Two tabs reload every time Firefox 3.6.2 starts, even if they were previously closed

Starting today, I have two tabs that reload every time Firefox is started. I've tried clearing the history, closing the tabs and restarting, and simply rebooting the system. Upgrading Firefox is not an option, as the newer versions don't work properly with some of the websites I frequent.
As it worked fine until today, and the copy on my USB drive still works fine, I assume it's a setting wrong. I'd copy the USB version over to my PC, but then I'd have to reset all of my bookmarks.
Thank you.

It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile 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 and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Why do I lose my tab apps and tab groups every time firefox updates to a new version?

    It seems like every time I get a new version of firefox my tab apps and groups disappear. Why does this happen and what can I do about it?

    Hi,
    My settings are as described and have been for a long time and number of versions. However whenever there is a update to firefox everything goes, including app tabs and other opened tabs.
    I think something should be done about this as it's very frustraighting to have to start again setting evverything up, and remembering everything I had pinned & open whenever there is an update.

  • How can I make Firefox check for the newest update of a website automatically instead of having to reload every time I go to it?

    IE Explorer has the option to check for newest version of a web page every time it is visited. With Firefox it seems I have to hit reload every time I go to an often visited web page. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere to fix this?

    # Type ''about:config'' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message, this brigs up a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type ''check''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.cache.check_doc_frequency and change its value to 1
    For more details on this preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

  • Why do three new tabs open every time I press the "home" icon?

    Three new tabs open every time I press the home icon. I and two others have looked through all my settings and have contacted Mozilla (no response) and can't figure out why this is happening? Anyone have a clue how to stop this incredibly annoying problem from continuing?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Upon install of Windows 7

    See [[How to set the home page]]: Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Unterminated string literal error every time firefox opens a page.

    Every time firefox opens a new page, the error pops up. It says Javascript error at the top of the error window - and the error is "unterminated string literal. It very annoying, some pages have multiple instances of the error window popping up on top of each other. I reloaded the program, no changes. I am ready to give up and go to Chrome (which does not have the error)

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

  • Every time Firefox sends an update my credit card web site loses my identity. Can this be fixed?

    For security purposes, the website for my credit card information uses information from the Firefox browser to identify my computer. Every time Firefox sends an update, that identification is lost and I have to obtain an identity code and re-access my credit card website. This is a pain in the butt. Is there any option in Firefox that I can set to keep Firefox from losing the identity?

    Hi,
    The definite way to close Firefox is to '''Exit''' via '''File''' ('''Alt''' + '''F''') or the Firefox button on the top left. Please note that Firefox may take a few seconds to close completely, especially depending on the settings like emptying history. If Firefox takes an unusually long time you may have to try '''End Process''' for the '''plugincontainer.exe''', if present in the Processes tab of Task Manager.
    PS: Not sure if what you mean is four Firefoxes in the Application tab or the Processes tab of Task Manager? If it is in the Processes tab then the issue could be malware and you may have to do a thorough malware check on the PC.

  • Video Thumbnails reloads every time I move playhead...

    Impossible to work with video thumbnails in sequence, cause I have to wait for all thumbnails to reload every time I move the playhead or swap windows. Anybody had a simular problem, and a solution?

    Yes, I have heard of that with certain Mac OS X 10.9 and OS X 10.10 installations. Is that what you have? No current solution but please file a bug report and I'll look into it more deeply when I get back to the office on Monday.
    I've advised others to turn off thumbnails if it is really slowing down your workflow.
    Thanks,

  • How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone?

    How do I stop apps from reloading every time I unlock my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and at least 95% of the time I unlock it, some apps act as though they are reinstalling. It only lasts for about 3 seconds if that but it makes me feel like something is wrong with it. Does anyone else have this problem??

    Could you explain what you mean by this? What is happening that makes you think they're reinstalling?

  • I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" every time Firefox starts up.

    I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" for Sync every time Firefox starts up. Sync tells me I am using a new computer, which isn't the case. This is the same computer I set up Sync with.
    What am I/is Sync doing wrong?

    There could be several things.
    Does everyone using the computer have their own user profile?
    Check the history settings. Is it set to remove cookies?
    Type '''about:preferences#privacy''' <Enter> in the address bar.
    The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    Some Anti-Virus, Disk Cleaning, and other programs will remove things
    from your browsers. Including history and cookies.

    Yesterday, since I downloaded the latest version 3.6.6, every time firefox opens and when I click on something, I get multiple error windows that say "ERROR: Security Manager Vetoed Action". I can't hardly use if anymore because of all the window pop-ups. What can I do? Can I go back to an older version?

    hello, when this is happening after you've already updated firefox with your admin account, try to delete the ''updates'' folder and ''active-update.xml & updates.xml'' within the %localappdata% folder of your restricted account like it is described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#Software_Update_not_working_properly

  • Every time I open photoshop cc the actions I have loaded previously have disapeared and I have to re load them, any ideas ?

    Hi I have recently formatted my pc and reinstalled Adobe CC. I have two sets of actions I regularly use and also a little action to flatten images when finished working on them.
    Every time I close Photoshop and re open it they have disappeared, all the windows I have set up are all back to the original. The work space if fine as are my Nik filters.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    1.— Did you actually save your actions as a set?
    2.— Did you actually save a workspace with your Actions panel showing?
