I was able to set Firefox 3.5 to reopen all the tabs which were closed when exited Firefox. I cannot do it with Firefox 3.6.
I use Firefox 3.6.2 on a 2009 MAC Pro using OSX 10.6.5.
Before upgrading to Firefox 3.6 I was able to configure Firefox 3.5 to reopen all the tabs which had been closed during exiting Firefox prior to reopening it.
I am unable to configure Firefox 3.6 to do the same.
Now, when I open Firefox it always opens with one tab with my homepage. It would be much more convenient for me to have all the tabs which had been opened to reopen. When I change a plug-in in order to the change to take effect I have to exit and reopen Firefox, thus losing all the open tabs.
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

This hasn't always happened. It just started a few days ago and I don't know what triggered it.
Did you see this article linked from the main Firefox Help page?

For reasons that are unclear to me I sometimes close Firefox and later re-open it. In some cases ALL the tabs and tab groups are gone. Today it opened in MSN.com and ALL tabs were gone. I put a lot of pages on these and have NO WAY to find them all again. If this continues and you cannot give me a way to recall them I simply will have to go to another browser. It always happens when I need them most and don't have time to even track down one. It completely upsets my day, week, month whatever!!!.
Is there a way to get them back? Someone asked a similar question and was never given a useful answer.I've begun having this problem as well. Reviewing the above, I seen no errors that I' making. A few weeks ago, without being aware of an update to Firefox, it began behaving differently than it has for years. I've always had it set to open to an empty tab, now it often opens to the 'Firefox Home Page' (which I've never used)... this despite resetting my opening page to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" (upon troubleshooting the 'home page issue' I found that the opening page had reset to FF Home somehow. I store a lot of pages in tab groups and having them disappear is a major bummer since they're news articles I'm waiting to copy.
Also... I run CCleaner weekly and I know that will erase the group tabs I've stored so before running it I have to store those URL's another way. Does anyone know what I can uncheck in CCleaner to keep those tabs?
Thanks. -
I have gone to 'options' many times to set it to always open with my home page, but it continues to open with the tabs I had open when I closed Firefox.I there a problem with Firefox 30.0?
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

After telling my browser to 'not ask this question again' when it asked my if I wanted to save all the tabs before closing firefox, I now just want firefox to open to my homepage when I open it. Can you tell me how to change the settings to undo my previous command?
Look here:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" -
This is not my first time using Firefox...It has always worked on previous versions. I have just downloaded 4.0. Is this a known bug with Firefox 4.0 ??
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data. -
On the occasion I search Google.com for images/wallpapers etc while opening multiple tabs, keeping the original page. Seldom the website crashes, causing all my tabs to close, while Firefox restores the websites opened. When this happens, I do appreciate Firefox restoring my lost tabs. However, when I initiate closing the browser, I do NOT wish for Firefox to restore the closed browser. I purposely closed the browser, either the website freezes, or there's spam occurring on that website, or an attempt to download a virus through the 3rd party's website, therefore I choose to shut down the browser in order to start new. When unwanted events like this occurs, I do NOT want Firefox to remember my last browsing history and restore such tabs. It's rather a nuisance and unwanted on Firefox's part. I do not know how to resolve this matter since I'm only a beginner with setting up Privacy settings etc, so please enlighten me.
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 />
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"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox. -
For example, sometimes I want to open all the links in a "Google Alerts" email in new tabs BEFORE I look at any of them. By default, I have to keep clicking back to the original email after I click each URL. I want to be able to open multiple links in new tabs without being automatically placed into each tab after every click. I know I can right click and say "open in new tab" but I want to just be able to click on the link.
Are that regular links or are they handled by JavaScript ?
There are three prefs, accessible via the about:config page, to control the focus if you click a link.
*browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links; also Via Options > Tabs)
*browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript)
*browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (bookmarks and searchbar)

my ipod was stolen and i finnaly was able to get into my account after they changed the password is there a way i can fid the locaition of my ipod even if it has died ?
No. The only way is if the FindMyiPod feature was already set up and wifi is on. However, that can be defeted by turning the iPod off or restoring it. If they have access to the iPod then can just turn the feature off.
If the iPod off/battery drained how would you expect there t be a way of finding it?

Hi, I don't know who to turn to: the person who handles all the compter stuff is out of town, This A.M.I started up Firefox and there was a message re an update, I thoght I new just to click on install and wait to re start Firefox. But what I can remember is that another window opened and asked me to choose 'something' (an icon or banner or?), I thought I must click something (I guess I should read all clearly). Firefox did update to 3.6.4, but it also inserted some sort of what might be called a banner? But it only partly covers the right one- half of my 3 toolbars at the top of the Firefox window. It can't be used for anything as it is just a mess of colors and unknowns, except what looks like a 'top' and what I recognize as a Firefox icon (but only partly visible)!! Now, what it does do is partly hide that whole portion of the toolbars and they are hard to read and in turn make this 'thing' impossible to figure out, if I would care to? I can't find anyway to remove it or use it?? But since the Firefox icon is on it, I guess you should know what it is and how to trash it. I am sorry for this occurrence caused my my carelessness, but I'm not much of a computer person ----HELP! Thank you for any help. Judi
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today, Thrsday June 24, 2010The only thing I can imagine: it's a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/ Persona].
Tools->Add-ons->Themes
Here should be the persona (lightweight theme)
and a button "Remove"
Click it (button Remove), and it (Persona, this mix of colors) should go away instantly.

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself. -

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
Please advise.
I have tried all the steps in the apple support.There is nothing to backup.
If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again. -
I want to have different headers in Pages. I want to be able to set them and not have them be the same. For example I want ii then iii and so on...How do I do that?
Hi BelleDesign,
"Headers" is short for "Continuing Headers."
Use a Header when you want recurring information on a series of pages in your document.
If ii, iii, etc. are page numbers, you can place them in Headers using Insert > Page Number, then formatting the page number to lower case Roman numerals.
For more on Headers and Footers, see Chapter 3, Working with document parts in the Pages '09 User Guide, available for download via the Help menu in Pages. Discussion of Headers and Footers starts on Page 54.
Regards,

Question
I have just downloaded Firefox 4 and my autofill on the google toolbar is not working for any webpages it previously worked with. Is there a way to fix this? ThanksCrap. That's what I was afraid of...Well, since I'm away from home and not near my pc, it sounds like I'm out of luck. The problem is that I need my phone to be at least functional for making and receiving calls. There's an apple store nearby. Perhaps I can go there and have them restore it and at least I'll be able to make and receive calls until I get home and restore from my backup. Does that sound feasible, or am I missing something?
P.s. I tried to click "correct answer" and accidentally hit "helpful". Sorry about that...
