How on reboot can I set Firefox to automatically re-load the tabs I had open when I shut down?
Every morning when I do a soft boot to clear the cobwebs out of my PCs brain I have my start settings automatically load 6 apps. Firefox is one. Then I go to a toolbar start tab and click on open all Tabs and it loads 4 tabs for me.
I'm trying to automate this loading of the tabs
I'm using Firefox 4.0. The previous version had a function that asked, when you were closing Firefox, if you wanted the tabs you have open at that point to we load the next time you open Firefox.
This was kind of a jack-leg way of getting tabs open on re-boot, tho it was still an irritation....
This question does not seem to happened in 4.0.
Is there a setting to always invoke the question?
Better yet, is there a setting to always have the tabs / a select group of tabs always open on boot?
Example -in my case I load Vonage, then Sharefile, then 2 home page tabs.
This helps me keep my poor brain organized during the day as I'm multi-tasking in Firefox and the other apps and the phone and such.
My thanks in advance.

Plz: How automatically reopen upon re-start all docs i had open when i shut down?
I want to be able to shut down mac with documents open (which i was working on) and have them all re-open when i re-start my mac.
Surely this is a common problem solved long ago.
I can do that with my browsers, as they reopen all the websites i had open when i shut down.
I need same with my documents.
I don't want to have to remember which ones i had open, and search for and click to reopen each one.
Sometimes i leave my computer on for days because of this problem that i don't want to shut down then have to rethink to reopen all i was working on.
You will be in for a grateful thanking.When you next shutdown the computer you will see a dialog:
Check the box you see above. -
I have gone to 'options' many times to set it to always open with my home page, but it continues to open with the tabs I had open when I closed Firefox.I there a problem with Firefox 30.0?
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

When I use the "Save and Quit" function it has no effect. The next time I open Firefox it goes to my home page only.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 3 days agoThis is not a solution, nor a work-around. The only thing this points out is where the problem lies. Settings are meant to be used in all sessions, barring exceptions and the fact that Firefox asks if you'd rather SAVE and then quit, makes it an exception. The user has elected to skip the clear browsing history step.
However, if the settings are permanently changed as you suggest, then the history will always be remembered for eternity when Firefox is closed. You then have to manually clear your history first at every session before closing.
Older versions of Firefox never behaved in such manner and recognized that the Save and Quit superseded the setting to Clear History. -
Basic HTML Can I set Firefox to automatically load pages as 'Basic HTML'?
Will loading pages as "Basic HTML" load faster?
Pages take 30 - 60 seconds, downloads OK at 1 MB a minute.
Some sites, e.g. Yahoo Mail, have a button to load faster as Basic HTML. Can other sites load as Basic HTML?
So: Can I set Firefox to automatically load as Basic HTML if that site can be?
(Firefox 3.6.15, Windows XP, 2MB RAM, ISP is Hughes satellite in Virginia, USA.)You can look at:

Before Firefox 4, each time I started up the computer in the morning and clicked on Mozilla Firefox, it would load up the windows I still had open when I closed down the night before. Very handy! How do I restore it this terrific time-saving feature?
Thanks

When I lauch Safari (5.1 in 10.7) I want it to open to either an empty page or a designated homepage - but istead it opens all the tabs that were open when I quit Safari. How do i stop this, I cant find any preference to achieve this and see nothing in help. Any help?
Hi James - Thanks for the info! This has been bugging me, too. I'm going to uncheck the Restore Windows box. Agree with you that it should be app specific, tho. I like opening to the last page I was working on in pages and numbers. Hope it doesn't change that!

My computer crashed, so I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox, and I want them all back.
My computer crashed, and I lost all of the tabs I had open in Firefox. When I re-started Firefox, it didn't ask me about starting a new session or restoring the old one. How can I get back the tabs I had open?
I would try calling the support line and pleading your case, as your movies have gone the same place everything else on your computer did when it 'crashed' - the bit bucket. That's why iTunes has repeated warnings and reminders about backing up your purchases, it's why there is backup software built in to MacOS, and it's why everyone says to back up your computer. The stuff on there is both valuable and fragile, and it only takes a $70 external drive and a few minutes every once in a while to make sure it's all safe.
For the record, it's not "because of Apple" that you can't re-download your movies, it's the studios and their contracts that prevent that. -
A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDFFirefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security. -
I just want firefox to remember what I had open before I closed the tab
In the Tools menu select Options to open the options dialog. Select the General panel and change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

After telling my browser to 'not ask this question again' when it asked my if I wanted to save all the tabs before closing firefox, I now just want firefox to open to my homepage when I open it. Can you tell me how to change the settings to undo my previous command?
Look here:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" -
there are 11 tabs open when i open firefox v 6.01.and they are all from a previous session a couple weeks ago..
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

This hasn't always happened. It just started a few days ago and I don't know what triggered it.
Did you see this article linked from the main Firefox Help page?
