Preview doesn't remember the last page opened

I have noticed that Preview doesn't remember the last page of the PDF documents after 30 mins of usage (or opening up several PDF files). Is there any way to make Preview always remember the last page of files irrespective of time the file was last used and number of PDF files opened? I think in SL-ML era this was probably the case but since Mavericks it seems to have changed.

Deleting "browser.download.lastDir" makes firefox unusable.
It's very annoying. I'm sick of the update to 3.6. It's getting worse with each minor update.
Hour after hour researching about this odd behavior sucks!

  • How can i let firefox not to remember the last page that i've closed?

    At the beginning, Firefox asked me wither to remember the last page that i've closed or not. i accidently chose yes, but i dont know how to change it back.

    When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened.  Is there a way to start on the homepage?

    That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep.  What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent.  Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion.  I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

  • Firefox doesn't remember the last used download directory that I saved to when it restarts!

    Even when I have firefox set to ask me where to save files, it's default location is still the folder selected under "download options", instead of the last location I saved to.
    I suspect that this has something to do with the "download.lastdir" option in "about:config", which disappears everytime it's restarted and only appears when I have saved a file before checking on it.
    Firefox used to remember the last location in which a file was saved. This was simpler and more convenient.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed version 3.6.6

  • Each time I open my Firefox browser, the tab from the last time opens. I have the browser set to open on my home page, not to the tab from the last time. I keep trying to save the setting for the browser to open on my home page but it doesn't.

    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox 4 doesn't open in a homepage, but rather opens the last page I visited, which I HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So far the Firefox upgrades are nothing but trouble to me and my computer. Where is the homepage. Why when I open Firefox from the desktop shortcut do I not get a homepage, but rather the last page I visited. I was doing bills, and finished but couldn't find the log off button, so closed the page, and then closed firefox. When I re-opened, it opened right to the page where I was still signed into my account!!!!!!! A security failure if I ever saw one. There is not one thing I have found to be helpful since Firefox first updated me to 3.6.14, then quit responding completely! So I tried the 4 Beta, and it is so far a disaster.

    If the Cookies window is open and no browser or other Firefox windows are open, opening a new browser window will now still open the last page visited instead of a blank page, even if "Show a blank page" is selected for "When Firefox starts:", and even if the last browser window opened was blank; I tested this by opening a webpage and then opening a blank browser window, closing the browser window with the webpage, then closing the blank browser window, then opening a new browser window while the Cookies window remained open. It is a time waster to have to continually close and reopen the Cookies window and a potential privacy disaster to have your website reopened after you closed your browser. Please, please, fix this.

  • Preview doesn't remember last location

    Hi,
    I'm reading a 1200+ pages ebook in PDF format, but a major problem is that Preview (Snow Leopard) does not remember the location/page from the last session. I remember this worked great in Leopard (10.5) but not anymore although the eBook is well-structured, i.e., it has a table of contents and jump-links.
    Do I have to configure/hack anything for it to work?
    I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

    Know that the version of Preview with Snow Leopard isn't the same as before.
    If a particular process is critical to your workflow, you'd be well advised to start looking for other tools, such as Acrobat.
    As an alternative just for reading, try Safari instead...use the File/Open menu and let it load.

  • When i open my browser it does not go to the home page but the last page that I was on in my previous internet session. whats going on here?

    Ok so I open my Firefox browser but when it opens it does not go to the homepage. It goes to the last page I visited in my previous internet session. My homepage is www.imdb.com but lets says I go to www.facebook.com and then i close the window; if I reopen firefox it will go to the facebook page and not the homepage. This happens all the time and it even happens after I restart the computer. It always goes to the last page I visited. Like this page for example where I posted a question. Once i close firefox, and then open it again, it will come to this page and not the homepage. Is this supposed to happen? It started happened a few weeks back. I reinstalled it and it still happens. thanks.

    Hi eaglerabbit,
    This is a pretty easy fix. Just go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and change the preference for what Firefox should do on startup. You probably have it set to load tabs and pages from your previous session.
    If that doesn't work, you should look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How to get safari to open to the last page I was on and screens to enlarge automatically?

    Hello, I just upgraded to the latest iMac version from my 2010 model, and whenever I close and open up safari it opens to top siotes instead of the last page I was on, and every time I open it I have to enlarge it myself by clicking the arrows in the top right. Same happens with everything else, like the app store. How do I change this so whenever I go to safari it opens to the last page I was on and has safari, app store, etc. have large screens right away? I set up my old iMac 3 years ago, and I guess I must've done something to have it do this, but I forgetn what I did. Thank you in advance

    Hello there, Clumn.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some general tips for Mavericks that may address your issue:
    OS X Mavericks: General preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph13803
    Particularly of note:
    Close windows when quitting an application
    If you quit apps with windows still open on your screen, selecting this checkbox prevents the windows from reopening automatically the next time you start their app.
    This feature when not selected will allow the application to reopen windows automatically when you open the app.
    Additionally, this article provides information on how to set windows Full Screen:

  • My opening page won't load the home page even though I set it to home page in preferences.  Instead it always opens to the last page I had when I last closed.  I'd like it to open to my home page.  I've tried dumping and reloading Safari, I have 5.1.2.

    My Safari 5.1.2 Just won't open to my home page even though I have it set in preferences.  It continues to open on the last page I was on when I last closed Safari.  What overrides my settings in preferences?

    I just purchased my first MAC after working on PC for the past 25 years and would like to know how to keep my safari program to be the full screen everytime I get into the app. I always have to click the two arrows to the top right of the safari program but on a PC it is always opened in full screen mode ??? and while I have you plugged in how do you make it so that the manu bar does not go away (hyernate??)
    Cheers

  • When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

    When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.  I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail.  It used to print fine until recently.  Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

    I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

  • When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

    Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

    Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".

  • Despite setting a Home Page Firefox always opens in the last page viewed. How do I solve this?

    I have followed the instructions for setting a Home Page. Firefox always opens in the last page I viewed. Clicking on the Home icon does take me to my Home Page once Firefox has opened.

    You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
