I can´t restore my tabs (and I´ve already checked the History-Recently Closed Tabs)

If, by accident, I click on the bottom part of Firefox (above Windows´ taskbar) the browser sort of minimizes and I can´t reopen it, I have to cancel everything I´m doing. As I usually work with many tabs, a pop-up asks me if I want Firefox to save my tabs for next start, and I click on "Yes", but then, when I open it, I can´t restore them at all, even if I go to History-> Recently Closed tabs...
How can I solve this???
Please, I´d really appreciate it if you could help me, because this is so annoying, and makes me waste a lot of time!

Hi Morbus,
Thanks for your quick response. I set Tools>Options>General>Show my windows and tabs from last time as you told me, but it didn´t work. I also disabled add ons and ran the Safe Mode, though I still got no solution, so this is my Troubleshooting Info:

  • Where is the 'History Recently Closed Tabs' menu in Firefox 29

    There used to be a 'Recently Closed Tabs' in the old orange Firefox 28 menu. Now it seems version 29 only has a 'Restore Closed Tabs' menu item in its 'History menu'. There seems to be no option to restore individually closed tabs. I'm always closing a tab by accident, and the old method was very fast and easy.
    Another person asked about this, but it seems his only solution was the 'Undo Closed Tabs Button' Add-On:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997285?esab=a&as=aaq
    In the old menu, you had access to your recent history, 'Clear Recent History', 'Restore Previous Session', 'Recently Closed Tabs', and 'Recently Closed Windows' in one easy to access spot. Now all that is buried, or doesn't seem to exist anymore.
    Is there any way to re-configure the new menu to include at least the 'Recently Closed Tab's menu again?

    You can click History in the 3-bar Firefox menu button on the Navigation Toolbar to see the sections for recently closed tabs and recently closed windows.
    You can also unhide the menu bar and open the History menu.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.

  • Suddenly with version 9 and 10 i cant use the shortcut command of ctrl+shift+t to open the most recently closed tab.

    Suddenly with version 9 and 10 i cant use the shortcut command of ctrl+shift+t to open the most recently closed tab. a feature used several times a day, previously. This is very Frustrating to me, i have tried looking up a tool keyconfig 20110522 and looked that it says that ctrl+shift+t is the right command, but i still cant use it WHY oh WHY?? if i could get some help figuring this out it would be so awesome, cause i love Firefox, been using it almost daily for the last 10 or so years and i don't intend to switch soon.

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] This is a temporary diagnostic session and you can exit anytime and start Firefox normally again. This session disables all the '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.

  • HT201269 how can i restore my ipad from a previous backup (not the most recent)

    how can i restore my ipad from a previous backup (not the most recent). I can get the restore from backup, but there is only the most recent one visi
    ble

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

  • Ctrl + Shift + T doesn't work anymore. History -- Recently Closed Tabs still works. Other hotkeys still work.

    I am using Nightly-Elm 21.0a1 Recently Ctrl + Shift + T stopped working. History --> Recently Closed Tabs still works. Other hotkeys also still work.
    I already tried Safe Mode, didn't work. In a new profile it does work.
    This guy (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/853883) seemed to have the same problem. The solution offered was to transfer some files from a fresh profile. I am not sure what files to transfer. I tried the prefs.js, but that didn't help.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • I can log into yahoo but when I click mail I get a message saying that firefox can't find my address and asking me to check the spelling. Even plugging in the right address doesn't work though my wife can log into her email just fine.

    Ever since removing and updating Adobe Flash Player I suddenly cannot get my Yahoo email page to come up with Mozilla 4.0 or 3.6. I can log into yahoo but when I click on Mail from the welcome page I get an error message saying that it cannot find the email address and asking me to check the spelling. I have tried removing and redownloading 4.0 and 3.6. Same problem. With other browsers--Opera, Chrome, and Safari--I don't have this problem. Please help me solve this problem as Mozilla is my default browser.

    Its known issue, see;

  • How can I restore deleted file attachments from further back than the history tool will let me go?

    I have a open form that collects registration information from customers, including documents and images that they can upload using file attachment fields.  Back on 2/24 I inadvertently deleted the several hundree responses that the form had collected up until that point.  Using the history tool, I accessed older, intact versions of the form, selected the deleted rows, and copy/pasted them back into the latest verskon of the document.  It seemed to work fine, but I didn't look closely enough to see that the attachments had been lost.  The file referenvces were still there, but they had little red exclamation marks next to them and couldn't be opened.
    A couple week later, I discovered this and tried to go back into the form's hsitory again until before that accident on 2/24.  However, I can no longer go back in time that far.  The system only seems to let me go back around 10 days.
    We need to recover the lost file attachmentrs.  Is there  a self-service way for me to restore my form back to 2/24, including file attachments?  If not, could an Adobe supprrt technician hele me to do that?
    Thank you

    lol, nevermind. I came across an article that made it easy. For anyone else with this problem it's real simple.
    Open itunes
    File>Add Folder to Library
    select 'itunes' and it will add your music to your library
    Although it went through all my apps asking if I want to replace or don't replace with newer, when it finished all my music appeared in itunes just like I left it before reinstalling Win 7. Easy Peasy. I've seen others with same problem but nobody seemed to have this easy solution.
    Now I can finally plug in my iphone and sync without losing all my music from my iphone.

  • HT1766 Can I restore my iPhone from an older backup than the most recent?

    Ca. I restore my iPhone from a backup that is older than the most recent one?

    Hey Geigerfam4,
    The following info covers restoring from earlier backups:
    You can choose from up to three of the most recent backups associated with your iCloud account. Each backup shows the date and time the backup was created, as well as the name of the device that created the backup. Unless you want to restore an older backup, choose the most recent backup of the device you want to restore.

  • When Firefox crashes, tabs aren't saved, and Recently Closed Tabs/Windows are grayed-out

    Although I had "Show My Windows and Tabs from Last Time" set in Options, my tabs aren't being restored after a crash. I also had my Home Page set to my Yahoo Mail page upon opening a new session. I then changed my Home Page to a blank page, but that hasn't worked to restore my open tabs after a crash. To make matters worse, under History,Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows stay gray, so I can't restore the open tabs from there, either.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    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 '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

  • Undoing 'Recently Closed Tabs' no longer available - please help!

    I find myself unable to access the 'undo closed tab' option, which I have previously found so useful. When I go to History > Recently Closed Tabs, the Recent Closed Tabs entries are greyed-out. How can I reactivate this essential functionality please?

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Recently Closed Tabs is not working for me

    Recently closed tabs is not working for me. Whenever I go to History -> recently closed tabs is not available and the shortcut does not work. It happened a few weeks ago and when it first happened, the shortcut would open tabs from weeks earlier. I can't find any information on this and would like to see it fixed.

  • Install update to 3.6.16. New version lost tab history, "Recently closed windows" is inactive.

    I downloaded and installed the update to Firefox 3.6.16. When the new version opened, my browsing history from previous use had disappeared, only one tab was present. The [History/Recently Closed Windows] was grayed, so not accessible. Is there any way to restore my previous browsing history from a file?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Why does my reopening my most recently closed tab (CTRL+SHIFT+T) open the tab in a new tab group in beta 9?

    If you mean that you can't find the App Store app on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? If it is hidden then unhide it and the app should then appear on your iPad's homescreen, and you can then re-download your apps via the Purchased tab in it.
