Previous session lost after crash :(

Firefox crashed and now my previous session is greyed out/not available. I have my profiles folder open, but not sure if I save the sessions files in time. Might have been replaced with the newest session already. Can I use any of the files in the sessionstore-backups folder to find a backup point, and how?

The kinds of files you may find among your sessionstore-backups files are:
* recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your currently live Firefox session (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
* recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
* previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last Firefox session
* upgrade.js-''build_id'': the windows and tabs in the Firefox session that was live at the time of your last update
''Please copy them all to a safe location so Firefox doesn't replace or cull them.''
Could you take a look at what you have and the date/time of the various files to see whether you think any of them would have the missing tabs?

I want to Firefox resume previous session when it crashes, but I can't make it to do it when I set it to forget my personal data when closing.

Until the most recent versions of Firefox (let's say FF 10 or 11), when the software crashed I had the option to resume the last session when reopening it. I could do this even when I made it clear all my personal data when closing it in normal ways (i.e., when I quit the program without crashing, Firefox would not keep any personal information).
Now, however, Firefox will only restore the previous session after crashing if I don't make it clear personal data after normal quitting.
How can I fix this? I want it to restore previous session only after crashing, not after a normal exit.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Did you disable to remember form data if you do not want Firefox to remember it?<br />
Be aware that you still have to remove already saved form data in that case via Clear Recent History.

I want to remove "Restore Previous Session" without disabling crash/tab restore and history

I have checked "Clear history when ff closes" & "Active logins" / "Saved passwords" but nothing.
The options of restoring a session after a crash and reopening an accidentally closed tab are great, but I just can't feel ok that everyone on my pc can restore a whole session with an email (facebook, forum,etc) account logged in with the "Restore Previous Session" "feature", if I forgot to log out before closing Firefox.
For me this is a big privacy issue. Please don't make me switch to Chrome!

I managed to remove the "Restore Previous Session" button from the home page by changing my default home page with this : www.google.com/firefox/ (the default home page from the previous versions of Firefox). It worked for me, I hope it works for you too.

How do I stop safari from reopening previous sessions even after restart?

Finally made the leap to Lion.
WHY does safari insist on starting up and restoring the previous session, all tabs and everything even after a restart. I've looked in preferences and for the life of me cannot find how/where to turn this off. I just want Safari to start with a blank page, not reloading the previous page/tabs I had open the last time I used it!

Thanks QuickTimeKirk for the solution to this - have hated this feature as the default. It is useful if you want to return to something specific, but I reckon the majority of users would rather have the defaults the other way around - homepage as default for new Safari sessions and using the shift key when opening to return to last viewed pages/tabs.

Java lost after crash while updating, can't seem to get it back

hi,
while running software update, my computer crashed and i seem to have lost java.
i've dowloaded a number of jse releases.
most of them didn't work, one did:
java15release1
however, when trying to install:
j2se50 release 1-5, i got the alert
"unable to locate java on this volume" (yes it's the right volume)
i got these errors before and after the succesfull install.
i tried renstalling that one, but it doesn't help.
java is unrecognized in terminal, max-msp (a music app) and the sun's test site crashed firefox.
so, would be nice if anyone could help, i tried some things i found by searching, but they came down to what i had tried already.
pity, was just about to take on java programming...
btw i have the developers tools installed if that might matter.
thanks in advance

hmmm this seems to slip downpage really easily, please don't mind me for bumping it.
best

Session lost after fail over. (I kill down the server during servlet invocation)

          I just tested the failover ability of our WebLogic
          cluster. We have two instances, first, I logged onto
          the web site and created a session, and then I called
          a servlet, in which there is a complicated computation
          which will take about 5 seconds, during the
          invocation, I issued the kill -9 to shut the server
          down at once. It did failover, but the http session
          was lost,So I got the session timeout page. But if I
          kill down that server after the invocation, then it
          can failover succesfully without loss of session.
          Could you tell me is there any difference between
          killing down server during and between invocations of
          servlet or JSP?
          The configuration:
          WLS5.1 with sp8. Solaris 5.8
          Using in memory replication.
          Thank you very much for your help.

Single user mode session lost after backgound processes jump in

We have an application running on SQL server. This application restores DB very frequently using Single user mode. Following are the SQLs that are executed to restore the database in single user mode and to get the database back in multi user mode.
alter database [test-db] set single_user with rollback immediate; --This sql is run using test-db
use master;restore database [test-db] from database_snapshot = 'snapshot_test-db';
alter database [test-db] set multi_user;
After switching the test-db to single user mode some 4-5 background processes of Taskmanager jump in for the test-db kicking off the session that application has taken over in single user mode . These background process are deadlocked between them selves.
Please refer to the output of sp_who2 below at link.
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/200625
and following is the deadlock XML.
NOTE: SPIDs in deadlock XML may differ from the output of sp_who2 as spids keeps on changing for these processes.

On searching for this problem I found out that people have faced similar problem but I was unable to find out the root cause and debug steps for this problem. Stopping the SQL server is provided as a solution to kick out these background processes but this
is not a feasible in our case as code to restore DB runs very frequently resulting in this problem at a good frequency.
I also made sure that SQL Server Agent is not running. The SQL services running on server are SQL server, SQL Server Browser and SQL Server VSS Writer.
Any help will be appreciated as this is a blocker problem.
Thanks,

Hi Amrita,
We can open a transaction, make data modifications to generate a lot of transaction log, and then run ALTER DATABASE AppDB SET MULTI_USER in the same transaction. You can also refer to the following document:

VWP: Session lost after navigating 20 pages in IE6 & IE7

In the known issues of VWP 5.5.1 release notes, it mentions
"In projects with more than 20 pages, session data is lost and information saved in a session bean attribute is reset to Null once user navigates past about page 20. This is not an issue in Firefox or other browsers."
Our project have many JSP pages, and we found that the workaround (change security setting of IE ) mentioned in below released note doesn't work.
http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/55/1/vwp-release-notes.html#knownissues
Is there any other workaround solution instead?

Well. I got a workaround solution for this issue:
Setting enableCookies to false in sun-web.xml can avoid this problem.
Here is my setting:
<session-config>
<session-properties>
<property name="timeoutSeconds" value="1200"/>
<property name="enableCookies" value="false"/>
</session-properties>
</session-config>

All plugin validations lost after crash 7.2.1 pro

The topic says it all.
Logic 7.2.1. crashes a lot and today for the second time all my plugin validations got lost and logic wants to scan them ALL again (520!!). This takes a lot of time since the au validator crashes all over the place and I have to press a button lots of times.
I used to have this problem before, back in version 7.0 or something. Back then I could backup a file called au.validation.plist. But today that file does not exist anymore. Does anyone know in which FILE the validations are stored?
cheers.

I'm not sure what the TimeBarControl is (not a developer...) but my best guess is that it's the widget that the scrub bar in the Timeline and the Monitors is built on. As for what could be causing the crash, I'd only be guessing. A few things I'd try to isolate:
Whether the crash is limited to certain sequences, or possibly just one.
Whether it's tied to certain content: a single clip, a multicam or nested sequence, ...
Given the TimeBarControl and SetVisibleTimebase refs, whether it's associated either with the way you have things set up for one or more of the scrub bars (zoom level, timecode display mode, Show Audio Time Units...) or with the actual timebase of the content or the sequence (unusual frame rate, use of Interpret Footage to specify the frame rate of content).

Retrieving previously purchased songs after crash

My computer crashed so hard it left a hole in my floor.I had backed up 80% of my music. the 20% I didn't back up I recently purchased. can I get those songs or do I have to buy them again?

Unfortunately Apple have a strict download once policy so you have to repurchase the music.
However it is worth contacting Apple customer service to see you can persuade them you are a special case.

Google multiple sign-in session lost after restart

It's been a while since i use Firefox. so I'm not really sure whether it's an active issue or not.
Anyway, like everyone else does these days. I usually logged in to Gmail with both my personal and my Google Apps office account. nothing unusual there.
But this bug really annoys me. Every time I restart Firefox, I get back with only one account logged in (usually the last active session). Anyone experiencing the same issue?

You may have better luck using Chrome for access to Gmail and chat.
You could try a Safe Mode boot ...
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from your Apple () menu.
Then try Safari.

How to restore a previous sesstion when Firefox crashes

How to restore a previous sessions, when Firefox crashes?

Usually, Firefox restores automatically the previous session at startup when it crashed. If not, try History menu -> Restore previous session.

How to Stop Firefox 18 From Restoring the Previous Session After a Crash

Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7
When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I do not want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How do I prevent Firefox from restoring the previous session after a crash?
Please note:
1- My home page is set to "blank page"
2- I have configured Firefox to NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields and passwords.
3- Even in Safe Mode (i.e., with all add-ons disabled), Firefox STILL restores the previous session after a crash.

hello Bulldogger, please try the following in order to switch off sessionrestore completely: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' and '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo'''. double-click on those entries and change both of their values to '''0'''.
