Lost tabs and settings

I usually save multiple tabs to be restored at the start of the next session. Today when I opened Firefox these were gone. My homepage has also been reset and my plugin settings have been restored to default. Is there some way I can undo these changes?
I updated Firefox a few days back but I wasn't aware of authorising any updates since my previous session. I am currently running version 3.6.20.

Try typing about:support into the address bar, press Enter. Then Click Reset Firefox. Does that fix your issue.

I have a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7, with linked profiles. When I upgraded to 4.0, my tabs and settings would show in Windows, but not Ubuntu. How do I fix this?

This worked when I first installed and booted in Ubuntu. When I booted in windows, my tabs which were open in Ubuntu opened in Wndows. But, when I booted back into Ubuntu, all of my tabs and pinned tabs were gone, as well as the firefox button. My bookmarks and firefox background remained, but none of my tab settings.

Norton is due to release a patch for both IE9 and Firefox 4 in May. See [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-compatibility-with-IE9-and-FF4/td-p/420020 Norton compatibility with IE9 and FF4]
To revert to 3.6.16, do the following.
* Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
* Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
* Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
* Finally run the installation file you downloaded.
Actually, Firefox 4 does have a means of identifying untrusted sites. See [[Site Identity Button]]

Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Accidentally restore old profile and have now lost emails and settings; where can I find them?

Whilst trying to save a profile, I accidentally restored an old one. Now I cannot access the emails and settings. Are they stored somewhere, or completely deleted when restoring a profile?

When you replace one file with another, what usually happens when an old profile is restored (especially when the accounts are the same). Then you have replaced your mail with another version. You olny option are your personal backups, Thunderbird does not store any information in "the cloud"

How do I recover my lost tabs after updating to Firefox v33?

Problem: After update to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP tabs from my previous session, which was last night at 6:38 pm EST.
Here are the steps that I have taken:
1) History > Restore previous session is greyed out.
2) I have checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > General panel > When Firefox starts: > Show my windows and tabs from last time.
3) I have right-clicked on Firefox > Properties > Previous Versions. But since I never set up any sort of restore configuration, there were no previous versions available.
4) I have tried to look for the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder to replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because the date for that file was last modified at 10/14/2014 6:38pm. However, I can not find the session.js file and the only sessionstore-related files that I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak-20140923175406.
Please help! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to History to find my tabs one by one because I also had GROUPs of tabs that I have not opened in a month or more and each group of tabs have many tabs in them too.

Hi magasx, I'm trying to understand the part about previous.js. That was not helpful because it wasn't an early enough version of your session? In your screenshot it is a very large file, and so is your recovery.js. Did you check the list of closed windows and tabs that appears on the History menu to see whether what you're missing appears there?
Your screen shot shows a 9MB file from March 22nd, it's the last one in the list. To try that file, I suggest copying it to a safe place, and then when Firefox is closed, renaming the current sessionstore.js file to sessionstore.old and copying in the upgrade...js file and renaming it to sessionstore.js. Then when you start Firefox, Restore Previous Session. Does that get you close?

What happened to Firefox - I suddenly lost my tab and toolbar settings and it is now an unrecognizable mess that is very slow.

Had Firefox configured just the way I wanted it. Suddenly it was getting very slow so I quit and restarted.
Now Firefox looks completely different. I lost my tabs and toolbar settings. Firefox looks completely different than it did an hour ago. What's going on here? The new design is dreadful.

Hello Deardorff57--
Did you just go through a FF upgrade by any chance? Please let us know.

How do I recover lost tabs when Session Restore and the option to load previously closed tabs aren't available?

Hi there,
I have been having a hell of a time over the last couple days days to recover my lost tabs in Firefox, which vanished yesterday morning (Restore Previous Session and Restore Closed Tabs were both greyed out). Actually, my add-ons have also been removed and many of my settings seem to have reverted back to their default state.
My default setting was to show my windows and tabs from last time, but I recently updated Advanced System Care, and it seems that its AutoClean feature (which sweeps cookies, surfing history, cookies, browser cache, etc. at startup) removed all of this. I'm pretty sure this was the culprit, anyway - curiously my history seems to have not been deleted. But I did get a notification after I booted that AutoClean had run and done its thing.
I had a lot of tabs open, which I realize is not necessarily a best practice, that had some important information on them. Sifting through my browsing history to find all of the important tabs I had open would probably take weeks and isn't really an option at this point. Also, my tabs didn't open until they were clicked, so I wouldn't be able to just look at the history over the last few days (since some of them were originally opened quite a while ago and haven't been clicked since).
I would tremendously appreciate any assistance that anyone could provide in recovering these tabs or a previous day's session/state. I have done a lot of reading so far but haven't been able to find an answer that works. If someone has one, that would make me extremely happy. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Thank you for reading,
Brian

You you no longer have access to that previous session via the sessionstore.js file, but still have the history then you need to check the history and use one of the sort options like sort by visited date to see which pages have been visited during that time period.
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.
*Right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

Clicking on Microsoft Update opened Firefox, but 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!

I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings. One number is checked(mine) and the other is not(my sons). However when someone sends me a text it goes to both mine and my sons iphones. How do i delete his number from my phone.

I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings. One number is checked(mine) and other is not(my sons). However when someone sends me a test it goes to both numbers. Mine and my sons. How do I delete his number so that he no longer received texts intended for me.

The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

I set up iCloud on pc, ipad etc was asked to copy contacts to iCloud and have lost all the settings and groups that they were in for over 2000. Can I get it back?

I have Outlook on my PC and thought it would be smart to have my contact in the Clouds where my ipad, work pc, home pc would be updated etc. So I was asked I though to copy my contacts from Outlook to iCloud. Instead it moved them and in doing so lost all the settings like Categories and reset how they are listed (used first name because have a lot of drs, phds, msws etc) now listed with last name and so I have a lot of people with md as last name. This is an organization list and is about 2000 contacts so having to go back and fix it will be a nightmare and unnecessary work.
Is there any way I can fix this easily instead of correcting each contact one at a time?
Thanks.

Restore your backup.

I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.

I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.
I guess what I have experienced might be a special case of 'Restore previous sessions'. The actual situation was that after I rebooted my laptop, Adobe update jumped out indicating an update being finished successfully. After I clicked on the 'close' button of the Adobe window, it automatically started firefox and linked to its website. But I did not find the 'Restore previous sessions' page this time. Then I restarted firefox, this time there was a start page with 'Restore previous sessions'. However, sadly enough, it is only restored my pinned pages plus the Adobe website. Actually, I am using 'bookmark all tabs' from time to time to secure opened tabs, but this time I did not expect such an incident. I would suggest to improve the 'Restore previous sessions' with multiple time tags and appear in all cases including my reported case here, after updating firefox, crashes etc. I like firefox in most occasions, therefore believe and hope it becomes better and more robust. Thank you very much!

Hi,
Please see the following support request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2628065
I think the best option would be to leave feedback here to let the relevant development team know about the problem you have had: https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
Also you could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] add-on which gives more control over how sessions are restored.
I hope that helps

Tab and option settings

i am baffled by sudden difficulty setting tabs options so windows display correctly, and i don't understand any of the article explanations. I've noticed from using POGO that suddenly when trying to open a game table in spades, the table window is not opening in a pop up window for just the game table... instead it is opening on my browser window as an added tab. This has made using pogo features extremely difficult, and i don't understand how what I assumed was just a java applet pop up has suddenly become executed as a new browsing tab.
I am anything but a geek, and have struggled since losing Windows XP . By my grasp of computers, none of the new database or software instructions are written so they can be understood. by this user. Either Mozilla or Windows 7 seems to change feature or options settings without my awareness that the option has been changed.
The problem specifically now, is opening up a game table window used to open without browsing tab features, and that was simpler. now the new table request is opening as a tab on a browser window and that is just completly handicapping the ability to use the pogo website. I've looked at tools options for tabs and don't understand how any of the choices relate to this navigation problem i'm having with using the pogo site
... please help.

I have corrected all my plug ins and add ons and extensions in firefox. I've gone to control panel and uninstalled duplicates. I've updated all JRE and Java and Shockwave and Flash applications. Mozilla tells me all my add ons exgtensions etc are up to date now. Pogo STILL WILL NOT LOAD A GAME TABLE ANYPLACE BUT IN A BROWSER WINDOW. POGO IS STILL MESSED UP AND I WISH ALL THEIR PROGRAMMING EFFORTS WOULD JUST IMPLODE. THEY ARE THE MOST DISRUPTIVE WEBSITE ON THE WEB. NONE OF THEIR MAINTENANCE AND PROGRAMMAING EVER WORKS CORRECTLY AND ALWAYS CORRECTS MONTHS OF INCORRECT PROCESSING AND JUST PLAIN JUNKY COMPUTER COMMAND/ APPLICATION ACTIVITY. I ALSO THINK WHAT POGO DOES OFTEN CREATES PROGRAMMING BUGS FOR OTHER APPLICATIONS, LIKE CAUSING JAVA AND SHOCKWAVE TO NOT LOAD OR EXECUTE CORRECTL,Y.
DOES ANYONE AT POGO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING?
