Is it possible to restore lost windows? Firefox crashed, and only 5 of my open windows reopened, even though all settings are such that all should be restored.

Unfortunately when I restarted Firefox after its most recent crash, most of my open windows and tabs were not restored as they are set to do and as they usually do after a crash. Not that I enjoy Firefox crashing, but usually everything reopens and life goes on. However, after a crash tonight, when I next opened Firefox about 80% of my open windows and tabs did not reopen.
After this (most recent) crash most of my windows and tabs were not restored:
bp-e7f145b9-04cf-4de8-a4a4-8e2952130816
This was the most recent prior crash where my windows and tabs were restored:
bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815
**I would love to have these windows and tabs reset, or at least be able to find a list of them to reopen them manually.**
I am running Firefox 23.0. My antivirus and antispyware were run overnight last night with no issues.
(This is on my desktop computer using Windows XP. I also have a laptop which runs Firefox 23.0 which uses Windows 7. Firefox on it crashes as well, but thankfully thus far the windows and tabs have been restored. I use it less than I do my desktop, however.)
Thank you very much!

Thank you -- I will do so. Still, I'm very eager to restore (or find a list of) my windows and tabs that were not restored after the last crash. Is it possible to do that from the last working restore?
The last two working restores were after the crash mentioned above, bp-c674bdd3-e905-44c0-9bc9-6b4982130815, and before that, bp-7f5b697e-c4c5-4cb8-9b15-9318c2130815.
FWIW, I just updated to 23.0.1. Thank you *very* much!

    I installed a security program called Identity Finder whick requires a master password for Firefox on my laptop, which I like. However, even though my settings are to "Show my windows and tabs from last time," I have to manually add each link in a new tab each time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

  • Firefox crashes and I can't open it. I have done everything you have listed

    Firefox crash reporter comes up every time I try to start it. It won't open in safe mode. I deleted firefox per your instructions including in the programs files. I restarted computer and downloaded firefox to my computer desktop. I reinstalled and now I can't get it to open at all. The firefox crash reporter just comes up. I like fire fox better than internet explorer but if someone can't help me I will have to use it.

    Hello, i dont know if you installed the windows update, but if you installed the Windows Update, is te cause of the Mozilla Firefox crash.
    I restored my system from before the upgrade and magic! It was the mistake, after you reinstall from 0 my Mozilla Firefox in Safe Mode only opens, and now opens normally.
    Srry for my english. I have Windows 7 64 bits and the update in 16-17/07/2013
    I Waiting for the solution, because windows update install the updates automatically.

  • Firefox crashed and will not restart. I have even removed the program and downloaded Firefox again and it will not restart. Please help!

    I normally use Firefox as my web browser. when I tried to use it, a message appeared that said it had crashed and would restart. I have tried numerous times to restart Firefox and it will not restart. I have even removed the program and downloaded Firefox and it still will not start. Do I have a virus or bug in my computer preventing Firefox from starting?

    I can access Firefox using the safe mode, which sucks, but I can not get into my profile. I can not access u6krt2kl my string is mlm303va.default

  • Neither Firefox nor Thunderbird update automatically even though the settings are correct; the udates just "hang"

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 10.7.5
    neither of the program Updates for Firefox or Thunderbird complete the process; I have set for automatic updates; the message shows and say it is/they are updating but it just "hangs"
    firewall is ON

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Firefox crashed and now won't open - it freezes and I have to keep force quitting it.

    I have uninstalled and re installed firefox on my macbook. I have restarted my computer. It started crashing when a friend asked me to video chat on facebook. I tried three times and firfox wouldn't comply so I went to safari. when I came back to firefox - firefox was not working at all. I get the spinny wheel as soon as I open it and it doesn't go to any webpage. I don't even get the this is embarassing window anymore. How do I get it to work again? I prefer firefox over safari.

    UPDATE:  From reading some other post I believe that my large video files in iphoto are lagging my imovie so I guess I should have never imported the thumbnails, but the question is now how can I delete them from imovie?  (so i can just import them manually when I work on a video)  I go into the iphoto folder and see a folder labeled "thumbnails" and in that are 3 folders labeled 2011 2012 2013 and one more item (not a folder, but a piece of paper icon) but its labeled imovie data.  I really dont want to delete anything  but was wondering if this has anything to do with it.

  • Firefox isn't saving my history, even though privacy settings are set to remember history.

    Firefox isn't saving my history. I'm not in private browsing mode and remember history is selected under the privacy settings. This only started after I updated to the latest version. All pre-update history is lost, too.

  • When I open Firefox it does not go to my home page even though my setting are set to go to home page when Firefox is opened

    I have repeatedly checked my settings for Firefox to go to my home page when opened. Instead it opens my last pages opened. I have the most current version of Firefox. This has been going on for about a week.

    WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

  • When firefox crashes and reopens it offers to restore pages hours/days old.

    When firefox crashes and is reopened, it usually brings up the pages that were open during the crash, but many times when firefox crashes, it will offer to restore pages that I did look at but that are hours/days old.
    e.g.
    I will be on youtube, facebook, my school website, and pandora. Firefox crashes. I reopen. Firefox offers to restore google search, my email, and wordpress, which I had looked at the night before.

    I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
    This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help!

    Any article that says you can't run a program in Windows 7 that ran perfectly well in Windows XP or Windows Vista is suspect in it self and should be tossed out of your open window quickly.
    Windows 7 is not any different from XP or Vista except that security is much better and the GUI is better but is all XP and Vista behind the hood.  I am running some DOS programs in Windows 7!!! Now this must be magic!!

    Firefox crashed and after restarting, tabs i had open were gone and weren't in the history either. It didn't give me the option of restoring, how do i get them back?

    Sorry , you probably can not get them back.
    You may have bookmarked them, or have them as part of the History previously stored and still searchable, but unfortunately otherwise you are unlikely to get them back. Firefox does to a certain extent back up bookmarks automatically but not the history.
    If you get problems with crashes see [[firefox crashes]]

  • Whenever I open new tabs Firefox crashes and the browser window closes automatically.what will I do?

    I am facing this problem since a month.I never faced this problem before.I always feel good to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser.I used to open multiple tabs in a same browser window.For example- in a tab I logged in to Facebook,at same time I might be downloading songs or something else or open another site in the other tab.It might be 2 or 3 tabs sometimes.But now a days,I am facing the problem whenever I open multiple tabs.Its unusual and so much annoying.The Firefox crashes and the browser window closes showing a messege to send an error report.Please Help me.
    N.B. - I am using the Windows service pack 2.
    RAM - 2 GB
    Hard disk MEmory - 250 GB.

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)
