i already try upgrade once and all my tab is lost. and because of that i do system restore and reintall with old one again.
how i can have all my opened tab when upgrade my firefox?
sorry my english is mess....

I do not think anything much has changed with the Firefox system restore files and how they are handled so it may be possible to keep these and use them after an upgrade in a new version of Firefox.
It is '''very important that you backup the Firefox profile''' see
*[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
If you do that you will be able to use the open tabs again. <br />(May need to reinstall Firefox 3.6 again possibly as an additional browser) <br />
You must
* Put that profiles somewhere safe. NOT in the Firefox profile or program path. Your Window's Desktop is ok as a safe place.
*When needed. Only work with copies of those files. Keep the original files and folders safe.
Upgrade to the latest Firefox. Because you are going up so far from 3.6 to 27 do this by installing the new Firefox 27. Do not try using each upgrade step from 3.6 to 27.
Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <br />These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up. <br />(That is why I asked that the profile was backed up FIRST)
You may be surprised and find Firefox still has the old tabs once it is reinstalled.
Post back with how you get on. We should be able to get access to the old tabs again.
In future I suggest you do not try to rely on keeping 300 tabs open all the time without bookmarking them. You will at some stage probably lose some or all of these tabs, or their related states and history.
Please in future
* Backup your profile on a regular basis.
**Once a week means you may only lose one week's open tabs.
*Bookmark important open tabs.
** Bookmarks keep well.
** Open tabs do not keep well & may be lost.
* If possible reduce the number of open tabs you use.

  • When i close Firefox it no longer asks me if i want to save all the open tabs. when i start Firefox only one tab opens and not all the tabs i was using. how can i regain this feature?

    i can no longer save my tabs for my next session

    You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle with a double left-click.

  • How do I print all the open tabs in Photoshop, without clicking on each and printing manually?

    How do I print all the open tabs in Photoshop, without clicking on each and printing manually?

    If the song are part of an album, the album should have a cloud icon for downloading it in full. If they are separate tracks (not in the same album) you will have to download individually.

  • How do I save the open tabs when I close Firefox 5? There should be a dialog box opens that asks if you want to do this. Without it I will stop using Firefox.

    This was available in earlier versions and was a great feature. Please restore it or give us a workaround.

    It seems that they decided to disable this feature by default for some reason. In your address bar, type in "about:config" and search for browser.showQuitWarning" in the filter, without quotes. Double-click this string to set it to "true." Firefox should then ask you if you would like to save and quit, or just quit, when exiting with multiple tabs opened.
    Another option is to go to the "General" tab in your preferences and and under "Startup" -> "When Firefox starts," select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" from the drop-down list. This way, your opened tabs are always saved, and always restored.
    Finally, you can achieve this functionality (and more) with the Session Manager add-on. Session Manager is nice because it allows you to save and restore multiple tab sessions. I also find that it's a more reliable fail-safe for saving your opened tabs when it comes to browser crashes.

  • How do I get back my opened tabs after I update firefox

    After I update firefox I don`t get my opened tabs
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

  • You do nor have sufficient privledges error message when upgrading to Firefox 5 but am an administrator

    Using older Intel iMac 24": Tried to update 3.6 to 5.0 but after dragged Firefox into Applications image and clicking that I wanted to replace older version- following error message
    "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privledges for some of the items."
    However I am the administrator and was using the adminustrator's account. I then closed all other accounts, restarted and tried again with same result.

    In such a situation, the best thing to do is to perform a clean install:
    # Download a new copy of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    # Move the current Firefox from ''Applications'' folder to the ''Trash''.
    # Install Firefox 5.0 that you have just downloaded. For instructions, see [[Installing Firefox on Mac]].
    <BR>Your bookmarks and other personal data is stored in the Firefox [[Profiles|Profile]] folder and will not be affected by these steps.

  • How can I save my open tabs when I close FF4. FF3 gave me the option to save and quit when closing.

    I use multiple tabs every day and they are for the most part the same tabs on Fire Fox 3.6. When I closed my FF3 at the end of the day I had the option of saving my tabs so the would open again the next day.
    On FF4 I no longer have this option. Now it just warns me I'm closing 7 tabs. No option like before.

    One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

  • How do i make it so it ask me to save all open tabs when i close firefox.

    it use to do this automatically when i had the old Firefox but now it never ask i like this feature and would like to know were it is hidden in new Firefox or if it is no longer available is there a add-on that does the same thing

    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.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why is it, after nearly 7 years of existence, they still can't bring out a Firefox that doesn't delete all your saved tabs when you close Firefox instead of saving them?

    See title.

    Are you using '''''Restore Previous Session''''' when you open Firefox?
    Starting with Firefox 4, every session is saved but it is not automatically re-opened, the user needs to restore the previous session. It is in History and on the default homepage.

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''

  • How do you make all bookmarks open in safari when launched?

    Hello Apple community! New mac user here. I really want to know how to automatically have all bookmarks opened after launching safari. Thanks so much!

    There is no way to open "all" bookmarks at launch
    But you can open a group of them at launch as tabs.
    Click the Book icon in the Bookmarks Bar.
    Click Bookmarks Bar in the side bar
    At the bottom left of the right side pane there is + sign. Click on it.
    A new folder will be created.  Name it.
    Checkmark the box  under the column "Auto-Click".
    The new folder will appear in the Bookmarks Bar
    Add your favorites to it. 
    Click "Add Bookmark" in the Safari toolbar and select the new folder.
    When you launch Safari, items in that folder will appear as tabs when you
    click on that folder in the Bookmarks Bar.
    Best,

  • How do I make ff4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs around? It used to be automatic. Now I have to close all my brosers and reopen them for the change to take effect.

    How can I make FF4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs in 1 browser. The change used to be auto and applied to all open browsers last time. Now I need to close every open browser and reopen for the effect to take over.

    I use that add-on. Works great.

  • Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    I came up with an alternative solution.
    Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
    When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

  • Have downloaded v4 and cant save open tabs when exiting so that they automatically open when launching v4 the next time (which is s omething I could do with V3). Please can you let me know how to set this in v4

    With v3 I regularly had 5 tabs open all the time and could save these on exit so that they opened automatically the next time without me having to click individually on each one via bookmarks. V4 does not appear to allow this as a default and I cant find an option to allow it to happen. Please advise

    '''''#This will fix the problem for most I think:'''''
    ''Firefox 4.0 has a new feature that automatically saves your tabs when you close Firefox.''
    Its seems that for many people, this feature was not enabled automatically, instead it is set on a different setting of 'show my homepage' or 'show a blank page'. But it is very easy to change, I just did it myself! Here is how to do it:
    At the top left of the screen is an orange 'Firefox' box, click on it. On the right of the dropdown menu you will see 'Options'. Click on it. Then you will see another 'Options', click on it. This will bring up the Options menu.
    The part we are interested in for this fix is where it says, 'When FireFox starts:'. There is a dropdown selection next to that sentance, click on the little down-arrow, and choose ' Show my windows and tabs from last time'. Then click on 'OK' at the bottom of the Options menu, this will close the menu.
    You should be sorted now, I was. I hope it works for you too. To test it out, have a few tabs open, and close firefox. Then try open it. Those same tabs should re-appear. Holding thumbs & fingers crossed :)
