My pinned tabs are not saved in Firefox 9

I updated firefox yesterday to 9.01 and now my pinned tabs are not saved when I reopen firefox. I had hoped the days of having umpteen problems on each update were gone now there is a little one every couple of weeks but no, it's still a pain.

Well that was odd, decided to check addons and started firefox in safe mode and my pinned tabs were there so restarted it to disable addons one by one but before I could do anything my pinned tabs were back in place. Lets hope it lasts.

My pinned tabs are not saved. Changed the settings still does not work?

This changed before upgrading to the new version of FRFX. I cannot save my pinned tabs, nor does Firefox open to the last tabs open. Tried to change Settings...still does not work.
I have a new iMac 3.4, i7, 16g for video editing. Its running LION 10.7.2

Changes to my bookmarks are not saved when firefox is restarted. I already tried deleting places.sqlite, but it is still doing this.

Since I downloaded Firefox 4, I have not been able to save changes to my bookmarks (this includes both adding new bookmarks or deleting old bookmarks). When I make a change, the changes are not saved the next time I restart Firefox. After doing a Google search I found a Mozilla help page that suggested deleting the place.sqlite file. After doing this, Firefox will save changes for a few days, but then go back to not saving the changes. I've done this twice already.

Sounds that you have cleanup or other security software that cause corruption of the file places.sqlite
You need to check the settings of your software and make sure that you exclude the Firefox Profile Folder to avoid such problems.

App tabs are not saving nor highlighting when I get updates

When I restart Firefox, my app tabs sometimes saves, and sometimes they do not. Also I open a new window in a current session, my app tabs do not save between windows. I would expect them to be on every window I opened; otherwise, they'd really be no different from normal tabs.
Also, Firefox says that when an app tab updates, it will highlight. However, my hotmail app tab and my facebook app tab will not highlight no matter how many emails or facebook notifications I receive.
Edit:
Is there a way to have the app tab save the page you pinned. For example, have it save my facebook wall and have it open my facebook wall when I restart firefox instead of having it load a friend's profile page?

The app tabs feature is still in a relatively early stage of development. The option to remember app tabs independently of sessions has not yet been implemented, but it will be part of the release version of Firefox 4.

Tabs are not saved on closing. Settings may be set incorrectly gives no information

Not asked to save tabs on closing. tried safe mode and checking for corrupt files as in the instructions. Under "Settings may be set incorrectly" no information is given.

You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get back the previous session.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.

Pin tabs are too wide in Firefox 29

In Fx29 (Mac version), Pin (or App) tabs, of which I have 15-25 present at any time, now occupy so much screen space — approximately twice as much as in Fx28 — that I have hardly any space left to see my regular tabs. Can this be customised? I don't mind editing config files in the Profile, as long as I get some clear instructions about how to proceed.

Thanks a lot, cor-el, I had look into that possibility. But I had also understood, from another thread, that it was a bit buggy, and that the UI had to be reset at about every relaunch of Fx. I wasn't looking forward to that for this (so far) one and only wish, nor to having to ''"switch to a new clean profile (or at least delete 'localstore.rdf' from profile folder)"'', according to the Classic Theme Restorer's programmer's own instructions.
On the other hand, I also found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981910?esab=a&as=aaq this thread] and [https://support.mozilla.org/pt-BR/questions/930273 this one] about '''''expanding''''' the screen size of the App Tabs. I suppose it's only a question of editing the pixel size, but I couldn't quite figure the instructions you yourself had given in reply.

My bookmarks are not saving in Firefox, they will save in other browsers. Any tips why?

Nothing happens when I go to save, or "bookmark" a website. It stopped asking me what folder, and it does not even save in a general list. I'm considering switching browsers.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files. 
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Tabs not saved when Firefox closes!

Why oh why has Firefox 6.0.2 (on Mac) stopped automatically saving and re-opening TABS when restarted?
I've read a million Help articles and verified all the recommended settings are applied but I'm sorry, this new Tabs functionality is counter-intuitive and just plain misleading. Firefox saves Tabs, but only if it's closed in *this* particular way? Please. I'm having enough trouble adjusting to the use of a Mac, without Firefox compounding the problem by removing / obstructing the use of a feature that was previously easy to use, and made perfect sense! If we click "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it means we want Firefox to SHOW MY WINDOWS AND TABS FROM LAST TIME! Even if we click the "X" button to close Firefox.
Anyway the bottom line is that I've lost all my working TABS (again), but this time clicking on the History menu, the "Restore Previous Session" command is DISABLED. What options do I have? I haven't restarted Firefox once since having my Tabs disappear, so they should still be saved somewhere. (in the BAK file?)
And I don't want to have to sift through months of history to try and find all the Tabs I had open!
This new logic that makes it more complicated to save Tabs across sessions is NOT an improvement!
Thanks in advance.

Tabs are only saved if you close (Firefox > Quit) the Firefox application while those tabs are still showing. If you close a window and still have the menu bar visible then you wont reopen already close tabs. You may need to be able to reopen the three last closed windows via History > Recently closed Windows.

Upon startup Firefox says "Proxy is refusing connections." When I select "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced settings and solve problem, changes are not saved and upon next startup I must select again...!

Firefox 4 was working fine. Then one day, when I started up Firefox, it says "Proxy is refusing connections." I solved this by selecting "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced network settings, but my changes are not saved and upon every start-up I must select it again! (I even completely removed my webroot antivirus protection, as it as hindering many proxy related programs, but this seems to not be the source of the problem)

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

My open tabs are not being remembered when I close and re-open Firefox 4 even though I selected this feature in Options.

My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried all the suggested decisions- didn't work.

My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried the default page - on it I don't have "Restore Previous Session" button. I tried with the history menu - the "Restore Previous Session" option is not even available, like I never had previous session. I have tried to put my settings to always restore the tabs from the previous time- in fact, this option is on "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for a very long time now. Still don't work. Please, give me ideas, or even set up some time to chat live. Thank you all in advance.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Sent Messages are not saved in Sent Mailbox

It was working correctly but suddenly all my sent messages are not saved in the Sent Mailbox. I follow all the Mail Help instructions but nothing seems to work. Hope that someone can help me. I asked for help on december 14 but it was not helpful

The mailboxes drawer contains all mailboxes under In, Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk (if you have Junk Mail set to automatic).
If you have a .Mac or IMAP type account, you also have an account named icon for the .Mac or IMAP type account at the bottom of the mailboxes drawer. It is named by the Account Description you provided/entered for the account under the Account Information tab for the account preferences.
If you select save Sent messages on the server for a .Mac or IMAP type account, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under the account named icon in the mailboxes drawer along with all other server stored mailboxes.
To open the account named icon for your .Mac account to reveal the server stored mailboxes including the account's Sent mailbox, select the black triangle beside your .Mac account icon in the mailboxes drawer pointing it down.
Select the account's Sent mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.
If you deselect store Sent messages on the server for the account preferences, the account's Sent mailbox will be available under Sent in the mailboxes drawer and you can't use "Use This Mailbox For" for mailboxes stored locally on the hard drive. It can only be used for .Mac or IMAP type account mailboxes that are stored on the server.

Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
(A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
(B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.
