It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Accidentally pushed "start new session" after crash. Tabs are gone from history.

After one of the ten crashes per day since I upgraded, I accidentally pushed, "Start New Session" instead of "restore". So, my '''closed window/tab records were wiped out''', and in my history, it only has those tabs that I opened anew this morning - NOT the ones I had saved so I could look at them later. A lot of these I had not bookmarked yet.

If you haven't closed Firefox then see if you still can restore that session via Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session.
You should update the Flash and Java plugin to the latest versions

Accidentally hit "Start New Session"... URLs in a crash report or something?

Ok, so I knew it would happen sooner or later, and just kept hoping it would be later...
I hit "Start New Session" instead of restore today... Looked around for previous solutions, and found no sessionstore.bak in my folder...
FF had crashed previously in the day, and I had hoped that would mean all the reloaded windows would be in today's history(some were a few months old), but that doesn't seem to be the case. (and I guess it doesn't help that my system is backdated(cause of 7100))
So I am wondering if there happens to be any sort of crash report archive that may happen to have the urls that were open in some way? Long shot I know but I figured I'd at least ask.

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
If you haven't closed Firefox since then, you can access ''about:sessionrestore'' to restore the lost session. If you closed Firefox in the mean time, I believe there's no way to get your session back. [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session+Restore Session Restore] will always get your last session back, and solely the last session.
P.S.: I'm not certain ''about:sessionrestore'' is available in old versions of Firefox. Versions of Firefox before 3.5 are no longer supported, in any case, as I said.

Start new session automatically after the current one is expired

Hi Guys,
My application should be displayed on the screen 24/7 . The information there is being refreshed every 5 minutes. When the APEX session is expired the refresh stops working and the page has to be reloaded.
I'm looking for the solution that would allow to keep the application always on and to start new session automatically without a human being involved.
Thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi everybody,
Being impatient, I've already found a solution. I created a JavaScript function the reloads the page. Instead of current session ID in the url I use 1. In this case apex generates the new session.
The Timer Plug-in runs the function every X minutes.
The function code is the following:
function reload() {
     var url = location.href;
     var g_app_id = '&APP_ID.';
     var g_page_id = '&APP_PAGE_ID.';
     var patt = new RegExp("[^=]+","i"); // i - Perform case-insensitive matching
     var newUrl = url.match(patt) + "=" + g_app_id + ":" + g_page_id + ":1";
     window.location.assign(newUrl);
I hope it might be helpful for you guys.
Regards,
Elena

[SOLVED] KDE Start New Session doesn't work from lock screen

On my laptop, if I lock the KDE 4 session and then click Switch Users > Start New Session, I get a login screen and can log in as a different user. All good.
If I do the same thing on my desktop, it doesn't work. When I click Switch Users > Start New Session, it doesn't start a new session or switch VTs. Instead, I just get reprompted for the existing user's password.
Both machines are running fully updated Arch. Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? The only difference I can think of between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has nomodeset specified as a kernel boot parameter. (It won't boot without it.) Could this be interfering with automatic VT switching? Manual VT switching (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) works fine.

Little more detail. Checking the journal, I can see Xorg is failing to start on display :1. If I compare Xorg.0.log with Xorg.1.log, it appears that it's not finding the proprietary NVIDIA driver in the second case. Don't know why it would be any different for :1, though. See?

Can I retrieve a crashed session after accidentally clicking "Start new Session"

After getting the "Embarassing" dialogue, I accidentally clicked "Start new Session" instead of restore. Is there a way to access the cache and restore those tabs and windows? I'm running Windows and have not shut down my machine since the loss.

First, find your profile folder [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles?s=Profile&as=s#How_to_find_your_profile by reading this]
Then, copy the files sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js to another folder such as your desktop.
Close your Firefox and copy the sessionstore.js to the profile folder, and restart Firefox. See if your session was restored.
If not, close firefox, proceed to copy the second file (the .bak one) to the profile folder, and rename it to sessionstore.js , overwriting the other file. Restart Firefox.
If not any of these two files has your session saved, sorry.

I accidentally chose 'Start New Session' instead of 'Resume Last Session' upon opening. Any way to recover the tabs?

Hi abass4982,
You could try going to ''History > Restore Previous Session''. It might not work, but it's worth a try!
Hopefully this helps!

Choice between start new session and restore previous session

I have refused to update firefox since 2.0.0.14. That's mid 2008. The reason? Because EVERY update I have seen has a critical flaw and I am sick of it never having been addressed. Oh, I have tested it many times. I am impatient in general. I have allowed it to update just now for instance with the naive hope that MAYBE you'd put it back the way it should be, and NOPE, you STILL have the critical epic fail that you introduced some time after 2.0.0.14, and I then had to uninstall firefox and reinstall my copy of 2.0.0.14 and restore my passwords and bookmarks from the key3.db and bookmarks.htm files (which also aren't compatible with the later versions, and that's bad too since it was more efficiently done and more comprehensible and more compatible with common knowledge that way, what the hell is a .json file anyway????), and I am sick of it. It's getting harder and harder to use 2.0.0.14, things constantly say snide things like 'upgrade (downgrade) to a modern browser, your browser is not supported', 'you are using md5 for certificate validation, are you insane?', that sort of thing, and things often don't work right, but it is WORTH every bit of it to avoid the critical epic fail.
Ok, enough suspense. That critical epic fail is this: when I start firefox after the previous session crashed (or was killed by the task manager), it does NOT give the NICE CHOICE 2.0.0.14 does between "begin new session" and "restore previous session". It automatically restores the previous session. Do you have any idea how many times I have gone to a webpage only to observe it is infected with a virus which it tries to put on my computer, or just a horrible page with a horrible script that seems to involve an infinite loop or at least something incredibly excessive and inefficiently coded that totally eats up the CPU processing power and I BARELY managed to KILL firefox with the task manager? Do you think I want it to go right back to loading that page when I start firefox again? Do you have the BATSH*T INSANE notion that I should always WANT to restore my previous session? Well I DON'T! I killed it with good reason in the first place. 100% of the time mozilla gets killed by the task manager and 90% of the time it crashes, I don't WANT to restore my previous session. Is there some secret hidden feature representing providing this choice that 2.0.0.14 provided that is by default DISABLED that I can maybe enable, or do I have to continue using 2.0.0.14 and watch as more and more and more things refuse to work with it?
Also, you need to have the "stop" button within reach of the bookmarks and the left side of the address bar, not on the far right of the screen. And I'd also rather not have it be in the same place as the refresh button, though I understand the justification for having the stop button become the refresh button. Is there any way I can also have the "forward, back, stop, refresh" buttons all together and in the most convenient place as they were in 2.0.0.14 while I'm at it?

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

Messages - missing 'Start New Conversations From'

Have an iPhone 4 that I am attempting to use without cellular service.
Am able to use Facetime but am having a problem with Messages.
In the Settings > Messages > Send & Receive the phone does not display the 'Start New Conversations From' section.
I am unable to send from Messages. I assume these two items are related.
I've tried resetting the phone, using a different apple id / icloud account, all to no avail.
Any ideas?
TIA

This worked for me. Turn off iMessage in Settings---> Messages. Then turn off iPhone. Restart iPhone then turn iMessage back on. The phone number should reappear.

Can I retrieve my last session after accidently chosing start new session over restore session?

I love the feature of restoring last session. But I accidentally chose the wrong choice (open new session) and lost all my previous session. How can I get back to my previous session?

If you use the Time Machine then you can restore a previous version of the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder

After typing master password in session can I force typing master password again without ending current session and starting new session?

Sometimes after using the master password to access an account during a given firefox session I would like to "revoke" this ability for automatic access (i.e. require typing the master password again) without having to end the current session and restart firefox.
While it is nice to only have to type the master password once per session, there are times when after starting some action I would like to leave the browser unattended for a short time but prevent others from accessing sensitive information at other sites if they do not know my master password. Note this is not the same as "locking the browser." Presently the only way I know to force this is to kill the current session and restart the browser but this is not very satisfactory if I actually want to stay connected (authorized) at a particular site. I would hope that adding a button on the security tab to "require master password for current session" would be a simple fix to implement? Thank you for your attention.

While waiting for a response to this question, I stumbled upon a partial (good workaround) answer to my question in the form of a Firefox addon, Master Password Timeout [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/master-password-timeout/ ]. Among other things it adds "Logout Master Password" as an option under the Firefox "Tools" menu which then gives the functionality I was looking for.
It seems to me though that this is a basic security option that would be good for a general Firefox user to be aware of since leaving a browser open unattended with no master password required could easily lead to trouble. Before finding this addon I was not aware that Firefox 4 had a 30 minute default timeout for the master password. At least in my case I have left Firefox going overnight on home computers and have not had to retype the master password the next morning... so somehow I missed having this "default" set when I upgraded to Firefox 4.

Want to start new session in same browser instance when user ReTypes URL

HI All,
I am facing one problem in my sturts application.Its giving me problem that values in the session persists in the my JSP form.
I entered Userid and password and logged in and gone forward now when I retype Url and give request in same Browser instance a values in my JSP form are visible to me.

I am guessing this is malware or adware of some sort. Ty scanning with multiple and up-to-date tools
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.

Firefox crashes after I open with a message, oops how embarassing, and asks which applicaiton to keep open or start new session. I opt for new session and it crashs

For the past two weeks, firefox will will crash after I open it or not open at all but just flash on the screen and disappear. This happens when I open in Google or search on MSN or go to hotmail.
