How can I disable the session restore feature after I have closed the broweser window myself?

I don't want to disable ANY other feature at all (e.g. restoring session after a crash), I only want when I close Firefox and restart it to start new on my home page, without any restored tabs whatsoever. I have tried everything on about:config and it won't seem to do the trick.
This is a big privacy concern and I'm really puzzled why Firefox was programmed this way without an easily accessible option to change it.

hello kayjay76, this sounds like a problem caused by some sort of adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • Is there a way to restore a movie clip after you have closed the swf

    Can you restore the state of a movie clip after you have closed it?

    Could you explain more about what you mean by "assign component parameters" because I dont understand. Is this something I would do before it closed? Maybe I failed to explain clearly. i really need some help on this because i have no idea where to start. I have created an app, but I want a user to be able to reopen the app after close and pick up where they left off, or be able to change one thing and not have to start from the begining. I have searched around and cant find information on what i need so Im starting to wonder if that is possible using as3?

  • How can I disable Pages 5.1 and make 4.0.3 the default again?

    Does anyone know how to disable Pages 5.1 so that it NEVER opens a doc again unless I somehow re-enable it?
    I don't want to delete it in case someone sends me a tainted 5.1 Pages doc. Plus I'm sure if I DO delete it, it will keep showing up like a bad penny when I run the software updater which is nearly equally anoying.
    I have tried doing a "get info" on a pages doc and selecting "open with pages 4.0.3" then clicked on "Change All" to make it the default app. This worked on my initial install of Mavericks but after doing some updates, the system will no longer obey the "change all" and insists on opening new pages files with 5.1. I've even tried changing the name of the app, but OSX is not so easily fooled and still opens the doc with the renamed app.

    Bury it a couple of folders down in Applications or simply archive (zip) it.

  • How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

    How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password?  I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

    Click the Wi-Fi icon in your Mac's menu bar.
    If it looks like this, it's off:
    Click it and select Turn Wi-Fi On.
    If it looks like this, it's already on but something else is wrong:
    If it looks like something else, describe it or post a screenshot.

  • Is there any way to modify the photo book size after I have created the book?

    I created a photo book then realized it was not the correct size. Is there a way to correct the size or do I have to start from scratch?
    I Found the answer after I posted this- CTRL D to duplicate, then choose new theme - Worked like a charm.

    Yes.  First click on the book in the Projects section and type Command +D (duplicate).  Open the book, click on Change Themes and in the next window select the size and type you want.
    The duplicate is to have in case you find any text that was removed in the resizing.  You can cut and past from the duplicate copy to the original.  Also verify that the resized book has all of its text, not text warning indicators and that all photos are there and in the correct order.
    Always create a PDF version of the book according to this Apple doucment, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture, to check for any errors, i.e. typos, missing text, etc., before ordering the book.  Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed version when it arrives.
    Opps!  Answered your question from the title without reading the full body of your post. However, the last 2 paragraphs are worth reviewing.

  • How can I do a Session Restore after a crash from a week or so ago (i.e. not most recent)

    After a recent FF crash (Vsn 13.0.1 - I know) on the next start up it asked if I wanted to restore session, said yes - then realised all previous tabs were missing. Shut down and re-started nothing happened so checked Task List and found multiple versions (2) of FF in memory - ended those sessions.
    Tried to rename/re-use sessionstore.js and sessionrestore.bak but didn't contain tabs wanted, so I need to know if there is a way to 'undelete' previous sessionrestore.js files and use the one from a week or so ago to restore the tabs from then? I presume the same renaming procedure is used - could someone direct me to the procedure to do this?
    Thanks.

    I can find multiple (deleted) Sessionstore.js files with different dates and times in the n33mpvib.default folder, in 'good' condition. I have tried to save 1 from last week (to a different drive, E:) and then renamed sessionstore.js to *.old and copied in the recovered sessionstore.js from E: into n33mpvib.default folder, and restarted FF - didn't work.
    I can see all the tabs I had previously opened in the History, but can't remember which were still open (active) at the time of the crash.
    Is there something I am not doing correctly in the first paragraph procedure?

  • My computer crashes a lot, but every time I bring it back up-I ALWAYS have the "session restore" option. This last time, the option was not there ANYWHERE

    Also, I already viewed the answer to the same question, but I don't understand how to find that "profile" folder. Can anyone please explain this further. I tried all options of trying to restore, but every one of them is 'grayed' out and will not let me. I have never had this problem! I had several important tabs open that I needed to work on!!

    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You may have to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

  • My iCloud address on the iPad needs to be changed. If I press "delete account" it tells me I will lose all the content including pictures. How can I change it? I see other people have had the same problem

    I have had to change my e mail address but I cannot work out how to amend it on my iCloud account. If I press "delete account" the box appears telling me that I will lose all content including photos if I continue. The box asking for a password keeps appearing but I just press cancel and continue.
    I have not attempted to upgrade to iOS 7 until this problem is sorted. Can anyone help please?

    If you mean that you created a new icloud account using a new email address as the primary address, then when changing to that account on a device, all data maintained by the old account will be deleted.  I was not aware that photos are included.  But as for photos, ALWAYS sync them to a computer for archiving, never rely on icloud as your only backup.
    If you want to keep the contacts, etc. data from the old account, then go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services, one at a time.  When doing so, you are given the choice to keep the data local or delete from the device.  Later, when doing Delete Account and logging into the new account, your data will sync up to it.
    If, on the other hand, your changed email address is just an alias in the existig icloud account, then there's no reason to delete the account as the alias is just another link to the same account.

  • How can I reconnect my events to iMovie after I have moved them to another external drive?

    I have over 1TB of home movies that were stored on an external HD but that HD was starting to act up and needed repairing.  I copied all my iMovie files (events and projects) to another external before I lost everything.  Unfortunately, I did this via finder and not iMovie.  I have since reformatted my original external HD.  What can I do to reconnect all my iMovie events and projects back into iMovie?  Help Please.

    I would suggest naming your repaired HD with the same volume name that the original one had. Then move the iMovie Events folder and the iMovie Projects folders back to that drive. Then restart iMovie.
