When I open firefox before connecting (via 56k modem) or if I leave a previous section open, disconnect and then reconnect, firfox does not work, it remains offline, even though internet is connected. I have to close firefox and reopen

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

Very often when I click bookmarks, it won't work. I have to close firefox and reopen it and then usually bookmarks will open. What's wrong?

Basically, just as I said in the above question, frequently, bookmarks won't open when I click on it. If I close firefox and restart it, usually then I can access bookmarks. Is there anything that will fix this?

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

I pin several urls as appabs, when I close firefox and reopen it they're gone, what am I doing wrong?

pin several app tabs, they work fine for the session, if I close firefox and reopen it they're gone, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Paul

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 the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.

I use Nik soft ware plugins the HDR Efex Pro2 when i save the photo to aperture i have to close aperture and reopen it befor i can view the photo works fine after that. Any help would be great thanks

I have the same problem with NIK Color Efex Pro 4

When I open a link to anew page, I find I have trouble getting back to the first page, so I have to close down and re-opn. The top-left back arrow does not work.

This appears to have happened since I installed Firefox 4 today.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running.

When i close firefox and reopen it, the previus web site reopens again

when i close firefox the web page i was visiting, and i reopen a new session the previous page i was visiting reopens again, i cleared cache, history no hel and reinstalled it no help [lease help me ty .

Use one of these:

When close firefox and reopen, it open all the last webs and popups visited today

I use firefox to work. I'm web developer and in the firefox have instlalled 3 complements and 8 plugs.
When use Firefox, and in different tabs open: GMAIL, web normaly, other web, google, conection with my server plesk, ...
Normaly use 6 to 8 tabs in differents sites, some moments firefox run very slow, at the moment, in one web, it stop, dont run and response.
Than, I close firefox, pause 10 seconds to firefox service stop and reopen, it open all the last webs and popups visited today.
Sometimes, it even opens popups that had been closed for some time ago, sometimes it crashes.
In the same day, it success two or three times.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

After I close Firefox and reopen, my app tabs are not found. Is this correct?

Firefox doesn't save my app tabs. Is this normal or is there a setting that I am missing.

The loss of my app tabs still happens even though I have my settings set up under Options > Privacy to "Firefox will... Remember history." I have not selected the option for Firefox to clear my history. I have not selected private browsing mode.
The problem is this: when I close my app tab(s), or when I use my app tab(s) to browse to another page, my app tab actually does disappear or change, and it does not come back when I subsequently close and reopen Firefox.
This is not the behavior I was expecting for a "permanent" app tab that is "pinned" somewhere. I was told on the features page: "Take sites you always keep open—like Web mail—off your tab bar and give them a permanent home in your browser." To me, permanent means permanent until I actually delete it, like a bookmark on my toolbar. If something is pinned, it should stay pinned down.
I guess I have to use the bookmark toolbar to get the behavior I want. These app tabs are just temporary skinny tabs.

How come when I close firefox, and reopen it, my persona keeps reverting to one that I stopped using (and uninstalled) weeks ago?

Used a Pokemon Black / White persona for about a week, and then got some new ones. I disabled the Pokemon persona and switched to new ones, but when I restart firefox, it reverts back to the Pokemon persona. I even uninstalled the Pokemon persona in my addons section, and somehow it's still reverting back to that.

Did you check the date and time or compared the content of the file prefs.js?
The data of the currently selected persona are stored as the first entry in the pref lightweightThemes.usedThemes.

My cookies disappear when I close Firefox and reopen it. This started about two days ago. Even my Yahoo mail now forces me to login every time. Prior to this, it would retain the login and password for two weeks. What is causing this?

My bank (ING) has cookies that retain my login. Without the login, I have to answer the challenge questions every time. I am not set for private browsing and I have accept cookies from third party sites and until they expire.

As a follow up, I've discovered that this is happening in IE on the same websites. When I log into a different computer and test the same scenarios, the cookies do not disappear. It seems to be a problem on my computer. However, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be glad to hear it.

When I first open firefox it is fast but as I surf it gets slower and slower them stops, I have to close it and restart. what do I need to do to fix this?

I start of using Firefox 7, as I surf or stumble it gets slower and slower loading pages till it just starts to freeze up. I have to shut down firefox and restart. This only happens after 3 or 4 web pages.

As suggested I went to Control Panel & chose Add/Remove Pgms. Now, near the bottom was Windows iLivid Toolbar. I then hi-lighted it & removed it. The date it was last used seemed to be when my problem started. I am not a big user of toolbars (except the main ones); so I had no issues about deleting one that I did not recognize.
Then I opened up Mozilla again & changed my Home Page, using Tools then Options. I closed out Mozilla, then brought it up again & my new Home Page was showing just fine. Wow! What a relief it worked. I hope it lasts. Thanx Firefox !

I have the "never remember my history" selected in options, yet when I close Firefox and reopen, it goes directly to my hotmail inbox. This just started a few days ago, and it's a security hassel. What can I do?

The only way I can clear it is to actually go in and manually delete my history. Help, please! Before a few days ago, my email session would only stay active as long as I didn't close the browser. I believe this applies to all sites requiring a password.

I wonder whether Firefox is not really shutting down completely. Would you mind checking the Task Manager?
After closing Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc and view the Applications tab. Firefox should disappear.
Then check the Processes tab. Click the button to show processes from all users, and click the Image Name column heading to alphabetize for easier visual scanning. firefox.exe should close within 15 seconds, after all file maintenance is completed. If it is not closing, then some other process may be keeping it running, preventing your session from ending.
If the session is ending, and your "When Firefox starts" is not set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", the two normal ways you could be logged back in automatically are cookies and saved passwords.
In case an add-on is responsible, you could try starting in Firefox's Safe Mode with add-ons disabled and see whether Firefox still remembers your session.
First, make a backup of your profile folder for safekeeping. To back up Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
Next, see [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that change anything?

Set homepage to My Yahoo close firefox and reopen and My Yahoo gone back to the main Yahoo page. I open wall street journal I need to log in everytime I exit and re-enter. websites with passwords, password does not show up. did not happen in Firefox 3.6

My baseball forum used to log in as soon as I open bookmark. Now must enter name password to log in. Exit page come back I have to log in again. None my user names passwords stay in the boxes or remain after logging out. I did not set the Permanent privacy mode and then I did set the Permanent mode and neither changes this. I have Accept cookies enabled. I have remember passwords checked. ???

Try clearing your Cookies for the affected websites. 
Tools > Options -> Privacy - Cookies = Show Cookies ''button'' 
Enter the domain in the Search bar at the top and all the Cookies for that URL will appear. Unless you can figure out which Cookie is for "remember me", you'll need to delete them all.
Hold the {Ctrl} key while you click on each Cookie in the small window. When that list is all highlighted, click the Remove Cookie ''button'' in the lower left. 
When you are done click Close.
If that problem persists, you might need to delete the __cookies.sqlite__ file in your Profile folder.

Update 3.615 unable to load; says to close firefox and try again but not versions are on.

do I need to uninstall upgrade and if so how do i do that?

Sounds like a "hang at exit" problem. There are several possible causes for that error. See:
* How to stop the running Firefox process
** In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
** See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
* What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
** http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs (see "Hang at exit" section)
** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
** https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
* You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
** You may need to use '''Safe Mode''' to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
**Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
** If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
