I recently upgraded to Firefox 4. I cannot find the trick to make Firefox 4 remember my tabs when I shut down my computer. How do I get that feature back?

In the prior version, on exit, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save my tabs for the next session. Firefox 4 does not do that. It loses my tabs so when I open up a new session I am starting from scratch rather than where I left off at.

Thanks for posting back, Glad it worked.
There are the two entirely separate methods of resuming with the previous tabs. As mentioned in the first part of my message, the method you have chosen is to specifically start with the last set of tabs instead of starting with a home page.
The other method is to (maybe more as a one off) select to open with previous tabs from either the button in the default page, or from the history menu. It is this method that previously had the question as you closed down, there is no longer the question asking if you want to save the open tabs, although you do still get the option to use them on startup. It is a more sensible method, but it does cause concern for those of us used to being asked on closedown.

Previously Firefox would show a number at the end of the file name (renaming the file by adding a number) showing that I had already downloaded a file at least once before. Recently that isn't happening. How do I get that feature back?

I've upgraded to yosemite, and it tells me that safari doesn't support the community toolbar?? How do I get that feature back?

I've upgraded to yosemite, and safari tells me it doesn't support "community toolbar". How can I get this feature back?

The "community toolbar" is part of the adware Conduit. You don't want that feature back!

I have macbook pro. The pinch open and close is not working in firefox 4, but works in safari. How can I get that feature back

To find pinch open and close and how it works in macbook pro go to the apple icon. Open system preferences and the choose trackpad. Each item is illustrated.

You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false

In Firefox 3.6.10 there is a save and quit option when I shut down two opentabs, how do I get this in firefox 4.0.1?

When closing Firefox version 3.6.10 with two or more tabs open I am asked 'Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?' I then have the option to 'Save & Quit', 'Quit' or 'Cancel'. This does not seem to be available in Firefox 4.0.1. Is there any way I can get this option in Firefox 4.0.1?
If not it looks like I shall have to continue with 3.6.10

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

The little search bar used to keep Google search phrase showing but in Firefox 5.0 it doesn't. How do I get that feature back?

I'm not sure what the feature is technically called. I have Google as the start page and use that to search.
In older versions of Firefox, after entering a search phrase in the main Google search bar, the phrase was shown next to a little Google icon. It was usually below the bar showing the URL I happened to click on.
I could then open a new tab and click on the little Google icon and get more search results in that new tab. I could then compare web pages on different tabs.
Maybe I have set the tabs function up differently? In any case, I hope there is a way to use the same search phrase in different tabs.
Thanks.

You're welcome

Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

To be more clear:
Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?
See [[Clear Recent History]]

When I close Firefox and then come back to it later a box comes up that says it's already running. It says to close Firefox first but when I hit close nothing happens and the box comes up again. I have to shut down my computer and restart to get into Firefox again. If I can't get this fixed I will start using someone else. Someone told me a way to close Firefox but I forgot what they said.

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Brian.
You don't need to restart your computer to open Firefox again: you just need to close it manually through your application manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC in Processes tab). Anyway, hopefully this support article is what you need:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs
What's probably happening is that you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed??

I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed?? i noticed there was something wrong when I talk on the phone it will mute, hold or speaker the calls. It's very annoying how can I fix the light sensor

Was your cracked screen fixed by an Authorized Apple Service Provider? I may be wrong, but I didn't think they fixed such things.
Regardless of who fixed it, and whether it was an authorized repair or not, I recommend bringing it back to the agency that fixed it in the first place. But note if the repairing agency is not authorized by Apple, you may not want to spend much more money on repairs there for this unit.

If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 on 9/12 and during my order I could upgrade my current iPhone 4s and get $100 towards the iPhone 6. How do I get that $100 back?

I pre-ordered my iPhone 6 on 9/12 and during my order it said I could upgrade my current iPhone 4s and get $100 towards the iPhone 6. How do I get that $100 back becaus eit did not come off the order and when I look at the trade in value it is only $36

Hi GBR94, currently we would only have one set promotion for the new iPhone and that would give you $200.00 off when trading in a previous iPhone model that would be free of phsyical damage. However, if you are not using this promotion and still would be eligible for upgrade you would be able to receive the standard upgrade discount off your device.

I had to reset Firefox and now cannot find the calendar, how do I get it back?

I was removing files associated with web.longfintuna.com from my PC. I then reset Firefox. When I open Firefox, all my email, bookmarks.etc. are there. However I cannot find the calendar. I had it before and now cannot locate it.

When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

I updated to Firefox 4, but cannot find the content of my Read it Later addon lists anymore. Where is it?

The icon for Read it Later is still there, but I cannot find the actual content any more since I switched to Firefox 4. Where is it?

In Firefox 4, I cannot find the "Tools" menu. Where is it?

The first question I asked was how to disable the pop-up window feature. I cannot uncheck the block box in the control panel!! There was a red box around this option and when I tried to uncheck this option, nothing happened.
The 2nd question is that I don"t see the "tools" menu after clicking on the firefox tab?

The Menu Bar is hidden by default in Windows 7. Please read this article to show it:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20bar%20is%20missing
Once you select to show it, you should see the Tool option, then go to Options > Content and you can disable the pop-up window by CHECK it.

I seem to have caought some kind of virus. Firefox says it cannot find the server for whatever site I have designated. I deleted and reinstalled to fix any corrupt files but the problem persists. Firefox simply does not work.

It will only open the firefox opening window, nothing else. If I put in my home page, Yahoo, it says it can't find the server. Same for any other URL. I fully deleted Firefox, including the FireFox folder in applications, and reinstalled to no avail.

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.
