I want to have tabs open as app tabs on startup

I have a couple of tabs that I always use, so I pin them as app tabs. The problem is that I want to save them as my home page, but as app tabs, not regular tabs. If I open the tabs I want for my home page and press "use current pages" as home page, they open as regular tabs. Is there any way to manually specify which tabs should be app tabs and which should be regular tabs in preferences?

Yeah, I noticed that the tabs are restored as app tabs, but doesn't that mean that there should be a way to have them as your home page as well? Showing your windows and tabs from last time isn't really the same thing. Should I file a feature request or something?

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 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
'''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.

When I set up an App Tab the original tab and the App Tab are both there when Firefox opens next time

When I set up an App Tab the original tab and the App Tab are both there when Firefox opens next time. I have tried saving the current tabs, etc but that doesn't help.

I had this problem after I installed an update for Java. Firefox also stopped remembering my open tabs from last time. I disabled all of the Java plug-ins, restarted, and it's worked great ever since. Haven't missed Java yet either.

Can I set my home pages to open as App Tabs?

I always have a set of my favorite, every day sites as App Tabs, which are also my home pages. I usually let Firefox just restore my previous session, but sometimes I just need a clean restart - just my App Tabs/home pages. But clicking Home opens these tabs as regular tabs. Can I set them to open as App Tabs instead?

No, you can't do that easily. If you click the Home page button then you always get normal tabs.

App Tabs open as full tabs when Firefox 8 restarts?

I've a few pinned App Tabs... and they all open as normal tabs when I restart Firefox?
So, now whenever I start Firefox, I'll have 4 small App Tabs on the left and 4 repeat app tabs open as normal tabs, a total of 9 tabs (including my home page)!?
Please help.

I've just solved this problem....
The problem started when I set my home page... with all the App Tabs in place...
When I clicked "Use Current Pages" (didn't notice the 's' on Pages), it actually set all (including the App Tabs) tabs as my home pages....
So, when Firefox restarts, it opens all the tabs as home page!
SOLVED.

I can't type in the web address in the address bar. I have to open a new tab to do it.

I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I reinstalled firefox, added the speeddial that I liked so much, and then tried to use firefox. I can't type the web address into the address bar when I start firefox. I always have to open a new tab before it'll let me do it. Also, I can't highlight and copy what's typed there - AND I can't "paste and go" anymore. Is that open gone?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I am trying to set up app tabs, but when I am using one, if I go to a new site from there, the app tab changes to the new site instead of opening in a new tab, then the app tab changes to the new site. Can you help? Thanks

I am trying to set up app tabs, but when I am using one, if I go to a new site from there, the app tab changes to the new site instead of opening in a new tab, then the app tab changes to the new site. i.e. The app tabs don't stay constant. This occurs while still in Firefox, and does not relate to when I close it. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks

If you backed up the iPhone to either iTunes or the iCloud, restore the backup. If not, the data is gone.

Nothing. The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life. If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

App Tabs. My app tabs have dissapeared with the latest update. 4.0Beta5. The option to make a tab an app tab and my previous app tabs have dissapeared.

see above. When I rebooted Firefox my App Tabs . My app tabs have disappeared with the latest update. 4.0Beta5. The option to make a tab an app tab and my previous app tabs have disappeared.

App Tabs are stored in sessionstore.js as part of the session data, so make sure that session restore is enabled and working.
This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

Opening music tab instead of apps tab on launch

iTunes opens the "apps" tab on launch. Since I rarely use that tab, is there some way to make it open the music tab by default instead? I seem to be unable to find any solution on Google or in the preferences window.
Thanks!

Forgot to add, we are using Robohelp 5.

Undo close tab opens in new tab group

Undo close tab opens in new tab group instead of the group it originally was closed from

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Upgraded Firefox and do not see the new style menu nor can I pin a tab as an app tab. I am using Windows XP Sp3. Is this expected because those are Win 7 features?

Ever since I upgraded to FireFox 4 which was supposed to have the new grouped menus I do not see them on my Win XP machine. They show up fine on a Win 7 laptop but my Win XP still shows the standard Menu bar. I also can not pin a tab as an App tab on the XP while I can on the Win 7. Is that to be expected?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar). 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again. This is not working, windows XP system. Bug or fix?

Just installed v5 of Firefox over v4.1 to XP system, 2Gb memory. Reinstalled 2Java updates, Silverlight and adobe reader as recommended in post firefox installation window. Rebooted and tried to make the new AppTabs work to no avail.
I"m not sure what else you need. The new AppTabs are not working. When Firefox is closed, AppTabs do not reappear when it is reopened later. They were installed by right-click on open tab as instructed on your upgrade website. Tabs were for yMail, gMail, and iGoogle. I have not tried to pin any other apps or sites. Is there anything I can do to make this work, or is this a bug? Thanks for the assist. mikeS

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
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 to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
