How do I save a Tab Session as a Bookmark?

I am using Firefox 4.0. I have several windows open, each with multiple tabs. Each time I restart Firefox, I am gratified to see all of the previous windows and tabs pop open and are restored, however, the reload time is agonizing at my bandwidth.
Each of the windows has multiple tabs that are related: hobby sites, medical info sites, technical lookups, etc. In an older version of Firefox, I was able close a window and save a complete set of tabs as a bookmark folder labelled "session 1 (2,3,etc.)" in only a few simple clicks. That feature appears to be missing in Firefox 4.0
Short of manually creating a bookmark folder, bookmarking each tabbed page separately, and then editing the bookmark list to move all of the bookmarked tabs to that new folder, is there a convenient way to perform a bookmark save of the session in a specific window, so I can close that whole window but still be able to get it back at a future time/date?

Yes! :-)
Thanks. That creates a bookmark folder I've moved to my bookmarks toolbar. I'll get used to the "Open All Tabs" process very quickly.
Nice solution. Thanks.

  • How do I save my tabs safely and shut off my Mac?

    Hello there,
    I need to know how I can save my tabs using firefox. this is a very important feature for me that I am looking forward to learn.
    Please let me know,
    I love FireFox

    Use "Firefox > Quit Firefox" to close the Firefox application and the currently open tabs and windows if you want to reopen the current session the next time.

  • How do I save my tabs without saving all my history like I used to?

    I just reformatted last night, and reinstalled Firefox today. For quite a few years, I'd had Firefox set up to
    1) upon closing, save all my opened tabs, and the previously visited pages of those tabs
    2) save no history other than the previously visited pages of tabs I have open while browsing, and save no history upon closing beyond saving my tabs
    3) still be able to save cookies and such for sites I specifically allow
    This is my computer that others occasionally use; I want to be able to closes Firefox keeping inconsequential pages I'm reading still there for my attention later, but be able to close private pages without people going through my history snooping around. I'm not willing to go one-by-one through my history deleting stuff. If I close a tab then close the browser I want that history gone; if I leave a tab open and close the browser I want that history there.
    I can't seem to be able to set this up; 1) and 2) are completely eluding me. Years ago when the first add-ons were made to do it, I had my tabs saved via those add-ons; since then, (I only formatted yesterday) I think I had been doing it through Firefox's current features.
    (I know there's related answers, ie "How can I save my tabs upon exiting?", but none seem to satisfy my issue)
    Eh, what gives? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Regrettably dm, I got nothing out of that one. There doesn't seem to be the ability any more to set up what I had set up. Seems like I was lucky I never screwed with the settings after I had them like that. (No, I wasn't deleting my history upon each exit; I had the "Firefox doesn't save history" option selected - the only history saved was for tabs I left open when I exited. If you can tell, it sounds more related to the old "Clear History On Exit" option than the "Save No History" option today)
    ... it seems like Firefox is getting more bloated with each release (which comes out sooner and sooner each time!) while giving less customizability. I / we could all just be missing it (perhaps some wise Firefox techs know what I need) but the fact that I can't just go Tools--->Options and do it easy is bothersome. I'd rather have long menus (under Advanced buttons if you want to make them look pretty) than to try so hard to minimize the number of options shown, to make it look simpler, or whatever.
    Rant done. I figure this problem won't be solved... gonna go check out some other browsers. Thanks anyway folks!

  • How do i save my tabs when closing ff yo reboot pc???, sometimes dialogue box warns closing down will loose tabs, sometimes its do you wish to save tabs?

    ''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/913478''
    i already asked this question!
    how do i save my tabs when shutting down ff in order to reboot??

    You can give feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/garageband.html, this forum is only read by users!
    A couple of comments:
    2. Click on that little icon with the aligning arrows in the lower right corner of the timline, and you can stop it at any time.
    6. GB does offer markers if you make the Podcast track visible. Also, you can use the Arrange track to name portions of your song and even copy a section like a chorus to several positions in the song. A bit glitchy.
    8. GB 08 offers 24 bit recording and exporting.
    10. If you don't want the default track to appear, create a template file with all the tracks you want when starting a song and put it in your dock, so you will always have your favorite layout when you start.
    I don't even know what HAS changed.
    Actually, a lot. GB 08 was a major new release. For a comprehensive list of new features, see http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/WhatsNew08.html.

  • How do I save all tabs

    there used to be away to do this

    The more information that you provide in your question, the better the chance that you will receive a reply with the solution. Your question can refer to a couple of different Firefox functions.
    The reply by '''''the-edmeister''''' is to a question conerning "Bookmark All Tabs". His reply is reasonable. When first reading your question, my thought was the same as '''''the-edmeister's'''''.
    If you are referring to "Save tabs on exit", see the following.
    Firefox now automatically saves open tabs when closing. When you re-start Firefox, do one of these:
    #Restore from History:
    #*click ''Firefox button> History > Restore Previous Session''
    #*click ''History > Restore Previous Session'', if using the Menu Bar
    #Restore from the about:home page:
    #*type '''''about:home''''' in the Location/URL bar and choose "Restore Previous Session"
    #*See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox#w_why-werent-my-tabs-and-windows-restored
    #Change your home page setting:
    #*Change Options > General tab, change "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    #*See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20General%20panel Options window-General Options]
    IMPORTANT:
    *You must close Firefox using ''Firefox button > Exit/Close'' (or ''File > Exit/Close'' if using the Menu Bar) for this to work properly
    *You must have "Remember my browsing history" selected; click ''Firrefox button > Options > Privacy'' (or ''Tools > Options > Privacy,'' if using the Menu Bar'')
    **See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Privacy%20panel Options window-Privacy panel]
    *You must not clear "Browsing History" when closing Firefox; click ''Firefox button > Options > Privacy > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Exceptions > [ ] Browsing History'' (or click ''Tools > Options > Privacy > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Exceptions > [ ] Browsing History'', if using the Menu Bar)

  • When closing Firefox, I used to have the choice to 'save and quit' so I'd open with the same tabs next time. This has stopped with the new version. How can I save my tabs now?

    the only message that comes up now when I close is 'you are about to close x number of tabs' with no offer to save anything.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How can I save multiple tabs to open at the same time?

    Hi,
    I have a set of websites that I need to access regularly and I'd like to be able to open all the tabs in a window at the same time rather than clicking on each one individually.  I know this was possible in previous safari versions but I can't figure out how to do it in Yosemite (v8).
    Can someone walk me through how to do this please?  I've googled this but haven't been able to find an answer for this latest version of safari.
    Thanks!

  • How do I save and restore Session?

    Is it possible to have a user leave the site for a period of
    time, say 2 or 3 days, and when they come back, restore their last
    session and all the session variables? I have an idea of building a
    database and writing them all to the db on each page load with the
    last visited page, and then resetting from that on their next
    visit, but is there an easier way through Cold Fusion that I'm not
    aware of? Any assistance is apprecaited.

    I had a client that had hundreds of session variables
    scattered in hundreds of CF pages. There was very little CFLOCKing,
    and consequently the apps were quite unstable in a loaded
    environment.
    What I finally did was to copy the session scope variables to
    ses.request scope variables of the same name, then did a global
    replace of session. with ses.request. In OnRequestEnd.cfm, and
    immediately before all CFLOCATIONs, I copied ths ses.request scope
    back to session scope (locked, of course). There was no measurable
    performance hit, and the apps were rock solid.
    Perhaps you could copy your client variables to session
    scope; then back again in OnRequestEnd.cfm

  • How do I save multliple tabs, new update has no "bookmarak all tabs" option.

    Bookmarks info does not address the issue that "bookmark all tabs" disappeared. The update provides no option to "bookmark all tabs." This option is important to retain research material.

    "It moved to tab contextual menu" - that's very stupid. I can see that stupid browser is played by bunch of retarded kids. Thats why I never let it be updated.
    Again: I-DI-OTS.

  • How do I save my tabs when closing Firefox?

    I used to be able to in the older version of Firefox. Thanks.

    You mean the sites you just visited? See [[How to set the home page]] and then click the link to '''Set What Pages Open when Firefox Starts'''.

  • How do I customize the tab text displayed on bookmarked sites?

    I often use "open all as tabs" for a bookmark folder of weather.com "5 day forecast" sites covering the towns in a geographical region where I plan to go hiking.
    One Firefox browser with six tabs for six towns in my state. "5 day forecast for Gorham," "5 day forecast for Jackson," "5 day forecast for Lincoln," etc.
    The problem is the tab displays only some of the first few words of the site description: "5 day forcas," "5 day forcas," "5 day forcas," etc.
    I'd like to display only the end of that sentence, which is the name of the town. This way I would have a list of towns across the top of the browser for direct reference.
    I changed the "name" property of each bookmark, but that only affects the name in the bookmark collection list, not the display name of a tab in use.

    1. With all due respect for your attempt to help; Of course it's part of the page source! That's a given.
    2. Again, with all due respect for you bothering; Letting me know that you don't think a thing is doable is not helpful, it's just chat.
    Thanks anyway, for your time.

    My instinct is that of course there is something that could be done, it's a computer, every bit of it is adjustable.
    Some browser function grabs the title-tag text for display. It could just as well be redirected by a script (is that the right term?) to grab text held in a list in the bookmark for that page. Let's hear from someone on this idea, please.
    The point is, why have titles on tabs if it is junk information? Best use of the small tab text display area would be an abbreviation!

  • I am trying to sort my bookmarks A/Z. I go to organize book marks and click that command and it puts everything A/z but when I go back to my normal page and click bookmarks it is not A/Z. One I organize it how do I save it that way?

    Sorting Bookmarks in the Library window (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for temporary display. The Bookmarks are not permanently sorted.
    To permanently sort, open the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B opens or closes the Bookmarks Sidebar ---- Cmd+B in OSX), right-click (Cmd+click in OSX) the "Bookmarks Menu" folder and choose "Sort by Name".

  • How can I save more than two tabs when closing Mozilla, so as when I open Mozilla the tabs appear again?

    In the previous edition of Mozilla, when many tabs in one window were opened, at the closing of the window a message used to appear, asking whether you would like to save tabs in use or not, so as at the next opening of Mozilla, the saved tabs would appear again. How can this be achieved in Mozilla 4.

    Firefox 4 automatically saves your tabs and windows when you exit to restore them just click the Firefox button>History menu>Restore Previous Session and it will open your previous tabs and windows in addition to your current tabs and windows.

  • How do I restore my last tab session?

    I've been searching around but can't come across an answer to actually get my tab session back on Firefox.
    I've got the most up to date one 34.0.5
    Restore Tab Session is greyed out. On the Firefox start page there is nothing there.
    People on forums seemed to mention something in the way of sessionstore.bak and other similar files but I can't seem to find them.
    Is there a spot that the sessions get stored that I can restore from?
    Thank you.

    "Restore Tab Session" isn't a default menu item in Firefox. ''"Restore Previous Session" is the English locale menu item wording.''
    Do you have a "tab / session" related add-on installed?
    Or are you using other then an English locale version of Firefox?
    Also, can you provide a screenshot of the your homepage?
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
    It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
    Then use the '''Browse ....''' button below the '''''Post a Reply''''' text box to upload the screenshot.
