How do I get my tabs back after firefox was updated.

My v6 of Firefox was crashing so I updated to v24.0. I had a lot of tabs (65) open before the update and now they are gone, but my bookmarks are all there. Can I get my tabs back or are they all "gone with the wind"?
TIA....

Hi winsig, I don't know what that first reply was about!
Step 1 would be to salvage your sessionstore files and make backup copies before exiting Firefox or making any other changes.
Open your active Firefox profile folder (personal settings folder) using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Copy all files that start with sessionstore to a safe location such as your documents folder.
Does the sessionstore.bak file look as though it has a timestamp of your last good session, or something later?
You might also check to see whether Firefox automatically performed a Reset during your upgrade. In that case, you may find a second profile in one of these two locations:
(1) Windows desktop, named "Old Firefox Data"
(2) Firefox profiles folder (one level up from your active profile folder)
If you find either of those, make backups of those sessionstore files as well (under different names or in a different folder to avoid overwriting)
If you have anything promising, we can discuss how to swap sessionstore files and check whether any of them have your missing tabs.

Do you have copies of them in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone? If you haven't then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload

How do I get the notes back after an iOS update? Not as easy as you think....

This is a strange case. I had a previous iPad 1 synced to my pc, 2 years ago. That iPad is long gone. I now have a different iPad 1 that was never synced to any pc, and actually had a couple of apps purchased from different users. The apps aren't the problem.
I synced this second iPad to my pc and it seemed happy as can be. I then updated the iOS. When it was done it had nothing other than factory apps and no data. So I restored it.....
But it restored the OLD iPad! It even renamed this iPad to the old name. It replaced my notes with the notes from that old iPad.
I've fixed all the app problems. But how can I get those notes back? I've looked at the backups, but note that it never had me back it up, it only synced.

Good morning Gandrin
There is quite a difference between syncing and back-up and they are different features in iTunes, although some people combine them together.
1. The first thing that happens when you connect your device is that a photo manager asks if you want to offload your photos. I always do this because it is the most valuable way to back-up your photos only.
2. Then Itunes will come up and if you have automatic sync turned on it will begin to sync FROM your computer to your device. It's a one-way sync and is the primary way to keep photos, music and some apps managed on your device. New apps are synced onto your Itunes app tab. If you add or delete items in your iTunes folders then those changes are synced to your device. I always check to make sure my new apps are now in my iTunes library and specific device tab.
4. There is also a back-up step where you can back your device onto your computer. I think this is the step that should have been done when you got your new PC. It doesn't save the apps here but does save their setting and data. I prefer to set this up to be a manual back-up process.

5. There is also a a "Automatically sync new apps checkbox in your itunes device apps tabs. That should be checked "on".
6. If the missing apps were purchased through iTunes then I think you can download them again (make sure you use the same Apple Id). If you then resync with itunes those apps should appear in iTunes for you.
Maybe there is something in my rambling that will help

How do i get new tabs back to firefox

when i open a new tab it opens as bing...how do i get firefox back?

Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables extension that show in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions", so you can check if your issue is caused by any of them.
You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe Mode</u>:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

How do I get my apps back after my iPhone update?

I just updated my iPhone, and there was an error message that required my phone to be restored to factory settings. It even deactivated my phone from Verizon service. After it was reactivated, only my contacts and my free apps were put back on there. I have important apps for nursing school that I paid for...one of them was $30! How do I get back what I already paid a lot for?

They should be in itunes on your computer. Just sync them back.
Certainly you did not update without making sure that any apps purchased on your iphone were transferred to itunes.
If so, then Open itunes store, click "Purchased" under "Quick Links" and redownload them.
Hope all goes well.

How can I get my pictures back after the iPhone update?

The update deleted all of my pictures and information. I did not realize that my pictures weren't being saved to the cloud. Are they gone forever?
I would be grateful for any sort of help you all can give me!
Apple, please take note. These incidences should not be happening.

If you have a backup of your phone that included those pics, then restore from that backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
if you don't have a backup, then sorry your pics are gone.

Hi Clembo60,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your text messages are missing after an update on your iPhone. If you have a backup of your device on either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from that backup and bring your information back. Please review the attached article, which covers how to back up and restore from backups, for more information.

How can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???

how can I get the tabs back where they belong beneath the address bar , NOT on top ???
they are on top, which puts the address bar at a variable position depending on how many tab rows exist - makes a moving target for navigating to across my dual 24 inch screens
I tried your "solution" using about:config and setting browser.tab.on.top or whatever to false, but that had NO effect
Maybe because TabMixPlus is installed?
It does allow putting the tabs all the way at the bottom, but I don't like that either.
PLEASE, give me the address bar at TOP with tabs under that!!!
Also, I don't want FlashGot to be at the right of the address bar!!!

why should we use yet another add on to get the tabs back at the bottom? Big mistake.
Moreover, why make FF look more like Chrome? If I wanted Chrome, i would have installed it long time ago.
FF 29.0 is NOT an improvement.
Nasty piece of mud.

Hi,
Do you mean the Messages icon has disappeared from your DOCK on your Mac ?
Or do you mean that Messages does not appear in your Applications folder either ?
Or do you mean that in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts the iMessages account is not Logged in ?

How do I get my tabs back into the main window?

I've had a problem with an add-on displaying a small extra window every time I open a session for some months now: I know you're supposed to try disabling and re-enabling every add-on you've got to find out which one is responsible, but this is a work computer and with all the add-ons I have, it would take too long, so I've just closed the extra window every time and got on with my work. However, for some reason today my forty-odd tabs have all opened in the small extra window, which has no tab bar, navigation bar or menu button. How do I get my tabs back into the main window of Firefox, or alternatively get that window to behave like a normal Firefox window so I can use it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
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).

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
