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 do I delete bookmarks from the Firefox Home app on my iphone?

I just installed Firefox Sync on my iphone and it has successfully synced all of my bookmarks. After I read a bookmark on my phone, I'd like to delete that bookmark permanently so I don't have to delete it on my computer as well. I can't find an option to delete bookmarks - am I missing something?

No. It's very involved. That initial syncing of the bookmarks
Was all done at once. After I processed the
Firefox home app onto the phone. there has to be a way that automatically transfers any new bookmarks from the PC to
The home app on the iPhone.
it's supposed to sync automatically. but there is no new data.

How to restore your Library when the Music is on the iPod

Assuming you all have good intentions, sometimes we all have the problem of losing our entire Library. Luckily, the iPod is a hard drive, so recovery of music can be easy if you really know how to do it. I decided to present this information to you since this information isn't shared that often, if ever on Apple Discussions.
To start, Plug in the ipod.
Right before it starts updating in iTunes, click the eject button in the Source navigation bar.
Then go into My Computer.
Double click on your iPod. Click the Tools tab, and then Folder Options.
In Folder options, click "view all hidden files".
Click OK.
There should be an iPod Control hidden folder that now appears.
Theres also a music folder in there.
Double click on it and there shall be folders labeled "F" with a random number next to each of them.
Inside those F# files, all your music is there.
Go back to the Ipod Control folder.
Drag the entire music folder into your desktop.
It shall copy, and then you have all the files on your computer.
Mass drag all the music files into a visible folder.
Take the physical folder, and drag it into My Music.
Then, open iTunes and go to the File tab.
Click Add Folder, and then add your music folder.
All your music should be in your library.
Following that, deauthorize your computer, and then re-authorize any Music Store files you might have.
I hope that helps you!!
You also could just backup all your music on blank DVDs too, if you have the right burner. That would eliminate the use of an iPod in the above process and save you some money. The third option is to buy a seperate hard drive, but why do that anyways if you can now rip the songs off your iPod?

Katie,
While your intentions are admirable, you present opinions that are contradictory to the facts:
-- iPod recovery methods have been available on these Discussions fro quite some time. See:
Don King Resurrected, "Deleted files from hard drive" #1, 01:49am May 30, 2005 CDT
MacMuse, "Computer Crashed" #3, 11:48pm Feb 7, 2005 CDT
-- These links, among others, are referenced by many of us here to help others several times a day,
i if not more.
Sometimes directly, but usually by links or references to other posts.
See this as an example: Buegie, "Transferring music to new computer" #1, 10:56am Oct 25, 2005 CDT
Both MacMuse and Don King have been, and continue to assist folks who need to recover songs from their iPod onto iTunes. Both with very good step-by-step cost-free instructions. There are also many posts that direct individuals to third-party software that can do the same thing. Again - frequently posted here.
More importantly:
i "The third option is to buy a seperate hard drive, but why do that anyways if you can now rip the songs off your iPod?"
Advocating the above is very risky. Using the iPod for your music 'backup' is very dangerous. Especially if it it your sole music repository in addition to iTunes. A true backup is one that it stored away from the primary uses of your music (this means somewhere other than the iPod or in iTunes). Many careful folks here have multiple backup files; both on DVD and external HD.
In fact, the ExHD (or second internal HD) is one of the easiest and quickest means to make a complete backup of your music files. They are extremely cheap these days and should be used by anyone who has a large Library they wish to keep safe.
Expecting the iPod to be a source of backup music is just asking for trouble:
Buegie, "Library and Ipod Question?" #1, 03:07pm Oct 9, 2005 CDT
In a perfect world, we would not need to assist folks in recovering songs from their iPod -- if they had made proper backups in the first place.
Please continue to help folks as you have. Just don't ignore or diminish the work already done by those ahead of you. A reasonable exploration of these Discussions by you would have turned up the above information and its importance.

Each time I want to use Firefox I have to go into Internet Explorer, go to the Firefox website and dowlload it again. It just won't open by itself on my computer.

How do I remove bookmarks when the star at the end of the bar is white, not blue?

I am trying to clean out my bookmarks and certain ones will not go away. The bookmarks that continue to appear even after I have clicked "remove bookmark" are those that do not have a blue star at the end of the website address line. The star at the end of these addresses is visible, but is white (or unfilled), not blue like the ones that have been deleted.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I updated to 6. In Tools, blocked cookies and now can never open Firefox. The allow cookies window is stuck. How do I get rid of the firefox browser and go back to 5. I did have malware on computer that was removed, but still ...not working

On Saturday, Sept. 3, I updated to Mozilla Firefox 6. I went into the Toolbar, I think to private browsing, but not sure now. I asked that all cookies be blocked. A window came up from my home page that said "Allow, Allow this session only, Deny Cookies." I said Deny and it told me 19 cookies were being blocked. I have never been able to get the window to leave the browser home page. In fact, I can not make any choice in that window. The window kind of shakes. I went for professional help and did have malware that I had not known was there that was removed. Technician worked 3 hours. It was called "PUM.Hijack.Start." The Mozilla browser is still stuck like that. I am on Internet Explorer, but I would like to have Firefox back again. What steps do I take next?

I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
Latest revision of firefox.
After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

How can i get rid of the winbindd crashes and respawn throttling

Whenever I open new tabs Firefox crashes and the browser window closes automatically.what will I do?

I am facing this problem since a month.I never faced this problem before.I always feel good to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.I used to open multiple tabs in a same browser window.For example- in a tab I logged in to Facebook,at same time I might be downloading songs or something else or open another site in the other tab.It might be 2 or 3 tabs sometimes.But now a days,I am facing the problem whenever I open multiple tabs.Its unusual and so much annoying.The Firefox crashes and the browser window closes showing a messege to send an error report.Please Help me.
N.B. - I am using the Windows service pack 2.
RAM - 2 GB
Hard disk MEmory - 250 GB.

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

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

I have a new computer and my old drive has my UNSAVED bookmarks on it and I want to import them, how do I do it when the bookmarks are not SAVED?

You can backup the bookmarks on the old computer and create a JSON or HTML backup and restore or import this file in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can use an USB stick to transfer the saved bookmarks file to the new computer.<br />
You can also copy the places.sqlite file from that computer to have the bookmarks and the history.

How can I restore my bookmarks with old Firefox Sync?

I have key sync and password from old Firefox Sync. And I want to restore my bookmarks.
Three years ago I use Firefox sync, but since i don,t use it.

You need to connect to Sync using a pre-Firefox 29 version to restore a connection to the Sync server and try to recover your data. Then follow the instructions to update your Sync account for Firefox 29. See this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
Firefox 29+ uses a hidden Recovery Key and no way to enter the old "Key".
Three years of inactivity? Your data may not be there, Sync wasn't intended to be a data storage cloud. It was created to keep multiple Firefox installations synchronized.

Firefox crashed and after restarting, tabs i had open were gone and weren't in the history either. It didn't give me the option of restoring, how do i get them back?

Sorry , you probably can not get them back.
You may have bookmarked them, or have them as part of the History previously stored and still searchable, but unfortunately otherwise you are unlikely to get them back. Firefox does to a certain extent back up bookmarks automatically but not the history.
If you get problems with crashes see [[firefox crashes]]

Bookmarks - Hate the firefox version. Double click on the site to bookmark and the book it too small. And when in the bookmark window on the right side of the screen there is no way to know which folder you are actually in. Help.

Bookmarks - Hate the firefox version. Double click on star in the address window to bookmark the site and the pop-up window is too small and user unfriendly. And when in the bookmark window and have bookmarks on the right side of the screen there is no way to know which folder on the left you are actually in. Is there any way to upgrade the bookmarks feature. So frustrating I might actually go back to IE because of this. Thanks.

I have sort of the exact same problem. Extremely far away from user friendly
I have an second issue as well: When I hook off all-day it comes up with an 8 hour event!
And then if I put in a late start hour it pushes end time to next day due to the 8 hour event suggestion.
All in all this gives a lot of changes just to enter an event.
Command N
I learnt from your input to use this fuction. At least that comes up with a one hour event as default.

# Question

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!
