The new tab group feature loses its user settings (groups) regularly

Th new tabgroup feature is very useful. However quite regularly the groups being set up before and given its proper group name by me all disappear after closing and later re-opening of FF4.
Maybe a related issue: if I define a group of tabs as the homepage under FF options, activating the home page button brings up ALL tabs present over all the tab groups. If the home page is defined as a single site (ic Netvibes) this problem does not appear.

thanks for that, the "reset preferences" option returned it to displaying recent windows on a new tab, which is close enough!

  • The Calendar tab no longer shows in users and groups screen

    To add a user to a node, I used to be able to click on the Calendar tab after
    adding a new user to the Directory. After upgrading to Calendar 3.5, it no
    longer shows up!
    <P>
    In the file suitespot_server_root/admin-serv/config/dsgw.conf make sure that the
    following line is added at the end:
    include suitespot_server_root/admin-serv/config/dsgw-calendar.conf
    <P>
    You will have to stop/start your admin server after making any changes.

    Have you tried opening Calendar to see if it updates?

  • Disable New Tab Window Feature

    I do not like nor want to use the New-Tab Window feature.
    How can I *permanently* disable this feature?

    What is the Startup setting?

    Is that "Show my windows and tabs from last time" or one of the others?
    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    You can also check the settings for "Clear history when Firefox closes" in case this feature is enabled and if enabled then disable this as a test (i.e. remove the checkmark).
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
    Make sure that the disk cache is enabled and working because the thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the disk cache. You can check the on the about:cache page (there should be disk cache section).

  • I am using Firefox 3.6 on my PC , and now, when I select File New Tab (Ctrl+T), no new Tab shows up. Nor does it show up when I click the new Tab symbol next to my other tabs. How can I get the New Tab feature to work again?

    In the past 48 hrs, all of a sudden, the New Tab feature on my PC< using Firefox 3.56, simply stopped working. I did not change settings, or download a new version of Firefox. it just stopped working. There are other scenarios where it does still work (for example, if I want to open a link on a web page, I can right click and open the link in a new tab), but if I simply want to have multiple websites open at once on my PC, I am forced to have multiple versions of Firefox open, as my New Tab option seems to be disabled or something. Can you help?

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • How do I activate the new tab feature that shows a dozen favorite web pages? It works for a brief spell when a fresh FF is installed, then it stops working.

    What I get on a new tab is a header that says: "You've opened a new tab" and a search box. But I prefer the FF feature that shows my favorite web pages when I open a new tab, but it seems precarious and a bit unstable. If I could easily restore the feature, I'd be happy enough. The Help information on this feature says to click on a button to add a web page, but I don't see that button on my FF 16. Also the Help page refers to "pinning" a web page onto the new tab page using a pin icon, but I don't have that icon either.

    What is the value of the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you are not able to keep changes permanently (e.g. they revert after restarting Firefox) then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

    plz say the way to set the speed dials which i set in home page whenever i open the new tab instead of blank page

    Make sure the new tab feature is enabled:
    * On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
    * Set '''browser.newtabpage.enabled''' to '''true'''
    To set the homepage to show the new tab page:
    * Go to Firefox Menu > Preferences > General
    * Set '''When Firefox starts''' to '''Show my Home page'''
    * Set '''Home Page''' to '''about:newtab'''
    So that a new tab opens the new tab page
    * On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
    * Set '''browser.newtab.url''' to '''about:newtab'''

  • In FF 7.0.1, the New Tab button on the Tab Strip disappeared after clicking the Tab Group icon and trying to return, so I'm looking for advice on how to get the New Tab to reappear on the Tab Strip.

    In Windows Vista, FF 7.0.1, I selected the Tab Group button to try it out. However, when I selected the Tab Group button again to close that view, the New Tab button in the Tab Strip no longer appears. I'm requesting help to restore the New Tab button (has the "+" sign on it) on the Tab Strip just to the right of the currently open tabs.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

  • Firefox 6.0 apears to have crashed, all my tabs and the new tab groups too are lost, Why?

    When opening Firefox this time-today, shortly after (a few days ago) updating to the Firefox 6.0 update and setting up the new Tab Groups, now none of my Tabs or Tab groups are showing/available (I checked the Tab Groups area also).
    What the heck happened and how can I get them all back?

    I'm sorry, but this did not help solve my issue with Firefox 6.0, as I already had my Firefox configured for restore (utilizing all of the methods suggested, because of many issues over the years and revs.); the History will not allow a restore of all tabs from the time before the loss; the "This is Embarrassing" screen did not come up this time, but it has numerous times prior to the rev 6.0 update. This time everything was just lost completely.

  • The "new tab" feature has become inoperative, reinstalling no help.

    Using the new 7, suddenly and for no reason the "new tab" spot does not provide a new tab. This has just come up today though I have been using this for a couple of months with no problem.

    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.

  • Just today, I cannot open a new tab - by clicking on the new tab button, or pressing CTRL+T. Help!

    I always use this feature and love it! I've gone thru the trouble-shooting guide, checked my plug-ins, cleared my cache and cookies, restarted my computer - and still no new tabs! The only way I can get a new tab is to click on HELP, FIREFOX HELP, and then use the new tab that opens.
    Is something wrong with Firefox?

  • How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

    Dear Helpful Open Source people.
    I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
    I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
    This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
    I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
    The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
    PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

    For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
    I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.
