Stop all tabs from loading on startup

I have the "Don't load tabs until selected" selected but all tabs still load. This greatly increases the memory footprint and decreases performance. I have two plugins; Firebug, and Web Development.
I've even tried going into about: configuration and setting some to false where it made sense - no change.
How do I force it NOT to load all tabs on start up - only the active tab?
Thanks.

I had this as well. May apply if you use '''TabMixPlus'''
My problem was that I use TabMix Plus, and in '''FireFox/Tools/TabMix Plus Options/Session''', I had unchecked "''Use Firefox's Built-In Session Restore Feature''".
Once I checked this box, to use Firefox Session Restore, the correct operation of refreshing just the 'Top' tab occurs.
In Short; Tick the box:
'''Use Firefox's Built-In Session Restore Feature''' in TabMix Plus Options/Session
Bon Chance!

How do I stop ALL tabs from going dim when Firefox is not the active WINDOW?

I think I have read every single post about changing active tab colors, etc, etc. However, where I am frustrated seems to be a little different.
When Firefox 31 is not the active WINDOW the whole tab bar goes grey (just like the title bar) and the only tab I can read the title of is the active tab. I need to be able to see ALL tab names.
I don't want to use any add-ons. I just want a simple userChrome.css or about:config option. I have other UI complaints, but this is the only one I care enough about to do anything about. It is making me less efficient, confused, and frustrated.
Can anyone please help?

That's good to hear. Good work. Please go to your last post and
flag it as '''Solved the problem''' so others will know what to do.
Also, if you want help for the other issues you spoke of,
Just ask. Good day.

"View All RSS Articles" Sometimes Stops All Pages from Loading

Hi!
I'd like some help with this:
Sometimes, when I view a whole lot of RSS articles in one tab, the content stops loading after one hundred or so articles have come in. After this, no pages will load -- not even a local html file in my home directory.
These message appears in the console:
2007-01-17 13:10:37.996 Safari[6634] * -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
(event handler):Null value
Memory and CPU don't seem unusually high. I can still close tabs, export bookmarks and do other things with the menus. I just can't load a new page.
Quitting and re-starting Safari is the only way I have found around this problem.
Scott

Wow... thanks for trying out those feeds that I suspected. It's a wierd problem, because it does not occur consistently.
I reproduced the error by viewing all RSS articles in my news feeds bookmarks folder, and I used "Start Profiling with Sample" on the Debug menu to create a .sample file, and I stopped profiling when the error recurred a few seconds later.
This produced a ten-thousand-line-long file that may contain useful information.
Here's the console log section:
2007-01-20 16:42:11.587 Safari[227] starting sample tool
2007-01-20 16:42:39.834 Safari[227] * -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
2007-01-20 16:42:44.918 Safari[227] sample tool output written to /tmp/SafariSample-2007-01-20-164211.sample
The file is at
http://homepage.mac.com/eyesquash/tmp/SafariSample-2007-01-20-164211.sample
I also have excerpted my news feeds bookmarks folder, so if you like, you can try importing it into Safari and loading all of it at once (a bit over 1,000 articles). It's here:
http://homepage.mac.com/eyesquash/tmp/news%20feeds.html
I will try this from another account of my machine. I'll also try it from another account with Safari running in its messed-up state on my main account.
You know, this would not bother me much at all if it weren't such a nice feature when it works. Most Apple things are like that for me: great when they work, and they usually work.

How do I keep multiple tabs from loading all at once when I open Firefox?

How do I prevent multiple tabs from loading every time I access Firefox? These are open tabs, but I do not want them to open simultaneously every time I want to open a new tab. Then I have to minimize each one in order to access other applications on my desktop. Please advise.

Tools > Options -> General - Startup = select what you want Firefox to do on startup there
'''Blank Page''' or '''Homepage''' ''(as long as those pages aren't all your Homepages)'' are alternatives to '''''windows and tabs from last time'''''
Or as Vivek.Wilfred mentioned, upgrade to Firefox 8.0.1 where you have abother option - Don't load tabs until selected.

How do you stop top sites from loading in safari

I have tried for days to stop "Top Sites" from loading in Safari 7.0
In my ~Library I have locked the:
Safari db
metadata db
etc.
There is no way I can find to stop these crap top sites from loading!!!!!!!!!:(
Anyone found a way to fix this?

Never mind, I found out how to do it. However, you can't get rid of all the sites because in Safari 7.0, in the Preferences>General Tab, you can only change Top Sites to a minimum of six. So, you can't entirely get rid of them.

How do you stop game center from loading, How do you stop game center from loading

iPhone 4 _ iOS7
I have never used Game Center. However, most times when I open a solitaire game that I purchased on iTunes having 0 to do with Game Center, Game Center (obnoxiously) loads and asks that I join or login or whatever. Altough I hit cancel, that is not sufficient. I have found no means in Tools to disable Game Center.
Is there no way to stop Game Center from loading??? (behavior same in both OS 6 & 7)

The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

How to stop a page from loading?

Does anyone know if there's a way to stop a webpage from loading (i.e. before it finishes)..? This page, for example:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/gameflash/2011/06/04/36460_recap.h tml
When I click on the "X" (or type Cmd+period) i want to cease ALL communication with whatever website is in the address bar. I don't want periodic updates, i dont' want animated ads to finish loading, i don't want my screen rearranged.... nothing. I WANT TO TERMINATE ALL CONTACT WITH THAT WEBSITE until such time that i might click on "reload". And i should be able to do this without having to yank out my ethernet cable.
This may be a more general problem that applies to Firefox as well.

Huh, i didn't realize the escape key did something different than Cmd+period. It seems to work but i'll have to try it with some of the peskier websites.... Thanks.

Stop Verizon Cloud from loading automatically

How do I stop Verizon Cloud from loading automatically whenever I turn on my desktop computer? I seldom need to use it and I don't need it hogging memory, as my computer is old and slow enough as it is. The program itself does not seem to have an option to prevent automatic loading, nor do I see it listed in msconfig when I run that. BTW, I have a Dell PC running Windows Vista.
I don't want to flat-out delete the program, as I do use it occasionally; I just don't want it loading every day.
Thanks!

I don't think there is a built-in option to restore a session but not load the last active tab in each window...
What if you switch Firefox to "Work Offline" before restoring the session? On the classic menu bar:
File menu > Work Offline
To display the classic menu bar temporarily if you ordinarily use the compact menu (orange Firefox button), you can tap the Alt key or press F10.
Of course, even if that works, it doesn't help with closing a tab and getting the deferred load of the next tab you view. Hmmm. Maybe there's an add-on for this.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [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]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing 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.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history?

Hi,
How to open "All Tabs" from previously shown pages history. I am not asking about "Reopen from last session". I am asking about how to open all tabs from previous webpage links from a past date from history, currently its allowing me to select each page link manually by clicking it.
Thank you!

Select the first item you wish to open, scroll down to the last, Shift-click that one & all those between should be selected too. Double-click on them & they should all start to open... or you can copy & then drag/paste into a new or existing bookmarks folder.

Is there any add on which i can reload all tabs from offline mode to online immediately without press the resend button in each tab?

Hello to everyone!
I want to ask if there is any add on to firefox which I can reload all tabs from offline mode to online mode immediately without press the resend button for each tab all the time.

is it illegal to record a conversation without the other caller knowing?
That depends on where you are... In the state of New Jersey, where I live, I believe that it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party to that conversation knows that it is being recorded, and there is no legal duty to inform the other party that the conversation is being recorded.
This means that I could legally record all conversations I have with other people within the state of NJ, and likewise anybody whom I call or who calls me can record out conversations. However, it would be illegal for a third party to record out conversation without our knowledge and consent.
Now the situation becomes more complex if I call somebody, or somebody calls me, across state lines... I've not made a study of the laws in every state, but I would not be surprised if there are states where both parties must give consent for the conversation to be recorded. This is probably the reason for the announcement "your call may be monitored and recorded for quality purposes" at the beginning of every call to customer support...
Wikipedia has a useful introductory article, and a quick Google search turns up much more information.

How do I stop extra tabs from open on start up?

How do I stop extra tabs from open on start up? When I save new tabs the next time I open I have the new saved tabs. On the next opening after that are the same 7 tabs I don't want and didn't save. edit

Make sure that the pages aren't set as multiple home page, see
* [[How to set the home page]] - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
See also:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
If you use [[Clear Recent History]] 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.

Stopping Genius Data from loading

I don't view Genius lists so how do I stop the data from loading?

Good Morning Vietnam!
OK soldier, give me 20 (push-ups) & read the following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12142
Do you have a problem with that?
Well, I do... it's dated Nov. 5, 2013. iTunes was updated to 11.2.2 after that date wasn't it? Like in June, 2014, correct? Fuhgeddaboutit!
So I marked it as not being helpful - whatever.
ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? Fasten your safety harness, cause we have some real exciting, mundane stuff comin' right at cha next.
Next I need to know if you are the only user with Admin privs for the iTunes Account; iTunes can be finicky when there several users and more than one and only one has Admin privs. You can share media but if someone whose name we won't mention thinks that they can be an Admin too, you'll have to straighten that out behind closed doors. I know, I know... this is probably is not the case. This is just boilerplate stuff we have to get out of the way... just because.
Next we have the 'safe boot' approach. That's when you shut down completely and then start the machine up while holding down the shift key until you finally get to Safe Mode (it takes longer to start up doing this because the system is clearing certain caches & making sure some other things are ok). But once you get there, it usually indicates that (in red letters) right on your sign-in screen.
So after you sign in, you simply try to open iTunes. No wait! LOL! There is no sound in Safe Mode but what we are doing by starting up iTunes - in addition to the aforementioned, is trying to rule-out any conflicts with any 3rd part software that may be interfering with iTunes.But the good news is that if iTunes starts which it probably will - albeit w/ no sound, then at least you know what the problem isn't.
FYI, that's how a differential diagnosis is done. Just ask this guy:
Go ahead say it... "Murph... cut to the chase will ya?!
To be honest, if none of this helps, you're best bet is checking out the iTunes threads... especially if Chris CA is around cause he's the top gun (for iTunes) & pose the question via a new thread like, "Why won't Genius go away?" He solves problems like this - bada bing bada boom.
Catch ya later, curly; thanks for the thank yous.
