I want FF to open my last browsing session, but not open tabs unless I choose to

I am re-setting my settings after a FF 'refresh' . I was able to open FF browser & Session Manager would prompt me to open last session, it would open, but not actually 'open' any sites, until I physically clicked on a site (in a tab)...how to I get this option again, please ??
Step by step instructions, please I am a novice, I just cannot remember the name of this option, all I know is that it fits my needs perfectly, and kudos for the person who invented it, it makes my browsing life sooo much easier....I remember when the option first became available, I jumped on it & life has been fantastic ever since. I did a little browsing today whilst waiting for my original question to be answered, & really missed it....
I am running WIN XP PRO SP 3.0 32 bit on a desktop computer.
Thanks & kind regards
Sylvia

Thanks so much Mark, I did unintentionally discover this after a lot of hours adding back all the things I lost when I did a 'refresh' of FF...sigh
I am very grateful for your answer, though, as the Question is now in the archives, and that has to be a good thing, as I am not the only novice out there...lol...
Blessings

  • The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

    Question
    The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

    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.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    <br />
    Another possibility is to use:

  • Bug: Your last browsing session closed unexpectedly message after every boot

    It appears HP Smart Web Printing 4.51 has a bug. After installing it on Vista Ultimate 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit version), everytime I shutdown then start up the computer and open up Internet Explorer 8, I get the message:  "Your last browsing session closed unexpectedly. Restore your last session or Go to your home page". And this happens after I close down Internet Explorer 8 normally. This never happened before.
    I did a test: closed down Internet Explorer 8 normally, uninstalled  HP Smart Web Printing 4.51, and rebooted my computer. The  "Your last browsing session closed unexpectedly" message did not appear anymore. Definitely a bug.

    I'm sure that there can be other causes to this with IE, and if you are not running HP software on your XP then it is not related, however it is the cause for us running smart web printing on our particular machines.
    I have four: two deesktops, two laptops, running from XP sp3 to win 7 RTM - all running ie8, all started the same issue after install of SWP latest version, note latest version. and all stop after that process is either prevented from running on startup, or the program is removed. Enough proof for me considering the history of this company's SW packages.
    If I dont find another solution I plan on disabling the notification thru a registry edit. It's annoying more than helpful to receive it every single time you open for an initial session, plain and simple, and a result of bad coding.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

    Did you follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • I want to delete certain emails on my ipad but not on my mac.  Right now when I delete a message on my ipad it moves to trash in my mac

    I want to delete certain emails on my Ipad but not on my mac.  Right now when I delete message on ipad it moves message on mac to trash also.  Can I change this?

    If this is an IMAP account, that is how it is supposed to work.  The whole point of IMAP is to keep your email synchronized across multiple access devices.
    Instead of trash, you could move those files to a new IMAP folder you create, something like "ignore on iPad" folder.

  • Stop Safari from opening last browsing session?

    Using Safari 5.1 (7534.58.3). I do a radio show twice per week.  While on the show, I open like 30 windows with articles or information I want to discuss on the show.
    When I'm done, I close the browser.
    Later, when I reopen it, the 15 or so pages i didn't get to come back.  Safari has remembered my browsing history and reopened all previous pages from my last broswer session.
    I don't like that and want to turn it off.
    Can I?
    IF so, how?
    If not, why not? 
    Thanks
    Cliff

    See
    http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/26/dear-aunt-tuaw-help-me-fine-tune-session-window-r estores/
    Or you can also hold down "Shift" while clicking Safari to skip the loading of your last session when it is launched. This must be done each time though.

  • My kids share use my apple id for their ipods.  Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over).  Can we share but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc?

    My kids use my apple id for their ipods.  Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over).  Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc?  I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself.  Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad?   Thanks!

    So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history.  You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs.  You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37  Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours.  You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.

  • Links work in browser preview but not on server?

    Hi,
    My GL CS application is doing strange things to me HTML code with the result that my links are not working once uploaded to my server. The links on the pages are working in the browser preview but once uploaded to the server the links are dead. I have used the FTP upload from GoLive ( which has worked just fine in the past 10 years) but I notice that the page code is compiled into one single line once published. So I used a Filezilla to upload to the server with the result that the HTML structure is correct and identical to the one stored in Golive, but the links are still not working.
    Does anyone have an idea what aspect I am overlooking. Do I have to update/upload the script? I am thankful for any suggestions to resolve this issue.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your tip in regards to solving the problem with my links. It¹s
    still not working 100% but already a bit better. I guess I have to redesign
    my site using a more contemporary software.
    Thanks,
    Arun

  • I want to send messages using my iPad Air  but not as iMessages

    I Don't want to use iMessages but do want to be able to send messages (they can stay green) because I sometimes want to do the message but not to another apple user. I am unable to send any messages using the text bubble icon, or receive them to look back at them, except on my phone. Do I need to sync those somehow or changes settings. I have disabled "iMessage" in my settings! I could do this for a while but have had several changes since then trying to get my iPad to be what I need it for.

  • I want to diable Firefox sync between desktop & laptop, but not loose any bookmarks or login details

    Have used FF successfully for several years on desktop (XP Pro). Purchased a mini laptop (Win 7 Home/Office) for traveling. Installation of FF Sync worked great and saved a lot of time entering bookmarks, user names, and some passwords. desktop was upgraded to FF5; mini was not. On recent trip discovered bookmarks that worked login access page (these are financial sites so usr & Pw are not stored) yielded "unknown error for FF sync" and randomly "server not available".
    When I returned mini was upgraded to FF5. I have the file for desktop sync code & mini device code, but could not get the connect to work. I then found that bookmarks and user names started disappearing.
    I don't need this problem. I want to disable and remove the "server storage" of sync info but not delete the info from the individual computers. Pushing the Sync button should do nothing. How do I accomplish this?

    (1) Bookmarks
    All the apps I see in the "Play" app store for importing bookmarks have pretty bad reviews. What do you think about hosting your bookmarks online and accessing them by loading that page? It is an extra step but might be a useful workaround in the short run. Of course, finding a site that works well also could be a challenge...
    (2) Contacts
    When you say Firefox contacts, do you mean the ones in a particular webmail site? Or Thunderbird?
