Restored session loses back\forward history and some tabs become blank tabs

Sometimes when restoring my sessions, not all tabs are restored - some restore as blank "new tabs"
Also, for the tabs that do restore, the back-forward button history is gone.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Spry back/forward history - bookmarks

Hi i`m new width spry, and i love it. One thing is making me
trouble - spry back/forward history and bookmarks managment. I play
width URLUtilsSample.html in the spry`s samples folder, but i don`t
know how to implement this utility to work widthout refresh page
and make browser history posible . Is this posible? Does anyone
have any example?
Thanks
My regards
p.s. Sory about my english.

This is easily the most important piece that's missing. As
someone who's implementing dynamic page loading a history feature
is ESSENTIAL to making this work. All the fades and effects and
such are nice but this is easily number one.... and a quick number
two would be identical behavior between IE and Firefox but that's a
whole different post... ;)

I want back, forward, home and reload as icons, everything else as text please.

Hi.
I am using the Multirow Toolbar Bookmarks Plus 1.0
In customize tools I have icons set as text only.
Is there a way of having back, forward, home and reload as icons.

Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar.
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

A possible cause for issues with bookmarks is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Restore Session bug - fails after history is cleared

This has happened occasionally in the past, but after the latest Firefox update it's happening almost every time. When I close the browser, I like to clear the history first. Also, before I clear the history, I open a new blank tab and close the old tab, just to make sure all history is cleared. Then, the next time I start the browser, I get that message about not being able to restore the session, the one that starts with "Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs."
Same behavior as in this other thread, but I guess I'm supposed to start a new thread.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959257
I didn't know there's a "clear history when Firefox closes" feature, I've just been doing it all manually.

I haven't gotten the "Restore Session" error since I changed to using File > Exit instead of the X on the title bar, so I'll call this solved. I'd appreciate it if there's anything you could do to get the developers to look at this, though. This is a pretty vanilla use case and there's no reason for it to produce an error. It was working fine until the latest release.

The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

iPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

When I click on a link the address does not display in the location bar in the new tab. Which makes the back/forward button and refresh buttons unable to be used

When opening a link any link from firefox address does not display in the location bar. Even when navigating forward from there the address does not show back/forward button and refresh all rendered unable to be used

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Back/ forward buttons and refresh buttons have greyed out and don't work, how can I fix that?

Woke up this morning to find firefox's back/forward buttons and refresh unresponsive. They are just greyed out. Also, when I open Firefox it usually goes to my home page, now it just opens to an "untitled" page. I tried resetting the home page, only to find it was set correctly. The only way to get to the home page is to hit the home button. The only thing that happened overnight, that I can see, is updates on 'screenshot-program' and 'smarterfox.' I don't know what to do about it, please help?

Restore Session no longer works properly, the window shows as blank, and the restore button is greyed out. On the history tab, the three associated links are also greyed out and unusable. How do I restore functionality?

Just as the question says, I get a restore session tab whenever I open Firefox, but it no longer shows my tabs, and the Restore button is greyed out. If I open and then close a side, it no longer shows up in the "recently closed tabs" in the History menu. "restore previous session" and "Recently closed windows" are also greyed out.
I'd like this function to work correctly again.

Make sure that you do not use Clear History to clear the Browsing History when you close Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Using time machine - can you go back restore then come back to now and restore again?

Hi
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.
I just did the latest upgrade to Snow Leopard that came out in the last week or so and my old Australian Tax Office software program called e-Record 6 no longer works.
I have Time Machine.
I have a really dumb question.
If I go back in time to before I did the upgrade - and do a restore - do I also lose all the work and emails etc etc that I have done between then and now?
I want to go back in time - to the old version of snow leopard so that my old software works again. While I am there I want to export all the data out of the program into a spreadsheet and print out all the records so I have them as a hard copy (so I an actually lodge a tax return) and then I want to just come straight back to now and keep going. I don't want to lose any of the work or emails I have worked on over the past week.
Once you restore a to a time past can you then restore to a later backup - say today?
I hope I am making sense.
I really just want to time travel briefly.
TIA

I'm not sure about the TM question; you can try reading Pondinin's TM FAQs to see if it gives a clue.
First, though, try the v1.1 update which is supposed to have fixed the issue with Rosetta created by the original version.
If that doesn't fix it, there are a number of threads with possible solutions - this one is typical;

I inadvertantly deleted the back/forward button and the dropdown box how do I get those back

I inadvertantly deleted the back and forward button at top left as well asthe dropdown box showing preferences How do I get those back? thankyou

Your description is unclear. Maybe this will help.
Back/forward buttons are on the Navigation Bar. Be sure the Navigation Bar is being displayed. On the Menu Bar, choose View > Toolbars, if there is no check mark next to Navigation Bar, click Navigation Bar to place a check mark.
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(Linux & OSX see: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M
''Windows'' Method 2. Press and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar.
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

Every time I quit safari I lose all my history and my Favorites.

When I quit Safari I lose my history and my favorites. I do not know how to change this so I'll always have my favorites and my history and they won't disappear.
It is really annoying because if I add something to my favorites I'll lose it next time. Please Help me.

What is your Mac OS version?

With multiple tabs open, and selecting a new (blank) tab, RoboForm open new web page in far left tab, not the new (blank) one. How to correct this?

Problem: Firefox Browser Tabs when using RoboForm
When using Tabs in the Firefox browser (with multiple Tabs already open), I (1) click to open a new (blank) tab and then, (2) click on RoboForm to go to a new website. Instead of the new website opening in the newly opened (blank) tab it opens in the first (far left) tab. This only began happening when I installed Firefox 5.0 and RoboForm Desktop v7.3.2 at the same time.
My system: HP Pavilion Media center, Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 8GB RAM, Firefox v5.0, Roboform Desktop v7.3.2

Thanks a lot. The culprit turned out to be Webmail Notifier. Unfortunately, there seems to be some problems on their end that the developer has not yet responded to, but something about the extension is screwing up tab functionality.
Thanks!

When you demand FF users update, at least have the honesty to add a relevant warning: "Upgrading from your present version of Firefox will lose all your history and it will probably drop some or all bookmarks and plug-ins need upgrading"

Last 4 times I've upgraded FF, I seem to lose more than I gain.... and today I reloaded version 4 only to discover the losses and frustrations remain. Anybody for Chr*m*?
