  • How to restore a previous session after firefox closed and cleared browsing history, is still any chance to get it back there?

    Accidentally shut down the pc and firefox did not come back with option restore previous session at the first screen even in History-Restory previous session is Grey. My settings are clean history after firefox is closed.
    Is there any change to get back on my Tabs from previous session even the history browsing was cleaned? I would appreciate your help!

    In general FireFox will behave in 1 of 3 ways when restarted after a shutdown.
    1. Kill Shutdown
    This happens when the FireFox process is terminated with a TerminateProcess() call or if the FireFox process crashes. It is a dirty exit, no clean-up is done. When restarted after this FireFox will show a "Well this is embarrassing" dialog with options to restore selected parts of the previous session.
    2. Force Shutdown
    This happens when another process asks FireFox to shutdown cleanly (such as a PC restart) by a call to ExitProcessEx() and does not ask the user for confirmation. Normally, when this type of shutdown occurs, Firefox will just restore all tabs and sessions without asking. However if Firefox is set to automatically delete history on shutdown, it can't. I suspect this is your situation. I would suggest to the FF team that deleting history should be skipped in this case, only a user shutdown should delete history.
    3. User shutdown.
    This is when the user tells Firefox to close down (by selecting Exit or closing all tabs etc..). Confirmation is asked to close all tabs (if enabled and more than 1 tab is open). On restart, nothing is restored.
    Unfortunately, if you have auto clear history enabled, there's no way to recover the previous session. Sorry.

  • How to Stop Firefox 18 From Restoring the Previous Session After a Crash

    Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7
    When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I do not want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How do I prevent Firefox from restoring the previous session after a crash?
    Please note:
    1- My home page is set to "blank page"
    2- I have configured Firefox to NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields and passwords.
    3- Even in Safe Mode (i.e., with all add-ons disabled), Firefox STILL restores the previous session after a crash.

    hello Bulldogger, please try the following in order to switch off sessionrestore completely: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' and '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo'''. double-click on those entries and change both of their values to '''0'''.

  • How do i restore the previous version of firefox? I now have firefox 6

    How do i restore the previous version of firefox? I now have firefox 6. AVG Safe Search does not work with 6 and surf the web so much doing research that i need it back. Thanks, Sally

    Using the older version of firefox is not recommended.
    Try the classic theme Restore for Classic firefox Menu's
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
    Still, you want to restore the older version, download from the below link
    *Download Firefox 29 - http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0/mac/
    *Download the English version of Firefox 29 - http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/29.0/mac/en-US/

  • When firefox crashes and reopens it offers to restore pages hours/days old.

    When firefox crashes and is reopened, it usually brings up the pages that were open during the crash, but many times when firefox crashes, it will offer to restore pages that I did look at but that are hours/days old.
    e.g.
    I will be on youtube, facebook, my school website, and pandora. Firefox crashes. I reopen. Firefox offers to restore google search, my email, and wordpress, which I had looked at the night before.

    I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
    This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help!

  • How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process

    How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process
    I use SAP-B12005SP53 and i develop with Business Partner Object

    HI ALL
    TAKE CARE: Nothing was working in VB6, but in .NET it sets the default value !
    from help of VS.
    When you assign Nothing to an object variable, it no longer refers to any object instance. If the variable had previously referred to an instance, setting it to Nothing does not terminate the instance itself. The instance is terminated, and the memory and system resources associated with it are released, only after the garbage collector (GC) detects that there are no active references remaining.
    Garbage Collector distroyes the objects at the end of the sub of function, not in the loop.
    So use local variables when you loading the 7000 items. For me working fine and i do not have a memory problems. I am loading 50000 items with prices from EDI file, and memory usage stops at 120MB.
    1st solution  create a sub or a function to populate the data, and run this for every items by as single rutin,
      sub x
        Dim obj As New Object()
            Try
    ... put here your update code
            Catch ex As Exception
            Finally
                GC.Collect()
            End Try
      end sub
    This free up the memory when Garbage
    2nd solution: use inner loop definition
      sub x
    Try
                Do While True
                    Dim obj As New Object()
                Loop
            Catch ex As Exception
            Finally
                GC.Collect()
            End Try
      end sub
    This free up the memory inside the loop.
    I recommend to use Friend Class keyword for your addon declaration and do not use modules.
    Modules and shared classes will be free up the memory when your program terminates execution.

  • When firefox crashes it not restoring my tabs I once had up ? :(

    when firefox crashes it not restoring my tabs I once had up ? :(

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    If you get that "Well, this is embarrassing" window then that means that Firefox has crashed more than once and there should be a sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak file.

    How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud

    Basics of File Recovery
    Files in Trash
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

    I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • When firefox crashes I lose all of my pinned sites.

    When Firefox crashes or freezes and has to be closed, I lose all of my pinned sites. Why are these saved somewhere?

    App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    It is also possible to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

  • How do I restore a previous session when the Firefox homepage does NOT have the "restore" button and it is grayed out in the menu? menu

    My Firefox homepage had a "Restore Previous Session" button but it has disappeared. SO when my Firefox crashes I lose all my tabs and tab groups, and this is very inconvenient. I have checked through all the "Options" seeing if there is some button there to enable this feature, but to no avail. I am frustrated as after a crash I spend hours revisiting all my links in my History menu to reset my tabs. Can you help?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *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/Clear+Recent+History
