Open Firefox But Didnt Open Previous Tabs Directly

I always keep facebook as my last tab before I close firefox. When I open firefox, it will go to google.com/firefox then it jump into facebook.com. Previously it was automatically load facebook only, but these days, it will go google.com/firefox first. It wasnt as direct as last time and I find it annoying, Please help.

It is possible to toggle the preference to make sure on Start up the next time you use Firefox that the tabs from last time open up.
In the Firefox Menu please navigate to Options then the General Tab.
From here, under "Start up" please select "show my windows from last time."
If there is still an issue with the homepage Firefox Reset [[Reset Firefox preferences to troubleshoot and fix problems]] may also help.

How do I set a specific page to open when I open a new tab in Firefox? I can open the page when initially opening Firefox, but not for subsequent tabs/pages.

DESPITE SELECTING "OPEN PREVIOUS TABS" IN "MAIN" PREFERENCES, FIREFOX ONLY OPENS THE HOME PAGE

The main preference option for opening previous tabs seems fail whenever I open the browser. Don't know if the copy is defective or has become corrupted. On my mac laptop this does not occur. Is there a fix for this issue?
Thanks

If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later 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.

This last Firefox update was totally useless, all Firefox updates destroy my previous tabs and are therefore extremely disruptive.

This last Firefox update was totally useless, all Firefox updates destroy my previous tabs without warning and are therefore extremely disruptive. I lose information that will take time to recover. Firefox should give warning to its users so that vital information can be saved before updating their tab system.+

Firefox should not lose your open tabs when it updates. <br /> (That is not to say it always succeeds)
I know Firefox will sometimes remove stored open tabs with updates, and I think Firefox 29 itself had a particular issue with the open tabs.
* Bug 1001167 - Session Restore doesn't handle a corrupted sessionstore.js file properly ('''That is fixed in the current Release Firefox 30''')
Firefox 29 and later should respect the setting to not update without warning you. So you should be able to set it to
* Bug 950357 - The About dialog automatically checks for updates (and then asks the user if he wants to update) even when the "Never check for updates" option is selected. ('''Again that is fixed in Firefox 30''')
* SEE [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption#w_update-tab]]'''_update-tab'''
NOTE it has the option to let you choose when to upgrade.
I agree Firefox should warn before update, and it should give users an indication of what is about to change. Use input to make a comment.

Consider using Firefox Sync to backup your open tabs

Although Firefox will do nothing to warn you what features change, note that the Beta release is six weeks earlier and will give you a very good indication of what will be in the Release.

Every time I start FF, it opens previous tabs. How do I clean memory?

I use Firefox 4.0
It seems that FF remembers all the previous tabs after I close the browser. Some of the tabs I do not want, but every time I open FF - it re-opens these tabs. When I used previous version of FF, when closing the browser there was option to close and remember the pages or not. The 4.0 version seems like does not have this feature. At least I was unable to find it.

It sounds like you have Firefox set to show your windows and tabs from last time, you can change that:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to either "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

Used itunes for first time. Now when I open Firefox none of my previous tabs show and it opens itunes. I want my old tabs back!

Firefox automatically opens to itunes. I seem to have lost all my other tabs. When I look at firefox options, it still says it will open to my home page but it does not. It opens to itunes and all my other tabs are missing.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Regardless of settings, Firefox 4 opens previous tabs instead of home page.

Firefox 4 ignores setting under options to open home page, and always opens tabs from previous session.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly. Otherwise Firefox may try to reopen a crashed session.

How do I stop Safari (v. 6.0) from opening previous tabs every time I start it?

Each time I open Safari it opens all the tabs from my previous session. I've looked at every setting I can think of but can't find one that will stop this from happening. What am I missing? Is anyone else also having this problem and if so, what did you do to correct it?

And ofcourse I found the answer as soon as I posted the question (doesn't it always happen that way?). I went to Preferences - General - and checked the box "Close windows when quitting an application".

Since 32.0.3 Firefox restores all my previous tabs on restart.

Firefox restores all my tabs from my last session on startup.
I've verified that I have the start up option set to only show homepage, but Firefox continues to restore all my tabs from my last session. I've even changed the startup option to 'blank page' but to no avail. Firefox seems to be ignoring the startup option entirely.
Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox will not open old tabs

My computer crashed last evening and on restarting firefox, it goes to a new page without any of the old tabs available. Going under history has all of the options regarding restoring recently closed windows greyed out.
I did confirm that under preferences it is set to open previous tabs on starting firefox.
I have had the sessionstore.js file get corrupted previously. Looking in the profile folder showed the sessionstore.js to be a 1k file. So my first instinct was to just restore that file, and fortunately, there is a sessionstore.bak file with a time late last PM, so that file should still contain my last session.
I made a copy of the sessionstore.bak file and renamed it to sessionstore.js, but firefox still opens with a fresh session. I had the windows explorer (i.e. file manager) window open and as firefox was starting, the sessionstore.js got clobbered back to a 1k file suggesting the firefox is clearing the last session on opening. I tried restoring sessionstore.js from sessionstore.bak another time and making sessionstore.js read only, but firefox still will not revert back to the previous browsing session; instead it creates a new file called sessionstore.js.tmp.
I'm at a loss as to how to get my old browsing session back. I'm still using firefox V28.0. I haven't upgraded to V29 due to not wanting to lose the ability to export tabs as reported in the reviews of the android version of V29. Operating system is Win 7 SP1.

If Firefox won't read the file when it's named sessionstore.js, it may have a structural problem. In that case, a little surgery might be needed, but it's hard to know what to suggest without more information.
Could try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.

Why is Firefox always displaying previous tabs when it opens?

After I use Firefox and close the browser, the next time I open the browser it will reload ALL the tabs I had open previously. I have turned off this feature in the "options", but it's not working. ALSO, if I click on any link which is going to open a new window of Firefox, it will not go to that website, but instead load all the tabs that were open previously....again!

WHY IS FIREFOX ALWAYS FREEZING AND NOT RESPONDING?
i have deleted program and reloaded it and have same thing

Firefox always opens all previous tabs when starting

I've been using Firefox for quite a while, but it has recently begun opening every previously open tab when I restart a session. I only want the tabs I selected for my home page to open. I've tried going to the options and selecting "Show a blank page" on startup, but even that is ignored and all of the prior tabs open on each new start. I've rebooted the computer and restarted Firefox, but the problem remains.

Disabling the Add-ons didn't help, but the Firefox reset fixed the problem.
Thank you!
