I have firefox on windows xp. I've lost all my tabs!!! No history or bookmarks either. Help
A few weeks ago I lost all my tabs at the top. I tried looking online for different suggestions. Some said to hit Alt + V, but that didn't work. Can you help? I've lost the parts that say "File, edit, view, history, bookmarks, etc..."
Well my husband ran a check on my computer, and it turned out I had a lot of viruses on it! So we got that all cleaned up and protected, so now it's all back! Thanks though. I've been dealing with this issue for over a month!

I have lost all my tabs and the window is not in the recently closed windows.
Basically I opened up another window to do something while having the other window with my 20+ tabs running and that other window contained 1 tab after I was done using that window I closed it and closed my 20+ tab windows. I launch Firefox again to see that I lost all my tabs, I check the recently closed windows and its not there. Please help me! Those tabs contained very important information and I don't believe I rememer all of the websites!
Did you first check if you can restore that previous session and then check for recently closed windows?

I have about 120 tabs in my Firefox navigation bar and clicked on the "customise..." in the dropdown menu from a right click. Up came the opening panel showing all my tabs fanned out, one on top of the other and I didn't know what to do. I guess I must have clicked on them to see what happened but there was nothing obvious so I closed the pop-up screen.
I think it was then that I had a new tab screen appear which I closed and found I could not do anything on my screen that still showed all the tabs.
I am using Ubuntu and Firefox 6 and when I first started Firefox it was embarrassed and had to restart because it had trouble with my tabs. I did not close any of them, just restarted Firefox and it apparently started properly, but the more I think about it the less I remember.
I think looking at tab groups was probably the first thing I did. So I tried to restore all tabs from the history menu but couldn't do so. I found that the "New tab" on File was blacked out.
I was able to "open all in tabs" from the recent bookmarks in the bookmark menu, but couldn't add any new tabs.
In the end I went to Firefox Help and read about Tab Groups. At one stage, I did not have the group icon on the navigation bar so I put it there. When I clicked on it it opened all my recent bookmarks, as per the end of the previous paragraph, in one screen and allowed me to shift individual tabs around. But I cannot do that now.
I have two screens under Firefox that have the "New Tab" under File blacked out and I cannot put the Group icon on the navigation bar.
I have a third screen, this one I am using, that has navigation to Firefox Help, Firefox Password Reset, TalkTalk mail and FirefoxAsk a question. On this screen I have put the Group icon and all the dropdown menus are complete. (Incidentally, I used the TalkTalk tab to open my mail as part of resetting my password and the content of the email is one of the screens that has the "New File" blacked out.)
I am now in the situation whereby I have all my history for the last six months or more and all the bookmarks scattered around in the Library and it will be a lot of work to get back to my original tabs.
Is ther anywhere that the old navigation tabs my be stored?Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone. They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

Can no longer "open all in tabs" from an RSS bookmark in firefox 13
i used to be able to middle click, or right click "open all in tabs" on an RSS bookmark, in the bookmark toolbar. I no longer have that option.
hello, i can replicate this behaviour. firefox 13 contained changes regarding the handling of live bookmarks in order to improve performance, so i don't know if this change happened intentionally or is just a unwanted by-product. i've created [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762089 a bug report] for clarification...

Can anyone help please?
5.0.1 Firefox, application froze then crashed. Restarted it, but no 'restore session' and i've lost all my tabs. Help please?!?!
Done config:restoresession, and nothing.There shouldn't be any numbered sessionstore-##.js in the Firefox Profile Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
The presence of such files usually indicates that that was a problem with accessing the main sessionstore.js file that prevented Firefox from renaming the temp file with the number.<br />
In this case you may be lucky that the file with the highest number may have that session.<br />
You can try to rename the file sessionstore-3.js to sessionstore.js to see if that brings back the lost tabs.
If you use the Time Machine then you can try to restore a copy of sessionstore.js from around the time that you lost that session. -
firefox auto updated to "5.0", then when opening firefox, got "unresponsive script"(which had to be closed to start firefox, and then the same opening w/each new window...(In doing this I then lost all previous tabs).
Can you help?''FredMcD [[#answer-691408|said]]''

Fred,
Thanks so much for the reply. Amy way you could elaborate on the "known issue" aspect? Is there another thread I missed? Some sort of Knowledge base article? also, I'm not sure why you linked to the page you did. FF is installed on all my machines and I can of course download the latest version every couple of weeks and push it to all my lab iMacs using ARD, so I'm confused as to why you linnked me to FF's installer page - is there something I can do with the installer that will alow auto-updates that I'm missing/not aware of?
Again, thanks for the heads-up and any further elaboration on either further info on the issue or how I might use the installer to auto-update all my machines will be appreciated. -

Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but Microsoft Update couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?
Hi Diovizor,
Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
Hope that helps! -
My PC Windows 7 hard drive crashed. I have a new hard drive. But i lost all my CD's that i had burned onto iTunes. They are all still on my iPhone 4s, but when i sync, only the purchased songs will import. Is there anyway to retrieve them? Thanks!
Restore your library from your most recent backup (you do keep regular backups, I hope). If the hard drive is in any way salvageable it may be possible to mount it in an external enclosure, connect it to your PC, and retrieve data from it even if it is not functioning as a primary OS drive (if you don't have the kit necessary to do this, your local PC repair shop may be able to help). Failing that, you can always recreate your library by re-importing your CDs.

I am furious....I dont want to optimize my browser for Yahoo.....and when I started my computer this morning, it started in Firefox without asking me, without my Walnut add on, and no tabs, of which I had many.....now I have the walnut add on, but am missing all my many tabs that I used every day....is there a place where they are stored? Why did this happen? Who said it was alright for Yahoo to step in and optimize for themselves? I dont want Yahoo search, I want Google search...
I think I found your backup ...
from Apple Support:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

I had firefox open twice and accidently closed one, leaving one open. Then I closed the other. The first had 22 tabs open, the second just one. When I opened firefox again it only remembered the last window I closed, the one with just one tab open. This has happened once before and it remebered the window with one tab open, but I just closed it and opened it again and it remembered the window with multiple tabs open. This time, though it will not remember the 22 tabs and I ve tried closing it and re opening several times, but my 22 tabs dont re-appear. I ve tried contacting Mozilla and there is no way of doing so, unless I want to fly to the US and knock on their door, as their address is the only contact details they give. I really need those 22 tabs open again as I cant remember them all ! Some tabs have only been open a few days, some for months so a simple check in history wont help.
garferi, thanks for the pointer about File -> Exit. However, I find it a clumsy solution: no one is using File -> Exit if there is a closing button. No one will ever know this crucial difference between the commands unless they do specific investigation. There is no keyboard short-cut for that File -> Exit command either, even as the Mozilla folk are advising to use it.
Consider this. I have opened a lot of tabs. I have created several tab groups, and I have opened a lot of tabs in each of them. I open Firefox, do stuff, close Firefox numerous times. Then once I get a pop-under window that I miss. It's easy - they are designed to be missed. I want to exit Firefox, so I click on the close button. I am now left with the pop-under window. I close that one too, and upon the next Firefox start all my tabs in all my tab groups are lost. -
I recently replaced the hard drive on my Windows 7 computer and in the process lost all my music. I think it should be on the iCoud. Can I get it back from the iCloud to my computer? Or can I "reverse-synch" FROM my iPhone TO iTunes?
All the music you purchased from iTunes can be re-downloaded, all the music you acquired without purchasing from iTunes can be accessed using Senuti (not free). The combination of these 2 will get your music back.

I lost all my backup and my mac got realy slow...
Any suggestion if it is possible after all to recover my old back up from the time capsule? I guess it lost though.Mount and open the internal disk of the Time Capsule. How many "sparsebundle" files do you see? If you only have one Mac using Time Machine but you see two such files, then one of them has your old data. In this case you may have missed a chance to continue using the old Time Machine file.

yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed apps incouled my pics and vids from my iPhone pls help me.
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
