Is it possible to NOT have 'Restore Previous Session' option come up automatically every time you start Firefox?

A large envelope pops up mid-screen every time I start Firefox, asking if I want to restore previous session. I don't want all users after me to have this option, but don't want to keep an empty history either. Can I deselect this option somewhere? Looked around, but found nothing.

Unfortunately changing the options found under "Completely disable session restore" does not make any difference to this problem.

  • Suddenly I have to log in to my home page every time I start firefox.

    when I started firefox my facebook home page used to log in automaticaly, but now I have to log in to facebook. Why was it changed?

    It sounds as though Firefox is not successfully saving your Facebook cookie between sessions. It's also possible that some security software on your computer is zapping your cookie.

  • Is it possible to lock the numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

    Is it possible to lock the onscreen numeric keyboard on the iPad mini so that I do not have to go back to the regular keyboard every time I press the space button?

    Thanks so very much!! You ROCK! I took your second suggestion and went into the iPad settings menu and then into the app. From there I was able to mute the sound effects I wanted. Really appreciate your help.

    Hello,
    You could read this-

  • No restore previous session option available and can't find sessionstore.js in latest firefox version.

    After a crash, I turned on my firefox to find the restore previous session option greyed out. So I go to my profile folder to find no sessionstore.js file, I assumed this is because the lastest firefox made changes to where the session store is stored now. Where is the session stored now and is there anyway I can restore my previous session? I really need it.

    Firefox still uses the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder.
    Only the sessionstore.bak file in no longer used and has been replaced by backups and previous versions in the sessionstore-backups folder.
    You can check <b>browser.sessionstore.*</b> prefs including browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset browser.sessionstore prefs that are user set (bold) via the right-click context menu to the default value to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

  • Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    This is not just annoying, it is wrong, because at the end of the trial it will stop completely. You must resolve it before then.
    So, did you do anything to license the trial version? It needs to be told that you have purchased, or it will stop working at the end of the trial.

  • Every time I start Firefox, the Sync preferences say I have to set it up on my desktop and my Macbook.

    I have set up Sync at least five times on my two devices (iMac and Macbook Air). Each time I launch Firefox, I'm prompted (in Preferences) to set up Sync again, which I do using the same Sync Key, username or password. No matter what I do, these Sync preferences are not saved, and I'm not able to keep the two devices synced. Is there something I'm missing?

  • Can I disable the restore previous session that appears every time I start Firefox?

    Consider using a separate password protected Operating System account, if possible, that may help.
    You may use [[Private Browsing]] to prevent some of these problems occurring.

  • For some reason every time I start Firefox I get a window to print the current page. Am I the only one this happens to? Is there any way to get rid of it? It just started with the previous update.

    When I start Firefox, the standard print window comes up as if I had clicked on print under the file menu. I close the window without problems, and it doesn't show up again until the next time I start Firefox. When I click on print under the file menu, I get the print window without any problems.

  • "restore previous session" always comes up regardless of having exited properly

    I run Windows XP & your latest edition of Mozilla Firefox.
    When the "restore session" is selected being the only option presented to me, I am effectively stuck within a loop as I find on closing the previous I still get the same message on re-opening Firefox. The only way I can progress has been to minimise the Firefox page and then re-open Firefox within another window.
    Should I try a re install?

    If the history is intact like you wrote in your first then Private Browsing mode is not very likely.
    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Do I really have to sign back in to Lightroom mobile every time I start?

    Every time I open Lightroom I need to sign back in so Lightroom Mobile will synchronise. I haven't found any settings that will allow a persistent login, am I missing something?

    Try this:
    1. Start Lightroom
    2. Sign in to Lightroom Mobile.
    3. Sign out of Lightroom Mobile.
    4. Sign back into Lightroom Mobile.
    5. Quit Lightroom and restart. 
    We have heard about a few cases where Lightroom gets stuck trying to save the Adobe ID.  This process seems to get it unstuck.  Let me know if it works for you.
    Thanks,

  • Bookmarks have to be restored every time I start firefox... how do i fix it?

    I have already made sure places.sqlite is not "read-only." Can someone help please? Very frustrated.

    Did you try to remove all places files?
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I want to keep my iteunes apple password stored on my apple tv device, so i do not have to enter it in front of people, every time I want to rent or purchse, or even watch a movie on my apple tv

    I would like to keep my apple itunes store password stored on my apple tv device, so I do not need to re-enter it everytime I want to watch or rent a movie.  it is uncomfortable to have to enter it in front of NON family members

    I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
    Let's start with Firefox's settings:
    (1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
    There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
    There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
    That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
    Related articles:
    * [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
    * [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
    (2) Site-specific permissions
    If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
    After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
    (3) Form autocomplete suggestions
    Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
    To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
    To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
    To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

  • After closing Firefox with the red "x" in the upper right corner, every time I start firefox again it launches the last page(s) I was (yes I have it set to go to homepage in my settings, this does not happen if I close through the menu).

    I have a Win 7 PC using FF 4.0.1.

    I have noticed something similar with my Macs. If I close with the red X, I get a popup message asking if I want to close the tabs or cancel. If I close with Firefox > Quit or Cmd-Q, I get a message asking if I want to Save and Quit, Quit, or Cancel. The thing is, using the red X, is just supposed to close the interface, not the underlying process.
