How do I start FireFox without remembering tabs or stop it without caching them?

When I start FF it starts with the tabs I last had opened when I shut it down. But I want a fresh FF without my tabs up. How do I get FF to either not remember what was open when I stop it, or how do I start it fresh with no tabs?
Thanks

When you ask firefox to save your main page under General, check there is only ONE link under home page.
I noticed that Firefox allows multiple home pages to be stored everytime you open a new window.

  • How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

    Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
    I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
    Sorry for my bad English.

    This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
    The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

  • How do I get Firefox to remember two usernames and passwords for att.yahoo?

    Firefox remembers one username and password, does not auto-fill-in the information (which is good), but will not ask to remember the second username and password. How do I get Firefox to remember the second username and password?
    I have two e-mail accounts which use the same login page, one account is sbcglobal and the other is yahoo. I would like Firefox to remember both sets of information so I don't have to type all the username and password information for one account.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • How do I start firefox in safe mode on a Mac as the equivalent of holding option key whilst starting doesn't open dialogue on Mac?

    I am trying to reset toolbars and am following firefox's help instructions. How do I start firefox in safe mode on a Mac as the equivalent of holding option key whilst starting doesn't open a dialogue box on the Mac?

    Thanks Morbus.. I hadn't noticed that but it was already set at Mac. I tried it again and it worked this time... but alas my main problem persists:
    My back and forward buttons don't work in Firefox and I've lost all of my bookmarks! I've tried a few of the suggestions but without success at the moment.
    Particularly unhelpful are the instructions to back-up your lost bookmarks - which I can't do cos they're lost!!

  • When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?

    When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
    how can I do this?

    I'm not sure what causes this.
    As the first step, I recommend backing up your existing sessionstore files.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Scroll down to the files whose names start with sessionstore. You should find at least sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If the .js extension does not appear on sessionstore, you should turn off the Windows feature that hides file extensions from you, so that you can work with file names as accurately as possible. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
    Make backup copies of all the sessionstore files to somewhere like your Documents folder for possible later restoration.
    Next, try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

  • How can I get Firefox to remember a password?

    I was trying to log in to a website but had forgotten my password so I was routed to the security questions. Each time I entered a security question answer, the little Firefox box popped up asking me if I wanted Firefox to remember this "password". Each time I clicked on "Not now" and continued. When I had finally been sent a temporary password, logged into the site and changed the password, I logged out and logged in again. Of course, this time the little box did not pop up offering to remember the password! How do I get Firefox to remember my password?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.

    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

  • How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a site and then not ask the same question over and over?

    How do you get Firefox to remember the response sent to remember password for a web site and not ask over and over? The desktop version has a dialog box that you can check that says "Don't ask me this again". The mobile version doesn't. A real pain!
    Thankx

    You can switch off or uncheck the remember password in your settings :-)

  • How can I get Firefox to remember my open tabs the way it once did?

    In the past, each time I reopened Firefox, the tabs which I had had opened opened back up. But the other day I accidentally installed a "Radio.... something or other" toolbar while trying to listen to an ESPN press conference. After I added that toolbar, the next time I opened Firefox, none of my tabs re-opened, so I uninstalled the toolbar, but now, when I close Firefox, with several tabs open, and then re-open it, it does not remember the previously open tabs.
    Thanks,
    Doug Weiskopf

    hello doug, this toolbar was probably adware which still left remnants on your system, so please perform all these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • How do I start Firefox in Debian 5 directly from shell script without a dialog asking what to do?

    Running Debian 5.04. I downloaded the tarball from Mozilla website and extracted the files to my home directory. When I double-click on the Firefox start-up shell script, I get a dialog window asking if I want to run ina terminal window, display the shell's contents or run the program. Choosing "Run" starts Firefox successfully, but I'd like to by-pass the dialog and just have Firefox start. How to do this? TIA
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I unpacked the tarball to my home directory. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/20080528 Epiphany/2.22

    Right click on the desktop and choose 'Create Launcher'. There enter the details so start the program directly not via a script. This did the trick for me for another program.

  • How do i set firefox to remember my user id and password for yahoo mail. i've changed my yahoo password, so i want firefox to remember the new ones.

    I want to know how to set firefox to remember my yahoo mail id and password. i've changed my password, but firefox only remember the old password. So, i've erased it in the security settings.

    If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
    You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
    If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
    Yahoo uses "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords, so you need to use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet.
    You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.
