Solution: Saving All The Tabs And Reloading Them Anywhere (From Archived Thread)

Hi,
My problem "was" that I was working on Firefox at my home and at my office. As computers are fast these days, I am in habit of opening large number of tabs in firefox. And I always wanted to open the same tabs at my office which I was opening at my home and vice versa. I further wanted to clean the browsing history after leaving the computer at my work as well as home.
While searching through the forums, I reached to this thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/960096
And to my satisfaction, the exact answer was not there.
Anyways, doing a little more search, I found why I will never stop loving Firefox and its because of its wonderful "addons".
So here I re-write the problem,
'''I want to save the addresses of different tabs opened in my Firefox and save them to a file that can be re-opened by Firefox on the same computer or on a different computer with the option to clean the browser history after leaving the computer.'''
Solution: "Session Manager Addon" of firefox.
Steps to the solution:
1. Download and install a firefox addon called "session manager".
URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/
2. After installing this addon, go to Firefox -> Sesion Manager -> Session Manager -> Session Manager Options. (or to Tools -> Session Manager -> Session Manager -> Session Manager Options)
Go to "Advanced" tab.
Now change the default location for saving the session. Say you name it to your desktop.
Now, you have "Session Manager" addon installed, the default location of saving the session file is known to you (say your desktop).
3. Now go to, "Firefox -> Session Manager -> Session Manager -> Save Session" and give your session a name under the option "Save the current session as". (or to "Tools -> Session Manager -> Session Manager -> Save Session")
4. Suppose you give your session a name called "New Session". In your default location of saving the session (say your desktop), you will get a file named "New Session.session"
5. Now this file is the key. It's a small file and you can simply email it to yourself or carry it to your work with you.
6. Just place this file at same location on the different computer and repeat Steps 1 and 2.
7. Now Session Manager is installed and configured on the other computer and the file has been copied to the desktop of this other computer.
8. Go to Firefox -> Session Manager -> Session Manager -> Load Session (or to Tools -> Session Manager -> Session Manager -> Load Session) and the saved session will be loaded to the different computer by Firefox.
Now, how this addon can help someone?
1. It is extremely useful for people like me who are addicted to opening many many tabs at once and want to resume working from the same set of tabs whether they are at home, office or some other place.
2. Suppose, you are surfing some personal sites that you do not want other people to know and you can't bookmark those sites. You are on a different computer, say at your office and want to clean the browsing history too.
The best option in such cases is to save the session completely and re-load it on a different computer.
I personally found "Session Manager" addon better than "copy urls expert".
'''The only improvement I would like to see is that Firefox itself should allow multiple tabs to saved to a file that can be opened by Firefox just like we open a saved HTML page.'''
And thanks to '''Michael Kraft''' for creating this wonderful addon... Really liked and I hope my post help others.
thanks

  • Often when Firefox is closed and reopened ALL the tabs and tab groups are missising. FIX!!!!

    For reasons that are unclear to me I sometimes close Firefox and later re-open it. In some cases ALL the tabs and tab groups are gone. Today it opened in MSN.com and ALL tabs were gone. I put a lot of pages on these and have NO WAY to find them all again. If this continues and you cannot give me a way to recall them I simply will have to go to another browser. It always happens when I need them most and don't have time to even track down one. It completely upsets my day, week, month whatever!!!.
    Is there a way to get them back? Someone asked a similar question and was never given a useful answer.

    I've begun having this problem as well. Reviewing the above, I seen no errors that I' making. A few weeks ago, without being aware of an update to Firefox, it began behaving differently than it has for years. I've always had it set to open to an empty tab, now it often opens to the 'Firefox Home Page' (which I've never used)... this despite resetting my opening page to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" (upon troubleshooting the 'home page issue' I found that the opening page had reset to FF Home somehow. I store a lot of pages in tab groups and having them disappear is a major bummer since they're news articles I'm waiting to copy.
    Also... I run CCleaner weekly and I know that will erase the group tabs I've stored so before running it I have to store those URL's another way. Does anyone know what I can uncheck in CCleaner to keep those tabs?
    Thanks.

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Illustrator's font is different for some reason and hard to read, I need to change it so i can read all the tabs and file names. Like file, edit, options, type, select, effects..... swatches, layers.. every tab is in a different font that is hard to read

    Illustrator's tabs are all in a different font that I can read.
    I need to know how to change it so I can get back to a steady workflow.
    For example..
    File, edit, options, type, select,  effects, view, windows, help..... pathfinder, layers, swatches, stroke, and the file name (all the tabs)
    are all in a different font, I don't know how it got changed but now it is different.
    This is a shared computer so someone might have changes it on accident but I'm not sure.

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • Can I save all open windows, and reload them later?

    Hi,
    I work on different projects using different applications.
    Say I am working on recording, and editing an audio. I have Quicktime open, finder(showing files) and GarageBand. Is there anyway I can save the current open windows, so at a later date I can just resume where I left off, rather then having to reopen the finder window, and the applications. It's almost liek I want a snapshot of what's open.
    Is there a 3rd party program that does this?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer, but I would really like to close the apps. I may not return to the project for weeks. That's why I would love if a program could save the current open apps, so when I return to my project. I run this program and boom all of my Finders, and applications are restored the way I left them. It saves me time.

  • How do I stop all the tab and pop-up adds?

    Every time I click on something on the main tab, another one open with some type of add. Also, I want to stop all the pop-up adds. If this can't be done I will be uninstalling Firefox.

    You also can check for an add-on causing this problem.
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs. Unless you know you can't live without it for 24 hours, disable it.
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If you see a link above an extension to restart Firefox, you can wait until you are done with your changes and then click that as the last step.

  • A bunch of tabs opened in Firefox, it froze so I closed it and now when I try to open Firefox it is trying to open all the tabs and it freezes. What can I do?

    The entire program becomes unresponsive and I cannot get into any of the tabs. It will not allow me to close any of the tabs either.

  • How to delete all the events and create new events from scratch?

    I have all my photos separated into albums and I would like these albums to be considered events in iPhoto. The problem is that there are already lots of events in my iPhoto library that are not "real" events. It just so happens they were uploaded at a certain time and during one of my upgrades of iPhoto all these different uploads became different events. Of course, there are some albums I would like to become a single event as well...but I am not sure how to strip all of my photos of events and then add the photos to new events?

    Select all the pics in an Album and Flag them.
    Then go Events Menu -> Create Event from Flagged Photos
    A new Event is created that moves the pics from their existing Event
    Unflag the Photos then move to the next album. Repeat.

  • - Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username. This pops up in a balloon every time I open Firefox 5. I have checked ALL the tabs and don't see any way to change.

    Hi timc,
    Thank you for answering my question. After taking the screen shot I started thinking "maybe it's one of the add-ons that I downloaded!!!" So I turned off the "Yahoo! Notifier" add-on, and sure enough "poof-it never appeared again"... Thanks for being the guy to get me out of myself and start thinking backwards...(And I really don't need that add-on anyway, just seemed cool that's all)... Thanks again timc...!!!

  • Firefox displays "Stopped" in the status bar; stops all the tabs and does not do anything!

    Firefox displays "Stopped" in the status bar after running for a few minutes. It does not do anything on the page unless it is killed by opening the task manager. Sometimes I even have to restart the computer. And if that also doesn't work that shut down using the power button. Others have reported similar issues too.

  • Firefox closes all the tabs on its own unexpectedly and we have to start everything afresh.why does this happen?

    our browser closes on its own unexpectedly, all the tabs and everything closes down (esp when playing games in facebook), we have to start everything afresh, just worried if this is not a sign of crash because we haven't received any crash report and if so how can we prevent any further damage.

  • Reset all settings. how to recover all the bookmarks and add?

    Please, help.
    At one point, without my knowledge, reset all settings. How to restore all the tabs and add? It is very important to me! How could this happen and why? I did not do anything.

    If you have you have reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    If you otherwise created a new profile then check if there are still other profiles present
    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder and go back one level to go to the Firefox/Profiles/ folder.

  • I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

    Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

  • How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from cube to multi provider

    How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from the basic cube to multi provider?
    i created this multiprovider to do the maintenence on the basic cube. for example the infocube physical partition, line item dimension and compression.
    what we decided to do is move all the Standard and ad-hoc reports from the basic cube to the multiprovider. How to do it? and make a copy of the basic cube and do the maintenence on the cube. please help.
    Thanks in advance sdn experts!

    Hi Les,
    This sounds good and one thing we try to always keep in mind when undertaking such activities is to always minimise the impact to the user and make the process as transparent to them as possible. So lets say you have your multiprovider and copied queries up in Prod, these queries will still pick up the data from the base cube.
    Now you need to make a copy of the base cube for some changes to the cube model, I would suggest that you copy the cube and make your changes on the copied cube itself. Then 9depending on the changes done) you can load data from Original Cube to New Cube. When this is being done, make sure that you change your queries to add a restriction on 0INFORPOV by Original Cube.
    After the load to the new cube is complete you can run reports restricted to each cube to verify the numbers. Then change the 0INFOPROV restriction in the queries to point to the New Cube and disengage the old cube from the multiprovider.
    Hope this helps...

  • How come the latest version of firefox (4.0) lost the feature of saving the bookmarks whenever I exit the browser? Now the only option is actually closing all the bookmarks and manually opening them again.

    With previous versions of Firefox, I was always asked this question whenever I exit the web browser and turning my laptop off: Do you want to save your bookmarks?... At least that was the message of the question. Right now, my only option is actually closing all the bookmarks and manually opening each one of them or starting from a saved bookmark list.
    Thanks!

    One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but 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'''
