How do I keep my tabs open in Firefox for Android?
Sometimes when I open Firefox for Android my tabs will disappear and I will need to scroll to the bottom of "Recent Tabs" and press "Open All." How do I set it so that my tabs stay open? This closing seems to happen every day or two and it means I need to keep reopening all my tabs. They shouldn't close unless I close them.
Hello there,
Try going to: Firefox Menu > Settings > Customize > Tabs to 'Always restore'.
Hope this helps!

How do I keep multiple tabs open in Firefox?
When using Firefox if I am working in a session under one tab and need to open up a different browser, I use the "+" to add another tab and open up a different session. When I go back to the first tab to work, it closes the session on me and I have to log back in again. This is so frustrating! Is this a Firefox thing or did I turn something off on my mac? I am not a computer geek so I apologize if my lingo jives.
Well I'm assuming here you have your OS X 10.6 fully Software Updated and Firefox is at the latest version.

This might be a security issue with the site your logged into, to prevent cross site scripting/hijacking etc. depending upon the site.
I suggest you delete all your installed add-ons, delete Firefox and reinstall FF and it's add-ons for security reasons.
The latest version of FF is 6.01 and removes the compromised Diginor Certificate domain that might be causing your issue with the logged in site.
In your Keychain program in OS X, under the preferences set the certificates to Best Attempt, Best Attempt, OCSP and reboot this will enable constant checks for compromised certificates upon each SSL visit.
Naturally Apple and Microsoft are late to the party in updating their certificates. -
How do I set a home page in Firefox for Android
I want iGoogle to open when I load Firefox.
Hi DOUGM500049, <br>
I think this will be a change on Firefox for Android 20. Currently, you can make a bookmark to your preferred page and open Firefox with it.

I used to be able to close firefox and have all my opened tabs saved. When I open firefox again, those tabs will be opened as I last closed firefox.
Now, I am not able to do it. The firefox was crashed at one time earlier and I have to open the task manager to force it to close because it is frozen and so was my computer. After I opened it again, there is no tabs saved which I kinda expected. Then I
go on web surfing and browse various websites. Now, when I close firefox, a box pops up warning me about the opened
tabs will be closed. So I googled the symptom and it brought me to this website, telling me that if I set
"tools->open->general->When firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it should behave as it was before.
I tried that but it doesn't work.
Any help is appreciated.In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data. -
How do I keep Finder Tabs open after a restart?
After opening several Tabs in Finder, I find they have closed after I´ve shut down & then (Later), restart my Mac Mini.

Can you help me one last time please?
Thanks in advance for your time.

How do I keep my tabs open?
With the latest build of Firefox Android, the tab bar will not remain open. As soon as I start interacting with the page, the tab bar slides closed. I'd like for it to remain open.
This is a tablet, which is why I want to leave it open. When I open the tab bar, the whole page slides to the side instead of scaling like it used to. I'm not sure if that's related or not.
I've tried to force close just to make sure I'm loading with that set to false and it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for your help so far. This behavior is really annoying and I'd hate to have to switch back to Chrome after switching everything over to Firefox! -

How do I change the default fonts on Firefox for Android version 21?
Is it possible to restore the default fonts from earlier versions of Firefox to use on web pages for version 21 instead of using the new shipped Open Sans and Charis fonts?
Smo,
That is incorrect, you can change the fonts used in content to your own choosing albeit only through advanced about:config preferences. This is not recommended.
Change these in about:config;
*font.name.serif.x-user-def
*font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name.monospace.x-user-def
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name.serif.x-western
*font.name.sans-serif.x-western
*font.name.sans-serif.x-western
*font.name.monospace.x-western
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
I've never tried changing these so you are at your own risk here. -
How can I change my download location on Firefox for android?
Hi I am wondering how I can change where my downloaded files go. thanks!
I have it working on my S3. These are the steps I followed:
1. Create the Donwload Folder on the external SD card:
/mnt/extSdCard/Download ( = /storage/extSdCard/Download)
2. On Firefox about:config:
Create the String value variable '''browser.download.dir''' and assign the value of the folder on step 1. It is very important to use the proper caps, so check your folder name and put it here correctly.
3. Modify the variable '''browser.download.foldelist''' and set it to '''2'''.
Close Firefox (Kill the app if necessary ) . and that's it!. It worked for me. -
As in #1000240 and in #1032181, I've installed a StartSSL login certificate in my Firefox for Android and having a problem with extracting/backuping it to use with another device/browser.
I'm using the latest Firefox Beta for Android (35.0) at present; the Android version is 4.1.2, my phone model is Sony LT26i (Xperia S), so neither of the aforementioned questions asked at the Mozilla Support website do not contain any solution to the given problem.
Any chance to recover the certificate?
P. S. I haven't rooted my device; if getting a root is the only possible way to recover the certificate, I may consider doing so.You can try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/copy-profile/ If that does not retrieve the file then see below.
If you know the name and path of the file you can get it using run-as function of adb. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18471780/android-adb-retrieve-database-using-run-as
If you end up down here you'll need root to be able to navigate the file system. I don't know the file name, though it is likely in your profile folder which can be determined by visiting about:cache in the Firefox address bar. It will be similar to /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta/files/mozilla/$RANDOM.default/ -
How do I turn off typing suggestions In Firefox for Android?
I am having a terrible problem with comments I previously typed (primarily in FB) taking over my screen when I am trying to type a new comment. I am unable to see what I am typing and all my previous comments show up for me to insert. If I click on one of the previous comments, it inserts it into the space where I am trying to type. There seems to be no way to close the suggestions and get them off the screen. I never, ever want to say the same thing twice. Can I please get rid of this function entirely? I am using an Asus Nexus 7 with the latest version of Android. Thank you, I just can't seem to find a way to fix this.
HI leinieman,
Sorry to hear this. Ok lets try disabling the feature. There is a former question that pointed to [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/clear-mobile-history/ Clear Mobile History Add on] but this essentially does the same as wiping history from the menu.
There is a private window you can navigate in that will also prevent history from being remembered. It is called a new guest window. [[Share your Android device with a Firefox Guest Session]] -
How do I change the default email app Firefox for Android uses?
I'm using 8SMS as my default messaging app. When I try to share a link, Firefox gives me an error saying that messaging isn't my default app so it can't compose the SMS. Is there a place to change which app Firefox looks for when composing SMS messages?
Hello,
Did you choose share via 8sms? And what does the error message say exactly?
Thanks -

if you hold down a Command key and press the Tab key, it will show a set of icons representing your currently opened programs. Press Tab until you arrive at the program you’d like to switch to, and then release the Command key.
