end, any help appreciated.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the "Browsing History"
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
There shouldn't be normally any problems with files in the Firefox Profile Folder, but some security software keeps a lock on files and that may cause erratic behavior in some cases like an update that requires a restart.

  • Firefox updated and I can't find my scrapbook.

    Firefox updated and I can't find my scrapbook.

    an update alone shouldn't affect the extension - are your other customizations, preferences, etc. still there? then the possibility is high that you'll just have to reinstall scrapbook from addons.mozilla.org again and your data is still available...

  • Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

    Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it. And i don't know what happens if i press restore?

    What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it.
    And i don't know what happens if i press restore?
    Will it show my back up and back it up or what?
    And if that does happen will all my pictures stil be there?
    Also i'm not on a apple computer.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Either a PC or Mac work the same.
    The photos in our iPod's Camera Roll album will be restored as will the last 30 days of photos in our PhotoStream album

  • 10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized.

    10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized in windows 7 service pack 1. I have 2 iphones and an ipod 3G. I have to go into services and stop the apple mobile device and start it up again to get my devices recognized. Anyone else having the same issue? One of the iphones is not upgraded to the new iOS, the other phone and the ipod are updated.

    Hi,
    You probably need to update to Snow Leopard10.6.8
    Click Apple icon top left and click Software Update and keep doing that until it says software is up to date.
    That should bring your itunes to the correct version.
    Hope this helps,
    Alan

  • Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

    firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

    Hi meekprm-
    It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
    * Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
