In FF7- Is there way to save tabs before I close FF window?

I have several FF windows running, each with a dozen or so related tabs open. I want to save the web addresses of the open tabs in each window so that I can reopen each window and its tabs at a future time (I am doing research; each window is on a topic, and all open tabs in that window are related to that topic. Having multiple FF windows open with lots of tabs in each is slowing my system, but I need to get back to them at a later time.)

See https://support.mozilla.com/questions/889049
I would not try to save a session forever, you will lose it sooner or later, not something I would ever count on.
Bookmarking your references, or saving titles and links would be a lot better though. You can bookmark all your tabs into a new folder. See

Firefox 5 no longer has a way to save tabs when a Firefox window is closed (different than quitting the Firefox Application)

CLARIFICATION: This appears to be a Mac only issue.
In Firefox 4, closing a firefox window (perhaps only the last firefox window - I only ever use one window) would ask you if you wanted to save your tabs as long as you edited your about:config so that browser.showQuitWarning was set to true, but after upgrading to Firefox 5, this no longer works.
I've managed to set up Firefox 5 so that if i quit the application my tabs are saved without asking and they are restored upon re-launching the Application, but at least in OSX Snow Leopard, closing the only open window while leaving the Application running causes Firefox to forget your tabs and I've been unable to find a way to restore or proactively save these tabs.
I've started to change my workflow to always quit Firefox 5, but every now and then I forget and close the window instead, and *poof*, there go my tabs.
Is there any workaround to this problem?

'''Solution:'''
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options.
# Select the General panel.
# In Startup, "When Firefox starts:" don´t select "Show my windows and tabs from last time".
# Click "OK" to close the Options window.
To see “Save and Quit” button to save all the URL’s and open tabs before closing Firefox:
* Type "about:config" in Firefox address bar and choose “I will be careful, I promise”.
* Type "quitwarning" in the Filter box and hit the Return key.
* If you should see an entry named "browser.showQuitWarning" with a value “False”, double click the “Value” field and change it to “True”. If the entry don´t exist, create it.

In the new Firefox, I have no back button, no "most frequently visited" and there is no longer an option to save tabs when I close.

Many features have disappeared. There is no back button to go to the previous page. There is no "most frequently visited" icon on the toolbar. I am not asked if I want to save all my tabs when I close firefox. There is no recently bookmarked tab on the toolbar. Everything takes longer to get to. The tabs don't automatically stay open.

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 at any time. 
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"
Do you still have the Bookmarks Toolbar visible?
* [[Restore the default Smart Bookmarks Folders]]
Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that you have the Bookmarks Toolbar and the Navigation Toolbar visible: "View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How can I save tabs with two open Firefox windows?

I have two windows of Firefox open; one for tabs of websites I visit regularly and another with tabs for chat rooms. It is a pain having to open these chats on a regular basis which is why I'm wondering if there's a solution to this. Is it possible to save tabs for both windows when closing Firefox?

Use "Firefox > Exit" or "File > Exit" to close all open windows at once. That is always better then using the close X and is the only way to restore more than one window on a next start via session restore.

Why can't I save Tab Groups from one session to the next? When I restart, tab groups are cleared.

Why can't I save Tab Groups from one session to the next? Is there a way to save Tab Groups from the last session to the next time I start up?
Mark Kipperman

Yeah, if this is the way it's supposed to work its a useless and, dare I say, stupid "feature". Wouldn't the whole point of this be to have quick access to groups of pages. If I have to select them each time to create the group what is it doing for me?

Cannot Save Tabs

Killing the save tabs option at close was stupid. I, like many people, do not use the default homepage, and so do not get the restore previous session option that people who use the default homepage get. In order not to lose several sites when I close the browser, then have to locate and open them individually the next time, I am now apparently being forced to use the default homepage. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to reset the homepage, and only the homepage, to default. If someone had been using his head for something other than a hat rack, when he decided to kill the save tabs option that used to appear at browser close he would have put a restore previous session button someplace where it would appear whenever Firefox was opened, no matter what someone was using as a homepage. Maybe he was so dumb that he actually thinks that everyone in the world used Firefox's default homepage. Or maybe he never even thought about the effect killing the save tabs option would have on probably hundreds of thousands of users. I used to think that kind of thinking was, for the most part, only endemic at Microsoft. Maybe I was wrong, though.

For if you go back to Firefox 4:
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. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
You can set the warn prefs on the about:config page to true via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.
* browser.showQuitWarning, see http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog (Fx 4)
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

I am no longer able to use a keyboard shortcut to close a window when there is only one window open.

I can use Command+W when there are multiple tabs open to close one window at a time, but not when there is only one window remaining. It's driving me crazy because I have to click on the red dot. It won't close with File > Close either. Nothing changed (that I know of) from last week to this that would cause this. It works fine in safe mode but I can't figure out what's conflicting. Also, I've tried reinstalling Firefox but that did nothing. Help?

Problem solved! It's the Evernote add-on. They updated something on November 6. I've disabled it until that quirk is fixed. Thanks.

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Is there any way to save a browsing session i.e. save a window of tabs?

If i am browsing a subject and have several related tabs open is there a way to save these tabs in a group so i can open them all together again? I dont necessarily want to open all these tabs on start up but maybe in the future sometime when i am browsing this topic again.

OK thanks but that just bookmarks the pages - i want to be able to open them all up again at some time in the future when i am working on a certain subject.
And i dont want them to open up every time i start firfox.
Found this comment on review of tab saver add on page :
''For people that do a lot of inter-related research with many tabs on many firefox windows open is to be able to save a whole windows worth of tab addresses to a document to be opened later. This is needed because at some point your resources become over taxed and at best slow operation, at worst a chrash. this would allow for one page to be saved and re-opend at a time rather than closing down and saving them all, and opening with the same resource headache.
you could save windows for a specific search theme seperate from other windows-search themes until resource problem is removed below resource problem threshold. ''
So i guess for now its not possible but it seems like such an obvious feature to include......

Would there happen to be a way so save images from not one, but multiple tabs in firefox instead of clicking through every single tab? Thanks.

Usually when I'm browsing through random photos, either for work or for leisure, I always middle click them to open a new tab. So again, is there a way to save images from multiple tabs without cycling through each tab, right-clicking, deleting that tab then going to the next? Help is much appreciated.

An alternative to middle clicking all the image links is just to use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201/ DownThemAll] extension with its [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12577/ anti-container] companion to choose the images you want to download from the original page of random photos.

In the new Firefox 4, what happned to the save tabs and quit feature, is there a way i can still use this function?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/815571]''
I just downloaded Firefox 4 and i had a problem about my Norton spy-ware toolbar not being compatible, but anyway the most important thing that makes me pick Firefox over any other web browser is that i am able to save tabs and then exit. I think this was the greatest things because i could leave turn my laptop off and save power and when i got back i cold resume what i as doing. My question is just will you ever have this save tabs and exit function again or at least a way people would turn the function on by will.

Is there a way to save a restored session (without opening it) to bookmarks?

I kinda get carried way with opening tabs, like I'll have 50-200 open at any time. And you can imagine what it's like when Firefox crashes and you attempt to restore a crashed session - all the tabs reopen at the same time.
Is there any way to save a crashed session's tabs/windows to bookmarks directly from the restore session list? This would be so useful... sometimes I just want to go to a couple places and then close Firefox, worrying about the crashed session later, and without having to open every single tab in it at once.

It would be very practical if we could choose to save the crashed session as bookmarks into a date-stamped bookmark folder instead of restoring, and even an option to "copy to clipboard" just like "CopyAllurls" does (firefox add-on) - with title and urls, grouped by domain, for example. When a 200+ tabs session crashes, what we need is mostly to not loose track of what we worked with, but not strictly loading them all in one go at startup. Furthermore, whenever we really do load them all, then it would be smarter if Firefox loaded just a certain (configurable figure?) number of tabs, then waits for them to load, and fill in with the next tabs as the currently loading tabs finish. It should not attempt to load all 200+ simultaneously, as that creates other problems. Will look for any existing feature requests about this and chime in there. If anyone has a direct link to relevant feature requests, please post here. Thanks.

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

How do I save tabs to a folder is there a shortcut?

Hi,
Suppose you have 4 web pages open, each in a separate tab in Safari.
You have all these tabs open and you would like to put all of them in a folder.
Is there a shortcut or technique - besides dragging each url individually into the bookmark manager?
It would be wonderful if there was a "Save Open Tabs..", which would display a dialog that allows you to create a new folder, or pick a folder where you would like these placed. Of course, it would be nice if it rememebered where you last saved your 'tabbed webpages' too, so you didnt' have to keep on looking for the same old folder?
Apologies in advance, if this is in the help, i took a look through the help and did not see a way to do this.
thanks for your help in advance,
sincerely,
J__

Saft provides that feature, which almost necessarily means that Safari doesn't, I'm afraid.

I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf?

I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf? I've inputted changes and have digitally signed, but none of my edits seem to save?

By what kind of security I meant what is allowed and what is not allowed under the security tab that I mentioned in my last post?
You can look at that and see if it restricts what you are trying to do. If it does then yes, you need a version of Acrobat (and the password of course) to change it.
