In v.4.0 my app tabs are erased each time I log off.

I recently installed Firefox v.4.0 on my Mac v.10.5.8. Each time I set up app tabs they are erased when I log back in. They are apparently cancelled when I log out of Firefox and shut down the computer.

Hi,
Please try this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Privacy''', click '''Exceptions...''' and type in '''chase.com''' and '''Allow'''. Additionally in the same tab you may also have to make sure that if '''Clear history when Firefox closes''' is enabled, click '''Settings...''' and uncheck '''Site Preferences'''.

How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

Hello,
i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
Option Explicit
Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
WScript.Sleep (20000)
objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
Set objNetwork = Nothing
Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
environment?

Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
Or done manually:
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

Why do the maps app bookmarks are erased every time I switch to another app?

I am encountering several problems with the new maps application which are not related to the mapping data itself.
My problems are:
Every bookmark I keep dissapears after a while (mostly after I switch to another app, but sometimes it takes a little more switching before the bookmark is gone).
I cannot access bookmarks when I try to set a route. There is no option to choose a starting/end point from a contact address or bookmark.
Am I doing something wrong? I could not find any reference in other forums describing this problem and would appreciate any help.
P.S.
The first problem I describe was present also for the old maps application on iPhone 4S and iPhone 3.

Thanks for explaining how app's loss of state can happen. However, I'm sure that the behavior of the four apps I mentioned is much worse than just a few months ago. Something must have changed, and iOS 7 is the main difference. The Kindle app behaves as it used to, but the others do not. Maybe I should note the problem in reviews of the apps themselves in the App Store -- and down rate the apps.

After I close Firefox and reopen, my app tabs are not found. Is this correct?

Firefox doesn't save my app tabs. Is this normal or is there a setting that I am missing.

The loss of my app tabs still happens even though I have my settings set up under Options > Privacy to "Firefox will... Remember history." I have not selected the option for Firefox to clear my history. I have not selected private browsing mode.
The problem is this: when I close my app tab(s), or when I use my app tab(s) to browse to another page, my app tab actually does disappear or change, and it does not come back when I subsequently close and reopen Firefox.
This is not the behavior I was expecting for a "permanent" app tab that is "pinned" somewhere. I was told on the features page: "Take sites you always keep open—like Web mail—off your tab bar and give them a permanent home in your browser." To me, permanent means permanent until I actually delete it, like a bookmark on my toolbar. If something is pinned, it should stay pinned down.
I guess I have to use the bookmark toolbar to get the behavior I want. These app tabs are just temporary skinny tabs.

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.

The App Tabs are a great function but mine vanish each time I close Firefox. Why? Really just makes them act just like a regular tab then. Mac OS w/ Firefox 5.0.1

The App Tabs are a great function but mine vanish each time I close Firefox. Why? Really just makes them act just like a regular tab then.

Make sure that you use Firefox > Quit Firefox to close the window with the App Tabs and the Firefox application.<br />
If you only close the window and not Firefox then you need to use History > Recently Closed Windows.

The tab: how to make web links open in Firefox cannot be deleted only closed each time I log into my browser....

The above tab cannot be deleted, it comes back each time I log in.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

One of the users on my Mac book pro, running Mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on

One of the users on my Mac book pro running mountain lion finds that no changes made in last session are there next time they log on.
For instance, the Macintosh HD icon, is always moved so that it is almost off the screen to top left hand side of the desktop.
None of my changes to the sidebar in the finder are there.
My changes to the dock have reverted.
Despite unticking the box when logging out, even though i have quit all applications, iphoto and safari are always re-opened.
iphoto always says the library needs to be upgraded... even though i did that the last time.
I have tried deleting ALL the files in the "Saved application state" folder in the library folder, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
This is on a second admin user account.
The main user account seems to be fine.
This account used to be in the filevault on Lion, but is not now in Mountain Lion.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

The same tragic thing happened to me, not even a full two days after I bought it. I immediately powered it off, wiped it as best I could, and put it in front of a fan. I tried valiantly to get the back off, but couldn't remove all the screws. I was basically inconsolable until I realized that no matter what, my credit card insurance would cover it, since it had been less than 90 days. Fast forward 48 hours, and it seemed to run just fine. Some of the keys and the track pad were sticky, and I figured since it was covered, I might as well get it fixed. My only concern at this point was had I voided the Apple Care. I brought it in, told them what happened, said what I needed to satisfy the credit card, and they said, "We'll just swap it out for you, no problem." I was thrilled, and the Genius said they appreciated my honesty, and it was easier for all parties to just do it this way. And my Apple Care was transferred to the new machine. This was my first Mac and, needless to say, I am now an Apple devotee.

I am using Apple Iphone 4s from last 2 months. i purchased some apps from store but each time apple charge me $1 extra above the original price of software.

App tabs will not save. when close then open ff, the app tabs are gone. how do I save them?

Every time i set up some app tabs, they disappear when I close ff. So upon reopen, have to set them up again, just to disappear again when i close ff. I thought once setup, they stay until deleted. Am I wrong on this? If they are supposed to show up after closing, it is not working on my pc. Running windows xp service pack 3.

The add-on "app-tab initializer" 0.2 fixed it for me. You define your preferred app tabs and it opens them each time firefox is launched.

Sometimes when i start up Firefox, all my app tabs are missing and i can not get them back unless i physically go do them all again. all my settings are correct as per the trouble shooting pages, but it keeps happening randomly every 1-2 weeks.

When firefox starts, normally, not after a crash or restore, all the tabs i have pinned as app tabs disappear. I have to go do them all again, and this has happened at least 5-6 times now.

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data [1] in the file sessionstore.js [2] in the Firefox profile folder [3].
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

* [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
* [2] http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* [3] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
It is also possible to use the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting, that is usually a more reliable way to restore session data.
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

App tabs are not working. I right click, but no app tab option appears.

I right clicked on a tab to create an app tab, but there was no option for an app tab. Just the name of the program on the tab.

The option you should see is "pin tab" and "unpin tab". Possibly an extension is messing it up. Try running in Safe Mode for a short test session.

App tabs are not saving nor highlighting when I get updates

When I restart Firefox, my app tabs sometimes saves, and sometimes they do not. Also I open a new window in a current session, my app tabs do not save between windows. I would expect them to be on every window I opened; otherwise, they'd really be no different from normal tabs.
Also, Firefox says that when an app tab updates, it will highlight. However, my hotmail app tab and my facebook app tab will not highlight no matter how many emails or facebook notifications I receive.
Edit:
Is there a way to have the app tab save the page you pinned. For example, have it save my facebook wall and have it open my facebook wall when I restart firefox instead of having it load a friend's profile page?

The app tabs feature is still in a relatively early stage of development. The option to remember app tabs independently of sessions has not yet been implemented, but it will be part of the release version of Firefox 4.

Why is 'bookmark all tabs' disabled when multiple pinned app tabs are open?

I have 6 or so tabs open as 'App tabs', and no normal tabs.
I was expecting to be able to 'bookmark all tabs' so I can open my app tab configuration next time I start Firefox.
But the 'Bookmark all tabs' menu item is disabled.

It would still be nice to bookmark all open App Tabs. I use one window for App Tabs and others for random browsing. If for some reason I accidentally close the App Tabs window before I close the others, I have to manually re-establish the App Tabs window because it doesn't restore them.

How do I permanetly save all my tabs so that each time I open firefox, I don't have to reo all my tabs?

I have 4 tabs that I always use and I would like to know how I save them so that every time I open mozilla all 4 of those tabs are already there so that I don't have to manually create each new tab every time

Firefox can store multiple home pages, set the 4 tabs as home pages, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Then, in the Options Window, on the general panel, change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

In v.4.0 my app tabs are erased each time I log off.
