Love app tabs but they disappear when I quit and restart FF4 beta.

Hello, I've set up my app tabs twice, but they are gone after I have quit Firefox. On restarting, the only tab is my home page. Thanks, and hope you can help.

Just loaded Firefox 4.0 Final release and had this problem. I normally tell Firefox to forget browser history. When I disable this feature Firefox remembers my App Tabs. I really wish I didn't have to ch9ose between these options! I like to keep my browser history, cache, etc clean for added security and privacy. I'm opting for security over convenience so I guess I'm not going to use App Tabs for now.

I love using firefox app tabs, but they always disappear when I restart firefox. Is there any way to get chosen app tabs to load when firefox restarts?

Firefox 5 has a great new feature called app tabs, but it looks like I'm stuck resetting them every time I quit firefox or restart my computer. It seems to me the whole point of "pinned" app tabs is that they're the sites you read most frequently, and therefore it would be useful if they loaded automatically when firefox was started. Is there a way to do this? Do I have firefox on the wrong settings? Or am I stuck re-creating my app tabs every time I restart my computer / firefox??

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

Love App Tabs but have several that just show a white page as icon how do I get them to appear as a site logo?

I love the new App Tabs but have several that when pinned just show a white page as the icon, so you have to mouse over them to figure out which one is which. Example is bankdirect.co.nz. Is there a way of getting the site logo to show up so you can see what is what at a glance but still have the nifty space saving size of the App Tab? Thanks!

Thanks for that. I have to say that there were a couple of screens that appeared to show both the iPhone and iPad and it was the iPad that was showing the icon!
It is not life threatening, I just thought that something had not installed as it should have.

Thanks for your comment.

I love app tabs but everytime I close firefox they are not there when I open it, help

I just discovered app tabs and found it really easy to set them up but each time I close Firefox and then reopen, all the app tabs I have set no longer exist. How do I get them to save?

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
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.

Texts are sending, but they disappear when I send

Title pretty much says it. I can send texts, when I send they will disappear but the people I send them to recieve them. They just don't show up on my phone. WIth iMessages, it is saying they can't be sent. This is a refurbished iPhone my original one had a battery issue. I've restored it from the backup of the original iPhone and didn't have this issue with the previous one. Thanks for any help!

All of the App Tabs I have set when I quite Firefox did not open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again, why?

All the App Tabs disappeared when I opened Firefox after quitting. I understand that the App Tabs that I had set remains there if I close the browser and not quit. So does that mean that I have to create App Tabs every time I restart FireFox?

If you use CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

App Tabs seem like a good idea, but they disappear between sessions. I'm using Firefox 4 on a Mac.

Not much more I can say. I pin a few websites, and that's cool. But when I quit and restart, they're gone.

I have this same problem. Firefox 4 on 10.6.7 on a 2009 unibody Macbook Pro.
I've noticed that I only have the problem when I'm using multiple monitors and my Firefox 4 window is to the left of the Mac OS X Menu Bar.
My typical arrangement is: laptop monitor with firefox 4 window TO THE LEFT OF external Dell 24 inch monitor with Mac OS X Menu bar.
Moving my Firefox 4 window to the external monitor allows me to open a window.

I tried to use the app tabs but when I reopen my browser they are not there anymore

I added my favorite tabs as app tabs but when I restart my browser they are not there anymore, is that normal?

Sessionrestore occasionally does not show my tabs as they were when I closed Firefox, but as they were some time before I closed it.

Occasionally Sessionrestore doesn't show my tabs as they were when I closed Firefox, but as they were at some seemingly random (but persistent if trying again) point between starting and ending my previous session. Occasionally they're exactly as they were when I started my last session. I'm currently using Firefox 5, but the problem was already present when I was still using 4. Perhaps it's also relevant that I tend to have lots of windows and tabs open, sometimes to the point of crashing Firefox.

I've increased my window limit to five too, though I'm unsure if I understand it's function correctly, I've reloaded more then three windows through session restore in the past. Anyway, that didn't have an effect. I haven't used app tabs at all yet, so I doubt that could be the problem. As for closing down Firefox correctly, the problem seems to persist regardless of how Firefox closes, be it a crash, killing it in task manager, or through file>exit. I forgot to mention this earlier, but I've monitored sessionstore.js, and it seems like that file literally stops being modified at some point, regardless if I keep browsing. If there's a way that I could "reliably duplicate" the process, I'd love to help, just say what I should do. It's been happening pretty much every browsing session lately, it seems that if I just browse for a decent while it's bound to happen.

I opened Google Chat in a tab and pinned it as an App Tab, but the App Tab does not "glow" when new message arrives in Google Chat.

I am running Firefox 4.0.
I opened this page for Google Talk (http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/client), signed in, and initiated a chat with one of my contacts.
Then, I pinned the tab (containing the above chat page) as an App Tab.
According to the documentation for Firefox 4, when the contents of an App Tab's page is changed, the corresponding tab is highlighted.
However, when a new chat message arrives in the Google Talk page (that corresponds to the pinned App Tab), the tab is not highlighted.
App Tab highlighting works for Gmail, and other web pages (i.e., when other web pages are pinned as App Tabs the corresponding tab is highlighted when the contents of the page changes), but App Tab highlighting does not work for the Google Talk page. Is this a bug in Firefox 4?

Thanks for the quick replies.
@cor-el: I think you are correct ... App Tabs do not glow when the content of the page changes (which would result in the tab "glowing" when a new Google Talk message arrived) ... but App Tabs only glow when the tab title changes.
I thought about writing a java script (to be used with greasemonkey) to change the tab title when a new message arrives in the Google Talk page .... but the Google Talk page looks like it's Adobe Flash.
I know that there is a "beep" when a chat message arrives, but I wanted some kind of visual notification (like the glowing App Tab) when a message arrives (because my computer is playing music and I don't hear the "beep" when a message arrives).
Any suggestions for getting a visual notification when new Google Talk chat message arrives?

I am trying to set up app tabs, but when I am using one, if I go to a new site from there, the app tab changes to the new site instead of opening in a new tab, then the app tab changes to the new site. Can you help? Thanks

I am trying to set up app tabs, but when I am using one, if I go to a new site from there, the app tab changes to the new site instead of opening in a new tab, then the app tab changes to the new site. i.e. The app tabs don't stay constant. This occurs while still in Firefox, and does not relate to when I close it. Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks

If you backed up the iPhone to either iTunes or the iCloud, restore the backup. If not, the data is gone.

I copied this from your 5.0 download information: "All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again." When I opened my computer today all my apptabs from yesterday had disappeared. Why?

Your download page for 5.0 stated: All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
I liked the convenience of using App Tabs and was disappointed to find that the ones I had set up yesterday were gone today. Am I doing something wrong?

Works fine for me, I can simulate your problem by improperly closing Firefox.
The correct way would be to close the windows you don't want and then to exit Firefox through the File ("'''Alt+F'''") menu then use '''Exit''' or '''Qui'''t depending on your system.
But '''I can simulate your problem''' by closing the good window with "X" in the upper right-corner first (the one with the app-tabs) and then close the other window by any means.
You restart Firefox and open a window, since you closed without app-tabs there are none so you just see a window with your home page.
Firefox has some things added to Firefox 4 and therefore in Firefox 5.
# "'''Alt+S'''" (Hi'''s'''tory menu)
# "'''Restore Previous Session'''" (that's the window without the app-tabs, but you have to this first)
# "'''Restore Recently Closed Windows'''" -- can choose which window to reopen based on name and the mouse-over tells how many tabs. or you just use "'''Restore All Windows'''" without the guessing.
''I know you are on a Mac, and this affects Windows user more than anybody else, but it does affect other systems besides Windows, occasionally, perhaps more often now with the plugins container.''
The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Firefox 4 and 5 that would be Alt+F then X
* '''Firefox hangs''' | Troubleshooting | Firefox Support <br>http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit
Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>

'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

TS1398 I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?

I have an iPhone 5 and my apps won't work on LTE but they will when I'm connected to wifi. Am I the only 1?

I am having the same problem. I am not able to load ESPN or any of its affiliated apps. I also tried craigslist and ebay using safari and no luck. I tried contacting ESPN and they told me to contact AT&T. So I have been chatting with an AT&T rep for about an hour and haven't had any luck. Some friends who also have AT&T are having the same problems, while those with Verizon are working fine. I'm from the St. Louis are if that's any help.

Ringtones i purchased from itunes disappeared when my iphone 4s restarted and they only show up as 'on my device' in itunes library but with a grey dotted circle. How do I get them back? They worked until the phone restarted!

I purchased some alert tones on my iphone 4s via itunes yesterday. They all worked just fine until the phone ran out of battery and I plugged it in and restarted. They have vanished from the phone and when I connect to my PC they only show up as 'on my device' under tones and with a grey dotted circle by them. How do I get them back? This is crazy! I purchased one a second time, it worked, I switched my phone off and on again and it has gone again!!!

Having the same issue on multiple alert tones on my Iphone5c. After purchase they disappear from the phone and show up on my itune under Tones grayed out with a dotted circle next to them.

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.

Love app tabs but they disappear when I quit and restart FF4 beta.
