How do I get up the 'Well this is embarassing' page again so I can restore certain tabs?

I opened Firefox hoping that my previous tabs would come up. I got the 'Well this is embarrassing' page and quit it without thinking. I now realise you can choose to restore some of these tabs so I would like to return to this page but don't know how to get it back.
If I can't get the page back then I'd also like to know how to go to my history and select numerous pages to be opened in separate tabs. Currently I have to do this by opening a tab, going to yesterday's history and double clicking it to open which causes the window to disappear whilst the page is opening. I then have to open a new tab, go back to the history and then select another page. I would like to make multiple selections in this list and then have them open in separate tabs, rather than this drawn out process of opening them one by one in new tabs.

If you want that page then type about:sessionrestore in the location bar.
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

How do I get to the certificate manager for my firefox browser so I can manage the certificates of sites I frequently visit?

It looks like my firefox browser is using an old facebook security certificate dated 2-28-14. How do I get to my certificate manager in my firefox browser so I can see if there's an updated security certificate (4-18-14 or after) and get that in place? Be specific with steps for me to follow please.

I think what you are looking for is 
'''Firefox Options > Advanced > Certificates.'''

I have "well this is embarassing" and then nothing - frozen and nothing works

all I get is the "well this is embarassing . . . " message and a rotating circle comes up where my mouse should be pointing - no Firefox bar across the top - just this damed circle

A possible cause is that you are first closing all Firefox windows and then close the Firefox application.
Some have reported that closing Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is still open works for them.

When will the "Well, this is embarrassing..." problem going to be fixed? A lot of folks are having the problem. Do I need to just switch back to Safari?

When I log onto Moz., get an error message starting with, Well this is embarrassing... I don't have any clue what to do about it except to switch to a browser that is working.

I upgraded to FF Ver 20.0 a couple of months ago, and that is when this "Well, this is embarrassing" nonsense started. I've been using Firefox for many years on my several Mac computers, and it is only with this LAST upgrade that I have been getting this "error" message every time I start Firefox. YES, I have figured out how to avoid this problem by simply making sure that the particular window I want to START with is on the screen before I click the "Quit Firefox" tab under the "Firefox" word on the top menu. BUT HAVING TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I CLOSE FIREFOX IS NONSENSICAL !! Why do I have to do that now, when I've never had to do that before? It makes no sense. To avoid desktop clutter, I have always closed the open Firefox windows on the screen, but leave Firefox running in the background; then, when I want to get back on the internet an hour later and re-open Firefox (as I have done thousands of times in the past), now I get that nonsensical "Well, this is embarrassing" message again. It is extremely irritating, and totally unnecessary.
MOZILLA/FIREFOX Team ---- whatever you did, you must FIX this irritating problem which so MANY of us faithful Firefox users are now facing.

No, because iPads do not run Mac OS X. They run iOS.

HOW DO YOU GET TO THE RAID SETTINGS ON THIS THING (GT60 2O)???

Dude... I been online for 40 minutes looking for instructions on how to get around this box. I can't find anything relevant, so I'm just gonna ask. How do you get to the settings for SUPER RAID 2? I can't find any information on it and now I'm really getting frustrated!! Any help would be appreciated.

First go into your BIOS and set the controller to RAID instead of AHCI/IDE/whatever it is.
You should then be able to use some key combination (such as ALT+H or whatever it is) to enter the Intel Raid ROM and setup the RAID in there.

I have Mac Mini OSX 10.6.2; Safari states "can't open server since url starting with 'open-help-anchor'.

How do I get into the web site I've always been able to get but now this is blocking it? Is this related to cookies?

*Ask Toolbar Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common for these kinds of "extras" (toolbars, security scanners, etc.) to be added to your browser/system/desktop when adding or updating other software, some from very well-know software vendors. You must carefully read information before downloading any "free" software and be very alert during the install process for any opportunity to opt-out of "extras" being installed.
'''If you have the Ask Toolbar''' 
* First try to disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar in Firefox via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions". See: [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

*See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
'''You ''MAY'' need to reset a preference''' if searches from the URL/location bar take you to an Ask search page.

*Open a new tab or window.
*Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key

I want to set up a roaming network. I have directions. I have an extreme set up and working. I need to add an express. When I open airport utility I get the internet pic of internet and the base station. How do a get to the setting screens?

Directions require that I change settings on the base station on the screen that interent connection, TCP/IP DHCP NAT how do I get to that screen through airport utility.
Then I need to for my express to get to the screen the screen for wireless.
This has changed since last time I did this.
How do I get to the screens.

Your existing Extreme might already be configured in Bridge Mode. As long as the Extreme is working now, do not change any settings on the Extreme.
Apple incorrectly assumes that all users are connecting to a simple modem when most users are connecting to gateway devices....combination modem/routers.
You probably are as well and Bridge Mode would be the correct setting when connecting to that type of device.

How do I get to the rules section in iCloud mail on my iPad. I want to block just one email sender.w do I post

How dom I get to the rules box in iCloud mail on my iPad. I just want to block one address. Thanks

The replies have helped me to conclude that in this instance apple have failed by a long shot to provide any reliable help. I have exchanged chats with them and been told to just read variuos support notes which explain how to set the rules on an iPad. After many exchanges I was not convinced they had grasped the real problem. In the end they would appear to be wrong in the advice given. Apple were no help at all, I gave your replies a HELP star because they helped me conclude that.
The situation was and still is, the iPad was a gift to an 85 year old relative of mine, she loved it, really getting used to emails, photos,, web and so on. Suddenly things started to go wrong, photos started failing freezing up during uploads and albums sharing etc. in the end had to dump everything and with help call on Dropbox, all well now with that. Then an email from one of her eldly friends was delivered every 10 minutes, over 400 panic. Nobody gave any simple answer to her of the sender to stop the emails. She called me, 500 miles away to see if I could help, yep I said until you get someone close to help you just block that email address, easy or so I thought, you know the trauma from there.
I got the roundabout way to stop them with my own winbox and iPad., she as just got the iPad and is housebound. I have offered that if she gives me her security info I'l log into her iCloud mail in windows and set the rules and any other preferences for her.....highly desirable solution isn't it.
I,ll say to anyone that apple and many of it apps are not user friendly and fail badly. Sorry for being a bit longwiinded in this reply but it's given me some experience with this facility that again was not easy to master.
