I need more information on using the App Tab feature

The Help article on App Tabs says "Links to new websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change." Unfortunately, mine do change the existing tab instead of opening a new one, so the next time I open Firefox all the App Tabs open at the last page I viewed on that site. How can I set the tabs so that they all stay at the original address as intended?

You need to middle click links as usual to open them in a new tab if you do not want to change the current page in an App tab. Otherwise you need an extension that can lock tabs to prevent that from happening.
You can look at Tab Mix Plus.

  • I try to use the App Tab feature. if i close the browser i loose all the App tab that i already create. It should open the App tabs when the brouser starts again.

    The benefit of app tab is to save this buttons to use them again later on.
    when i close the browser they are lost.

    Thank you so so much! I would have never thought to move apps around on my iPad (truth be told the newsstand app is the most useless for me, I wish I could just delete it) and was super happy that iOS 7 allows you finally put that sucker in a file along with the rest of the junk apps I never use.
    Solved he issue! I can upload videos to my vlc for iOS player once again!

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

    Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
    I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

    Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
    The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
    But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
    You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
    Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
    # "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
    # "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
    # "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
    ''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
    The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
    '''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
    to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
    Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
    it does not necessarily close Firefox .
    The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
    File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
    In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X

    Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
    If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>

    '''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
    :Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
    Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    when I open a new tab nothing new happens, I still have the old new tab. How to activate the new tab feature of firefox?? I tried the turorial but nothing

    Did you set the startup page to about:newtab ?
    What is the setting of the browser.newtab.url pref and the browser.newtabpage.enabled pref?
    Do both prefs have the default value?

  • I tried to use the app tabs but when I reopen my browser they are not there anymore

    I added my favorite tabs as app tabs but when I restart my browser they are not there anymore, is that normal?

    App tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

  • I followed the instructions for making an APP TAB and succeeded BUT everytime I close Firefox, the app tab disappears upon re-opening. Can someone help please? I held the control button plus I clicked and selected the "Pin..as app tab".

    As my question asks, I followed instructions for creating an APP TAB for my web mail account, and succeeded but each time I close and re-open Firefox, the app tab disappears. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please?

    For better or worse, I think it's part of the design for the app tabs to be window specific. I know my first reply didn't solve your problem, but that was one way that worked for me to get the app tabs back when I restarted Firefox. Also I noticed the tag for this post is Firefox 4. I've only tried it with Firefox 5.
    I agree with you that the way it's working isn't ideal. For the time being, I've stopped using the app tabs. Maybe they'll fix/improve it soon.

  • I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated.  And can't used the app card number.  Any advice???

    I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
    Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

    If you are having problems convincing them it is an Account/Apple ID problem (even though it only effects the Mac's use of it in iMessages) ask to speak to a Level 2 person who should be more knowledgeable because fixing and Id issue is free and not subject to Apple Care.

    I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?

    Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
    Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
    Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps?  You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    My iPad will not join the iCal at my work after I've been invited. It says it needs more information. What up?

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
