Saving tabs in firefox 4

Dear Firefox Technicians;
I upgraded to Firefox 4 and when I closed the program, there is no prompt to save the current tabs. In fact, I lost a number of projects that I was searching on this situational change. Is there a way that Firefox 4 could have a preference addition to ask to save my tabs? This hampered my projects and now. I only use this feature on my home computer since I can work on it without anyone gathering the ideas of the search.
I have downgraded to 3.6.17 to work with feature. I wish to join the community of Firefox 4 again soon when this feature has returned.
Thank you
Leo Markfort

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
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'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# 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 "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Why firefox loses my saved tabs when it starts?

My problem is pretty simple, it doesn't give me my saved tabs. I just get a blank tab. This happens a lot, maybe 5 times in the last 10 times I started firefox. An unbelievable problem that made me hate firefox and don't want to use it ever!
I don't know why I still insist on using firefox, I should've turned to use chrome or IE9.

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.

After crashing, Firefox is not re-openeing saved tabs from my last session, but is re-opening tabs from a session over a month old. How do I find my saved tabs?

This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
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.

Firefox does ask about saving tabs/windows on exit but recently stopped saving them. When I start my computer the next time and click on "Restore Previous Session" it's not doing so. What can I do to correct this?

See above question

Had this trouble myself, just did some research and solved it!
Go to the '''Help''' menu, go to "'''Troubleshooting Information'''"
On the new window, click "'''Open Containing folder'''" next to ''Profile Directory'' (This opens the folder on your PC where Mozilla stores some settings, like a tab history)
In the new Windows Explorer window, Find the file "'''chromeappsstore.sqlite'''"
You'll want to close Firefox and then '''delete''' that file (don't worry, Firefox will create a new one, and you won't even lose the open tabs)
Start Firefox again and the button should work!
(For completeness's sake, the profile folder for windows7 is: C:\Users\Tiberion\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\c6xu23fh.default\
where you replace Tiberion with your own username, and the random characters in the final folder will be different.)

Problem with saved tabs and downloads

Hello.
After updating to version 32.0. i have a few problems.
First, after opening Firefox some of my saved tabs became new tabs. I`m using Super Start, maybe its his problems, but it doesn`t look like that. Previously it worked fine.
Second, i can`t download gifs. They just stay at 99% with 0 byte per second. Only after reopening Firefox download ends.
How to solve this?

This time 9 new tabs. WTF?!

I have lost the tabs on the top where bookmarks are, and all my saved tabs. The screen is very big and the icons on the bottom are gone as well.

I noticed the tab on top where it says file edit bookmarks etc was missing. There was a Firefox with a down facing arrow and I clicked on it to see if I could find my bookmark tabs. I don't know what I pushed but the 2 other saved tabs under the first one went away. also the icons on the bottom of the screen also went away. I am very computer illiterate and don't know what I did or if I can even get it back.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

RE: Tab Groups.
1. What will erase saved tab groups unintentionally? E.g. : Clearing Cache, running CCleaner, other actions?
2. Does keeping a large number of tab groups active degrade my computer's performance?
3. Are tab groups saved during back-ups?
Running Win 7 Pro, browsing Firefox 7.0.1

App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox profile folder.
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

Saving tabs and quitting isn't working

under the tabs setting in options there is no option to turn saving tabs on and off. i started firefox in safe mode to see if any of my extensions/addons had anything to do with it. i also tried renaming the two files for tab saving suggested by troubleshooting. none of the above suggestions from troubleshooting work.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
 
Another possibility is to use:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

My saved tabs have been deleted

hello.i saved about 200 tabs. but suddenly they've been deleted. and i can't restore them. please help me my saved tabs were so important and i need them.

You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

This probably still works in Windows 8.

Can't delete tabs from Firefox on my iPhone

How can I delete tabs from Firefox on my iPhone? I'm using Firefox Sync and the number of tabs keep getting bigger. I'm up to 48.
PS: I've tried the iPhone forum but no one replies. It's looking like there is no support for Sync??????

Good morning,
Sorry, ContactsTap does not solve the problem. It doesn't know about the "All on my iPhone" Group. Inside the app the contacts show as uncategorized.
The problem is that if a contact is saved as "All on my iPhone" how can I move it to another of the native iPhone groups so that it syncs with the other group source.
It is possible to link the contact with other contacts on other groups but I cannot move it to another group. It seems you have to retype the contacts.
Someone forgot to include this feature. May be next iOs update?
Best regards

Why did "Well, this is embarrassing" window open when no saved tabs?

No saved tabs when I closed yesterday, opened today:
"Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. ..." window appeared but only "Window 1" & "about:blank" (my preferred opening) on the list.
-- i.e. there were no tabs to recover.
Why? Is there a problem?

I am using a MacBook Pro and when I open a new tab in Firefox it opens to Trovi. Mozilla has a forum but solutions are all for the PC/Windows. How do I remove it?

I am using a OSX MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.4 and using Firefox 30.0. My Mac has recently been hijacked by a program called "Trovi". Whenever I open a blank new tab in Firefox the tab opens it opens with Trovi. The Mozilla forums offer support but all solutions are for users who run Windows. How do I remove Trovi from my Mac? Please help.

Hey there! I answered this in another post a moment ago, this may be extremely helpful...I had the same problem until very recently with Trovi.

Best of luck!

How do I open additional tabs in Firefox Home? I can see the tabs screen but it's blank and I can't find a way of opening a page in a new tab. Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1.

How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.

That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

Why can I no longer open more than one tab in Firefox? Has Firefox been saboutaged by an update by Microsoft?

I have been using Firefox for over 2 years and like the (unreliable) Windows Explorer before it I took for granted the ability to open multiple tabs. 2 days ago my computer downloaded some updates (even though I try to stop it) and after the compulsary restart I cannot open more than one tab in Firefox, even though the browser apparently invites me to. Is this an attempt by Microsoft to saboutage Firefox to build up support for its own product?

Not Microsoft, it is the Ask toolbar. Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

Opening a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar but then moves to the search field

When I open a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar for a second or so then the focus moves to the search input field. If I start typing something the first character fills in the address bar then the rest is typed into the search field.
How do I get the focus to remain in the address bar as per previous versions please?
MacBook Pro OS X 10.8.2
Firefox 16.0.1
Thanks.
