Like Firefox, can Safari restore its tabs when (closed and) re-opened?
If Firefox contains open / active tabs and is closed, those tabs (and their history) can (via a setting) be restored when Firefox is re-opened.
Can Safari restore its tabs when it's re-opened as well?
In my Safari for Windows (5.0.5) I've got a "Reopen all Windows from previous session" command. (In my History Menu.)

Stop Firefox from starting a new tab when a new window opens?
This might be answered, but I cannot find a solution. I will give a scenario for my issue.
I am on the UPS website and click a button to print a shipping label. This opens a new FireFox window, BUT... the new window defaults to a generic tab that ALWAYS opens in circumstances like this. It does NOT open to the tab with my label. The print menu opens, but I cannot switch to the tab with my shipping label. No right click to print either. So I have to go to another browser. Absolutely annoying.
So how can I STOP Firefox from starting this generic tab when a FireFox window opens? BTW, the tab has a search bar at the top and several boxes that I can click on for Facebook, Instagram, etc. Thanks!Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Firfox 4 - can we not save TABS when closing?? I just lost everything!
I installed Firefox 4, had several TABs open before the upgrade. When Firefox 4 opened I had all the TABs. When I wanted to close Firefox there was no SAVE button, so I lost everything.
Did a system restore and now when I click the Firefox icon nothing happens...cannot open Firefox at all.
Thanks Mozilla....One of the changes in Firefox 4: '''''by default''''' Firefox 4 does not display the warning message when closing multiple tabs, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences. ''<u>Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all '''uncompensated volunteers''' here to help other users. The developes/employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.</u>''
#Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
#The preferences page/list will open
#Filter = '''''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''''
#If its value is set to false, double-click on it (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
#Repeat steps 4 and 5 for these following 3 preferences also:
#*'''''browser.warnOnQuit'''''
#*'''''browser.warnOnRestart'''''
#*'''''browser.showQuitWarning'''''

Video does not restart when closed and re-opened
I have a .f4v file (Adobe Premiere) embedded into a swf. The
video is launched into an iframe when the user clicks on the link
to "See Video". When I close the iframe in Firefox and then click
on the link again to launch the video, it starts from the
beginning. In IE7, IE6 and Safari the video continues from where it
left off. I would like for it to start from the beginning like in
Firefox. Any suggestions?
Thanks!Do you have a link to the video. Why are you using the iframe? I'm curious to see how this works. I have a html page with a swf with buttons that play movies on a small area on the screen it's easily controllable though I only programmed the pause button. I have the selection buttons run the small videos on roll over and a higher res larger version with swf skin with full controls - seek when you click the selection.

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
how can I do this?I'm not sure what causes this.
As the first step, I recommend backing up your existing sessionstore files.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Scroll down to the files whose names start with sessionstore. You should find at least sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If the .js extension does not appear on sessionstore, you should turn off the Windows feature that hides file extensions from you, so that you can work with file names as accurately as possible. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
Make backup copies of all the sessionstore files to somewhere like your Documents folder for possible later restoration.
Next, try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but Microsoft Update couldn't run from Firefox; when I closed Firefox I lost all my tabs and couldn't restore anything but the Microsoft page; how can I restore the tabs from an earlier session?
Hi Diovizor,
Make sure that you do not use [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
Also please make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: Use custome settings for history. Uncheck "Always use permanent Private Browsing mode"
Hope that helps! -
When closing and reopening Firefox, my tabs aren't restoring like they once did. I used to have all my tabs restore each time I opened Firefox. Now it starts with one fresh new tab and all my others are lost. I do a lot of research so this is important.
My history is only displaying one day even though I have never changed my settings even after I updated it last year.
Need to know how to restore these settings.
***OH! special note: I can't use the recently closed tabs or recently closed windows because its a grayed out option****Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner?
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] 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.

I can't restore more than three closed wndows.
I can't restore more than three closed windows. After I right click on the Firefox icon on the toolbar at the bottom of my screen and select close all windows, the next time that I restart Firefox, I can only restore three windows, instead of all of them. This happens whether it is set to automatically restore the previous session on startup or I do so manually. I have read that the browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo is set to three by default, but don't see anywhere to change that. This problem has only been since the most recent automatic update of Firefox. I would tell you what version, but I can't even find that. I think it may be 29. I have also read that if you close the windows by clicking on the Firefox icon in the upper left corner of the page and select exit that this problem does not occur, but that option doesn't exist in the current version. I am using Firefox browser on Windows 7 Professional operating system. If you need more information or I am missing something, please let me know. If this is a bug, then please let me know when a fix is expected or provide a link to instructions on how to return to the previous version of Firefox that I was happy with.
Hey, in order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
# Then you can change or add browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo and set the value. -
my ipad air is not turning on, when I plug it in it doesn't even show that is charging and I tried several chargers they all work fine, its just when off and pitch black help!!!
If the battery is very low, it can take 15 minutes or maybe even longer befor you will see any response at all on the screen. If you have let the iPad charge for what you think is a sufficient length of time and it still hasn't shown any signs of life, try a reset and see if that will force it to start up.
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo apperas on the screen and then let go of the buttons. If that still doesn't work, try charging the device again overnight. If it's still dean in the morning, try restoring the device with iTunes.

If that doesn't work, make an appointment at an Apple Store and seek their guidance. -
Lion: failure to honor un-setting of "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" ?
I have noticed an annoying "feature" of Lion, and I'm hoping that someone might have found a workaround.
If I uncheck Preferences->General->Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps, some of my apps still seem to ignore that setting after a restart.
Here's a scenario which illustrates the problem:
Uncheck the Preferences setting mentioned above.
Open up a few Finder windows.
Open up a few Terminal windows.
In the Terminal Preferences, disable everything related to Window Groups.
Do a Logout or a Restart. Uncheck Reopen windows when logging back in.
Relog in.
Open one Terminal window.
After step 6, all of the Finder windows which were previously open before Logout or Restart will also reopen.
After step 7, all of the Terminal windows which were previously open before Logout or Restart will reopen, in addition to the single Terminal window which is manually opened after login.
The only way I can prevent this from happening to Terminal is to add the following two lines right before the final </dict> tag in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/Info.plist:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
However, this has the undesirable side-effect of not showing anything about Terminal in the menu bar or the dock.
None of this used to happen in Snow Leopard, Leopard, or Tiger. Does anyone know how I can disable this unwanted window-opening-after-relogin behavior in Lion?
Thanks in advance.Try the Lion community, there are others with same and similar questions;

Thanks in advance.To urabus. Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this is does not work for me. Furthermore, even if it did work the way you said, it would not be a viable alternative for me.
When I hold down the Option key and select the Terminal menu, I see this: Quit and Keep Windows, not Quit and Discard Windows. If I let go of the Option key, this menu entry changes to simply Quit Terminal. Therefore, I don't even have the option to quit and discard my windows.
As I mentioned, however, even if I had the option you mention, it is not desirable for me. When I restart, I want the OS to properly close all my open windows in the same way that it did in Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Tiger. It is not desirable for me to have to manually close some or all of my apps in a special way before restart, simply to cause them to behave the way that un-checking Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is supposed to control.
Here is one reason (out of several), for why I don't want this auto-reopen-windows-on-restart "feature": some of my Terminal windows run ssh sessions to remote sites. It is a Bad Thing for these ssh sessions to be auto-restored after Restart, without my having to specificially initiate these sessions.
IMHO, Apple should offer an alternative to this undesirable behavior. For example, during the shutdown procedure which is part of a Restart, we are asked if we want to kill any open Terminal windows. The "Quit and Discard Windows" option could be offered at that point ... but it isn't.
Furthermore, as I mentioned above, this unwanted behavior also occurs in Finder.
Is there any option that I can set in my system or in the defaults for com.apple.Terminal and com.apple.Finder which would force an automatic "Quit and Discard Windows" on restart or re-login?
Updated to add second paragraph which explains how hitting the Option key when selecting the Terminal menu does not work. -
The "Resume"/"Restore Windows When Quitting and Re-opening Apps" feature issues
The "Resume"/"Restore Windows When Quitting and Re-opening Apps" features have issues with restoring windows of various applications (Safari, Preview etc.) to the corresponding Desktops on which they were before system reboot/shutdown or app restart. E.g. Preview windows appear on random Desktops after the system reboot and on the sane (N1) Desktop after Preview restart. How to fix this?
Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the feature in this new account, if it works the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide. If it's in your user only, it's probably a Login Item or pref file.
If it's systemwide, since this feature may not have been tested on multiple Desktops
