Tab groups don't reload/refresh when reopening firefox

When I reopen Firefox, my tab groups are there, but they stay on the same content as when I closed it - sometimes hours ago. Sites like CNN, or MSNBC change content many times an hour. I have to manually refresh all tabs before I see the latest news.

# Closing Tab Groups – Each tab group has a close button in the upper-right corner. Clicking it will close that group and all of its tabs.
* If you've closed a tab group by accident, you can click the Undo Close Group button to restore it before leaving the Panorama view.

  • Apps Tabs get don't reload after closing the firefox

    I just today tried to use apps tab. I set some links as apps tab and then closed the firefox. When i stared it again the apps tab were not there anymore. However according to this release the apps tab should be retained even after closing the firefox

    Go to about:config (enter it in the address bar), and find '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set it to '''true'''. This will make Firefox ask you each time if you want to save your session to restore the next time you open it, like in 3

  • Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoyi

    Downloading images used to go automatically to the last folder used to save images, even when reopening Firefox. In just the past few days, possibly coinciding wih the most recent updates, the folder defaults to the 'Downloads' folder. This is most annoying. What happened? Internet Explorer 8.0 did the same thing. This was one of the reasons why I started using Firefox to download all images. I went into Tools>Options and it only lets me set another folder. I dont want to set a specific folder I want it to always go to the last folder used. So what gives?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == possibly when the most recent updates were installed, a few days ago

    Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
    So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

  • App Tabs don't refresh when opening Firefox

    I have an app tab set for local weather and an app tab for Gmail. When I open Firefox 4.0, the both weather data and the Gmail page are from the last time I manually refreshed it. The main tabs refresh to current data every time you open Firefox, but not the app tabs. I have to open each one and manually refresh them to get current data.

    In order for the javascript modified content on a webpage to be refreshed on re-opening firefox (if you are either using the
    "Show my windows from last time" option, or you are using pinned app tabs) the webpage needs to refresh it's content on loading.
    For users with this problem: let the website developer know you have this problem.
    For web developers:
    You simply need to include an onLoad in your body:
    <body onload='refresh_AJAX()'>
    and write a javascript function "refresh_AJAX()", which updates all the relevant content.

  • How do I SAVE tab groups. They have disappeared when I next open Firefox

    I created 5 tab groups. it was great flicking between them but I closed my machine and when I opened again they had gone.
    How do I save them please or stop them disappearing
    Thanks

    Which boxes are currently ticked in Clear Recent History?
    *Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    Clear Recent History is not enabled by default, so if it is now then you or an extension did enable that.<br />
    If you want to keep using it then you only need to make sure that the "Browsing History" don't have a tick to prevent App Tabs from being removed (App Tabs are considered as history because you visit sites).

  • I had several tab groups, but the last time I opened Firefox they'd all disappeared, and been replaced with an advert - can I recover my tab groups somehow?

    I've set Firefox so it re-opens my old tabs every time I run the program, and also installed Tab Groups. Usually it opens all the tabs in all the groups with no problem, but this time they'd all disappeared and been replaced with a single advert. Is there a way to recover the old tab groups?

    It's likely that by the time there is an answer the data to allow recovery will be long gone, but this really make me angry. I have been operating with the same tabs for months now, and by using tab groups... poof, now all gone. I use tabs precisely because digging around to find all these pages is a time consuming task. some I don't use for a week or two, but when I needed them, there they were. '''BIG BLACK MARK''' awarded to Firefox on this one! My trust level of this software, which had been very high just went to below IE, which is really saying something.

  • With Internet Explorer you could save a Tab Group to Favourites; you could then reopen that entire group of tabs again a month or two later. How do I do this quickly with Firefox

    Recently installed Firefox 10.0.2

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

  • Tabs don't reload after firefox 4 is shut down

    When I restart Firefox 4, the tabs that I had opened don't reload. Nor does Firefox 4 ask me if I want to shut down and save the tabs, as the various versions of Firefox 3 had done.

    Go to about:config (enter it in the address bar), and find '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set it to '''true'''. This will make Firefox ask you each time if you want to save your session to restore the next time you open it, like in 3

  • Today my pinned apps, tab groups and history ALL disappeared, and my settings were changed to "Clear history when Firefox closes." How can this happen!?

    I've had several pinned apps, tab groups etc that always reappeared when I closed and opened Firefox. I always had history stored without a problem.
    Today I opened Firefox, and my pinned apps, tab groups, and history were all gone, and the option to Clear history when Firefox closed was checked. I did NOT do that. How could that happen? I definitely need to avoid this happening again!!
    Please help! Thanks!

    If you didn't do that yourself and nobody else has used the computer then an extension may have made that change.
    I see in your list that you have some Norton extensions (toolbars) installed that could cause it, but others may do this as well.

  • How to save Tab groups for later browsing

    Can tab groups be saved so that when I launch Firefox next time all previous tabs will be there ?

    Identical to others, I do not want to reload all tab groups on restart; however, I strongly desire the ability to save tab groups (beyond just naming & resuming from previous session). My use case is simple. I reboot, switching from Ubuntu to Windows and back multiple times per day on my laptop. I work on multiple projects and would like to associate tab groups with each one. Then I would like to click a button/link, (perhaps in the Ctrl-Shift-E -- Tab Group View) to restore a specific tab group for a project without having to load the 28 other pages which are relevant to other projects... Essentially, I want to bookmark a tabgroup. I would be willing to contribute coding time to this feature, but am unsure as to where to start.

  • Is there a way to see all your tabs (in all groups) at once while still keeping the tabs grouped?

    I like being able to have my tabs grouped in FF4, but sometimes when the groups are small I'd like to be able to just see all the tabs at once, with the ability to go back into panorama and switch to viewing only one group if need be. Is there a way to do this?

    Flat view (the Filter folder icon with the red stashed circle) has stopped working for me in Leopard. Works in Tiger.
    I'm on: OSX 10.5.5, Mac Pro, Bridge CS3 v.21.0.100

  • How do I get the Tab Group names to appear above the Tabs?

    At one point the names of all my Tab Groups appeared above the Tabs. That is, on every page there's a horizontal list of open Tabs. Above that there used to be a similar looking horizontal list of all Tab Groups. Now that horizontal list of Tab Groups is gone.
    This was useful for rearranging and re-categorizing Tabs into different Groups because I could see the whole page for any given Tab, and could move the Tab to a different Tab Group simply by clicking on the Tab and dragging to to any Group in the Tab Groups section above the Tabs section. This was usually easier than rearranging Tabs on the Tab Groups page (accessed by clicking the "Group your tabs" icon at the upper right of the display).
    I don't know how this feature got there or why it went away, but I liked it.
    How can I get this back?

    Tab groups were the primary reason I used Firefox (since the beginning).
    Now that they are gone, so am I !!!!!
    -- However ... good news! ... they are not gone, just a tiny bit more difficult to manage.
    You right click on the tab and select Move To Group. You then create new tab groups within the Tab Group interface. Once you've done that, the familiar Tab Group boxes icon appears in the upper right hand corner of each Group in full display.
    Having done it a few times, I can't even remember now what the original method was precisely. But all the functions are still there -- that's the important thing! And I'm still here on Firefox (at least until the next bone-headed crisis....)

  • Tab Groups stopped working after update, Reinstall didn't help

    Hi,
    I updated to Firefox 26 and all my open Tabs were closed (I had FF set to keep all Tabs open)
    Also Tab Groups don't work at all, pushing the button does nothing, same with ctrl+shift+E
    Now I tried reinstalling it and it didn't fix anything, Same with disabling all Add-Ons or trying it in safe mode.
    Any solutions?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • Not liking the Tab Group option. Would just like a second row of tabs.

    Previous suggestion was to use Tab Groups. (Oh and I did upgrade Firefox)
    After playing with the Tab Group option features, it's just not what I'm looking for, or something that would best suit my desires and needs.
    Would just like to create a second line of tabs after the first line exceeds the regular window size. Similar to just like adding a tool bar at the top of the page.
    Wouldn't think doing such a thing would be a big issue. I'm sure Tab Group windows works great for some, but just not for me.
    Wouldn't want to 'squeeze' each tab down so they will all fit across the window, like what happens in the lower taskbar as more and more windows are opened either. It would get to a point to where you couldn't read what the tabs are for.
    I think an option for a second line of tabs would be ideal when one needs to have more than 6 tabs opened.
    Does this option even exist in Firefox? If so, how can I set it up? If not, how does one suggest a feature like this to Firefox?

    You need an extension the get support for a multi-row tab bar.

  • With Firefox 5 and Panorama(Tab Groups), can I hibernate tab groups?

    I use the add-on TabGroups Manager and I like to hibernate tab groups to save memory. When a tab group is hibernated, I can bring it back even after I close Firefox and shutdown my computer. With the new Panorama(Tab Groups), is it also possible to hibernate tab groups so I can open them later?

    The other name of the "hibernation" functionality is "unload tab". It used to be implemented by [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bartab BarTab extension] that worked for Firefox-3.6. People report that beta works for FF4&5.
