Trying to troubleshoot Firefox closing without remembering my sites. I have no Safe Mode - tried 3 methods listed in Help. What happened to Safe Mode?

This problem started last evening when I tried to close Firefox. Normally the program asks if I want it to remember the current tabs. If there are multiple copies open (or some flyer window pops up that I did not see), then I get the "you are about to close xx tabs". This usually means I have to close the odd flyer window then I can close normally.
This did not happen last evening - just got the "you are about to close xx tabs" right off. See below for steps I took.

If you haven't tried this, give it a try. It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you. In your version 3 firefox, disable all extensions, I had two plugins (doubletwist and joost, disable those if you have them). Then install firefox 5 by overwriting your version 3 firefox. It should work fine after that. I tried everything before, I gave that a last ditch shot. Oh yeah, before you install firefox 5, clear your cache of everything just to be sure.
Hopefully that helps.

  • I had 9 tabs open on Firefox every day when I start at work. Today, the tabs no longer open. Plus Firefox closed without warning and again the tabs did not re-open.

    I have 9 tabs open on Firefox every morning when I start work. Today the tabs are not there. I re-loaded the tabs and about 10 minutes later, Firefox closed without warning. When I went to open Firefox again, the tabs were gone again. I checked the options box under Tools, and the "show my windows and tabs from last time" is already loaded. Please help!

    Just once or twice

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    Another possibility is that there is a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

  • Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

    Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

    The ringtone file format is m4r.  You can create ringtone from any of your music file in your iTunes Music library.
    Follow steps as follow:
    1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
    2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” n Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
    3. Right mouse click the music file again and choose “Create AAC Version”
    4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
    5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
    6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
    7. *Important - Now uncheck the start n stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
    8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
    9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
    Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
    Once you have ringtones in Tones library, you can sync ringtones over by connecting your phone to PC, select iPhone under Devices on iTunes left Pane, then go to 'Tones' tab and check SYNC TONES as well as the ringtones.  Click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

  • Firefox will not remember web site passwords

    I have set the security option to remember passwords. I have also set the web site to remember passwords. I still have to log in to my home page every time I open Firefox.
    The home page is www.symbaloo.com.
    Internet Explorer remembers it without issue.
    Thanks.

    Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Private Browsing mode.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically and won't offer to store new passwords.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

  • Firefox 8... Unable to create PDF files from screen using Adobe Acrobat X...what happened?

    I'm no longer able to use the Adobe feature to create PDF's from the Firefox screen.
    Unable to find any information on correcting this issue.
    I would not have upgraded to Firefox 8 if I knew the loss of the Adobe PDF feature would be effected.
    I reinstalled the standard Adobe Acrobat X with no results...
    What happened?

    Firefox Support - I even create a Firefox account just to agree with [email protected] I appreciate the word "Thank you for being awesome!" when I registered the account and I certainly do hope you all guys being awesome to. Please do something with all this Firefox update - add-on plugin no longer support thingy. Firefox still awesome, it's just that I can't do much wit it anymore like I used to do. Ohh yayy theres Safari..

    I have a 5th generation 60GB iPod which I have been
    trying to update to software version 1.2 (from
    1.1.1.) but I keep getting the error message
    duplicated in the subject line of this post.
    I wouldn't mind to keep using V.1.1, except that I
    want to play a game I downçloaded from iTunes and
    which requires 1.2 to work.
    Any help?

  • I just updated to Firefox 9.0.1 and when using Yahoo mail I can no longer send an SMS. What happened?

    Selecting the drop down arrow displays the SMS option. Clicking on it does not show any activation. Has always worked before.

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem ---- you have both installed. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • As of approximately 1 1/2 weeks ago I can no longer login to iGoogle or GMail-get a message "The connection was reset". I can access the actual iGoogle page pre-login and all other websites and can login with IE8. Tried the suggestions listed in Help.

    Firefox 5/running Windows 7 Professional SP1/ on a Dell/Core 2 Duo 64 bit
    It worked when I initially got the machine, it works in IE8 and on my other computer in the same office/same network running XP Professional SP3 and Firefox 3.6.18

    Apparently, there was something corrupt in my Profile. I backed up my default profile, created a new one and copied over the critical folders and files - the addons; backedup bookmarks, places.sqlite; password info in key3.db and signons.sqlite.
    Issue resolved.
