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.

  • Since I updated to FireFox 9 all the link icons have disappeared

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

    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.

  • On Mac OS X snow leopard, when I quit firefox 4, all the app tabs I set up get deleted. Is that suppose to happen? on your website it says that when you close firefox and reload the browser the app tabs should be there on start up?

    When I close the firefox browser but I do not quit the program entirely, the app tabs remain as I had originally set them up.
    But when I fully quit firefox. All the app tabs I set up are gone and I have to set them up all over again every time.

    Here's what happened in safe boot mode.
    I click on apple logo > software update > see's that Super Drive 3.0 is checked > click install
    I wait for the install to go through.
    First pop up says " There was a problem installing this update" Quit all apps before installing bla bla bla... I noticed a sound when this pop up appeared. It's the sound of when you restart the macbok. There is another popup behind this saying that software update has been sucessfully installed.
    So what I did first was click "quit" on the popup saying "There was a problem installing this update".
    then I clicked "ok" where it said that the software installation update was successfully installed.
    I get another pop up which is the Software Update window. I let it look for any updates and it then says that my software is up to date. I noticed that Super Drive 3.0 is listed and cannot be checked [x]. There's a Check mark with a green circle around it.
    I quit the software update window and click on apple logo > software update and let it do its thing. Next thing you know, It says that Super Drive 3.0 needs to be updated. I also checked the SERIAL ATA and still shows rev. CP06.
    I just recently installed this mac os X so there is no "important" data on this laptop. I don't have any money for OS Lion or Mavrick nor meet the system req to run it. 2gb to 4gb is expensive for a ddr2 800 200 pin ram

  • HT202879 Since opening an existing Pages doc, all the previously centred images and tables are now too far to the rights - leaving a large blank space to the left of each page. Any ideas reducing?

    Since opening an existing Pages doc, all the previously centred images and tables are now too far to the rights - leaving a large blank space to the left of each page. Any ideas re fixing this?  Problem remains even when I open an earlier version on the previous version of Pages

    It has always been that the upgrade tries to be the "master" over the older version.
    Anyway in Pages 09 you have probably the Comments field showing, making all contetn to move to the right.
    Go to View menu > Hide Comments.

  • Every time I open, all my previous tabs come up. I can not stop this and the place to check doesn't allow it. How do I stop them, it is annoying.

    I start a session and all the previous tabs come up, like I want to restore, but I don't want to restore. I tried deleting history, etc--didn't work- they still came up-tried the setting in tools-options nothing changed

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • I just did an update to 6.0 on Lion. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button  it re-opens to my home page, not all my previous tabs..  prior to the update it would re-open with all my previous tabs, which is what I want.

    I just did an update to Lion  10.7.4 with Safari  6.0. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button,  it re-opens to just my home page, not to all my previous tabs as it did before the update.  I prefer having my old tabs re-open.  How can I fix this?

    I've had what I think is the same problem since the most recent software update.  I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0.  The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions.  I don't like that as well, but I can live with it.  However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out.  So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button.  Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close.  The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything.  I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info.  Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem.  I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this.  I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

  • Since upgrading to v4, firefox reopens all tabs that were open when it was closed.

    Firefox 3 always opened with just my seach home page, even if several tabs were open when I closed the browser. Now since upgrading it remembers all my open tabs and reopens them when firefox loads. I've checked my settings and it is set to "Show my homepage". I have even changed the setting, closed the browser and set it back, but it still keeps opening all the old tabs.
    How can i stop this, it is driving me insane. :)

    This can happen if Firefox didn't close properly the previous time.
    Does this still happen with browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes set to 0 as that should bring up the about:sessionrestore page to choose which tabs and windows to restore?
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How do I save or restore all of my tab groups (preferably 1 operation)?

    I would like to save all of my tab groups, both for backup purposes but also for migration to another computer. How can I do this as a single operation?
    The same consideration would apply to restoring all the tab groups from a previously saved session.
    Eric

  • Since Yosemite upgrade I have lost all my previous gmail email. All settings seem to be as was so am at a loss, anyone any ideas. Thanks.

    I installed Yosemite a few days ago and just found that all my previous emails on gmail are gone. Have no idea why and looking at all my settings all is as was. My other accounts are good.
    Anyone any ideas.
    Thank you to those who respond.

    Further to the above I did delete all the content of the "Archive File" in mail after the Yosemite upgrade due to a lot of rubbish being in there that should not have been so decided to begin anew. I now wonder whether all my past gmail items were in there as well. If so how can I retrieve it via Time Machine.

  • 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.

  • How can I restore all my previous add-ons and settings I had prior to your latest upgrade?

    There was a recent update to TB and as usual I just approved the update and went about my business. today I go back to my TB and the font sizes everywhere are changed, I increased the size in options for the screen such as this message is being entered, I cannot tell you the size of all text outside if this window as they are all CHOSE such as File-Edit-View etc. none of the menu items will change the size and all of the tools I had are gone. After noticing those tools gone I found all my add-ons are also gone. I did read an answer about doing daily builds but 1. I don’t know what daily builds are and 2. While I do a back up of everything on my computer using Acronis software to save in my personal 20 terabyte cloud I am not sure if I would guess which directories and subdirectories for TB I should use. If there is not a solution please let me know and if there is a solution please answer in normal user understandable words. Thank you for any help you might be.

    hello Michells, this will likely be caused by the user.js file in your profile folder.
    go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information'', click on ''profile folder/show folder'' and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''user.js''' and restart the browser afterwards.

  • The new Firefox opens all the old tabs it closed with, when it starts. I'd rather just start a new session. How can I make that the default setting?

    The new Firefox re-opens all the tabs it closed with; and, I'd rather just start a new session, as the default setting. How can I do this? It would make it easier on me, the machine, and the Internet feed, not to reload automatically a bunch of tabs that were just closed. There must be someway to fix this. This happens on my brother's Windows computer, as well; and, it's running Firefox 4. Thanks for your help.

    Make that "Firefox ->Preferences -> General -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is not selected as this is not the default.
    Basically this setting will make Firefox start with whatever windows and tabs that were last open when a user closes Firefox by way of File ->Quit/Exit as if Firefox was never closed.

  • How do I open the browser to my homepage instead of all the previous tabs after telling firefox to automatically save the tabs that were open when I closed the browser?

    After telling my browser to 'not ask this question again' when it asked my if I wanted to save all the tabs before closing firefox, I now just want firefox to open to my homepage when I open it. Can you tell me how to change the settings to undo my previous command?

    Look here:
