How can I get Firefox to stop saving the open tabs when it closes and reinstating them the next time it opens?

Even tho' I've set options for Firefox to delete history when it closes, it still remembers my open tabs and tries to reinstate them the next time it starts. This causes two problems: 1) it takes longer for Firefox to close, such that if I start it again a few sec later it is still running and won't restart; 2) it sometimes reopens websites I am no longer want when it next starts. The latter also makes the last sites I visited visible to the next user, which I (and I suspect most other users) want to avoid. I would like to turn this feature off since it is far more of a problem than a benefit!

@cor-el
I have the same problem.
My settings are already configured to "Show a blank page". It does show a blank page normally, but when FF crashes, it attempts to reload all the tabs from the previous session when it restarts. My version is: Firefox/3.6.13, and I'm running XP sp3 if that matters.

  • HT201303 It keeps saying that I used a different computer to access my account. I haven't. How can I get it to stop this so I don't have to enter my card number every time?

    It keeps saying that I used a different computer to access my account. I haven't. How can I get it to stop this so I don't have to enter my card number every time?

    It also says that "your account information has changed. Please review your account and email address and approve them for use in the itunes store." It happens EVERY time I buy a new song, a new album, anything. Even if I buy an album and five minutes later, without closing itunes, buy another one, I have to go through this whole process. It's REALLY annoying.

  • Updated Firefox is not compatible with my low vision software - Zoomtext. How can I get Firefox to stop asking me to upgrade!!

    Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.

    Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
    see for more info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel#w_update-tab Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab]
    BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive '''critical security updates that may keep you safe online''' unless you frequently do a '''manual check for updates'''.
    thank you

  • How can I get an ucropped image in a Custom Package when using Stroke and/or Border??

    How can I get a picture in a Custom Package that has a Stroke and/or a border and get the image shown fully, and not cropped in one way or other?
    When I add the stroke/border it adds them inside the cell, thereby altering the ratio of the area for the picture inside it, which crops it in some way. How can I get the image to be uncropped?  The controls available seem to all be for the ration of the outside of the cell, but my image is inside the stroke/border and nothing seems to work on it directly ... 
    Many thanks,
    Gary

    Perhaps I misunderstood your requirement.  I have been frustrated by LR print module and labs effectively squeezing individual shots into existing frames. So I have used LR2Mogrify to export (and then re-import) a 'new image' which manages the discrepancy between a crop and a cell of a different aspect ratio by adding padding - usually 'white' - around the image to a canvas corresponding to cell dimensions. Adding stroke borders can be accomplished in Mogrify inside or outside the image.  A custom package, with multiple cell dimensions can be populated with images created in the corresponding aspect ratio(s) for the relevant cells.
    I'm not aware of a way of automating the creation of cells in a page to dimensions which change with the crop as discovered  - drag and drop images onto a blank page creates cells of the same standard size.  

  • How can I get FireFox to stop asking me if I want to save a password?

    I DO NOT want ANY internet entity saving my webpage passwords. Mozilla/FireFox insists on asking me if I want to save my password to a webpage. How do I get it to STOP asking me if I want to save a password?

    Yes! Thank you! Simple and easy to follow instructions. AND it worked. Cannot ask for more than that!
    Thanks again!

  • How can I get Firefox to stop looking for uninstalled fonts?

    Running Firefox 3.6.16 on MacBook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.7: Every time I quit and restart Firefox, it searches my iDisk and finds uninstalled fonts (some of which are actually installed--these are original font files I purchased stored there). What looks like an OS box pops up saying Firefox wants permission to use these uninstalled fonts (and even though I click don't ask again for Firefox, these boxes pop up on every restart). This does not happen on my desktop Mac. Short of deleting the files, how can I stop Firefox from searching for uninstalled fonts? Thanks,

    You can try this:
    Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts:
    # Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
    # Open Font Book > Preferences
    # Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
    # Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to Computer
    # Select all User fonts.
    # Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
    # Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts

  • How can I get firefox to stop moving the typing cursor to my homepages' search engine automatically?

    What usually happens is when I open firefox I'll usually start typing in the url bar or in the browser search engine to the right of url bar. The problem is that while I'm in the middle of typing, firefox will move my cursor to the homepage's search engine. This gets annoying after awhile because I'll have to stop and reclick where I was typing at (sometimes it'll even move it back!). Is there a way to disable this so that firefox won't try to relocate my typing cursor every time a new page loads?

    You can set to open a blank page on opening Firefox and click the Home button if you want to see the Home page. You can also click ESC to stop loading the page before typing in the location bar.
    Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show a blank page"

  • How can I get Firefox to stop trying to update to newer version

    I don't want a newer version of Firefox and I'm tired of it always trying to update automatically to a newer version. When this happens, I can't get to the website I want. This has to stop, or I'm going back to Windows Explorer.

    You can find the update settings here:
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > Update: "Automatically check for updates":
    If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)

  • Once cleaned, how can i get Firefox to stop warning potentially malicious content on my site?

    My site was hacked, now it's clean. I have requested removal from list of phishing sites from Google. Google has done so and taken off warning page in Chrome browser. Stopbadware.org lists status of site with white button, and there's no link to “Request an independent review of data providers’ findings.”
    I have called Mozilla, left message, volunteer returned my phone call and informed me the sites were now listed as safe and the warning removed, BUT the warning for potentially malicious content still appears on my site in Firefox.
    What more can I do??? This is really frustrating, and is really hurting my business!!!

    Nevermind. I upgraded to Firefox 4 and then the warnings were gone.
    Joy, joy, joy!

  • How can I get firefox to remember my most used websites when I change tabs?

    Have downloaded a new firefox and whilst the history is remembered I can't get my most used websites to comeup and when I move away from home page I get trovi which I have never used and don't want to use - just want things as they were

    Hi, I'm afraid Trovi is a browser hijacker, which will mess around with Firefox. Please work through [http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/ this article] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware this article.] Hopefully one or more of the malware removers will fix it.

  • Firefox keeps wanting me to update & License agreement is not available. How can I get Firefox to stop this behavior???

    Firefox strongly suggests update but when I get to the license agreement it says it's not available...go to home page.. Can't find it there..can you either provide license agreement or stop asking me to update!? Thanks

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that 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.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • How can I get Firefox to stop causing "The connection was interrupted"?

    I've recently upgraded to Firefox 3.6.22 on my MacOSX 10.5.8 system. I connect to the internet via GoogleWifi. That connection now consistently fails immediately after Firefox launches when there is no Cache (I clear it every time I Quit from Firefox). Safari can make the connection, but Firefox consistently reports: "Problem loading page." "The connection was interrupted." Attempting to "Try Again" does no good, it still fails.

    This is not helpful because 7.0.1 does not meet my System Requirements. There is no Mac OS X 10.4 version, and I always install the same version on all my systems. I've also read several reports of "problems" with 7.0.1, and wouldn't trust it on my 10.5 (Leopard) system.

  • How can I get PDFs to stop saving as QL-?

    Anytime I save a PDF from safari into an app it saves as a QL- and then a bunch of incomprehensible letters and such. Is there anyway to get it to save with it's original file name? It's incredibly inconvenient to be storing my PDFs in iBooks and such and having NO idea which one is which!

    99% of all the PDFs I have downloaded do so with the title as the filename. I have only two that have QL-random characters.PDF as the title. Both of those were aquired via 4share.com. I believe it is a function of the website. It assigns every file uploaded a random name, for reasons that should be obvious.
    Just sync your ipad to your computer. Rename the file to their title, then resync them to the ipad.

  • How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

    How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
    Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
    Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.
