When I have 5 or six tabs open and click on one to use it, it disappears

I was using Firefox to check real estate for sale from Trademe.co.nz
I had four tabs in use with different properties.
When I tried to switch to another tab, by clicking in the centre of it, it disappeared. Then each tab disappeared as I tried to open them, until I was left with one.
Previously, Firefox had been working properly and I had been able to change to different tabs and back again.

If you want to be asked to restore tabs then you can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
* browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
* browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
As posted above:<br />
In Firefox 3 you do not get the 'Save & Quit' pop-up dialog if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time".<br />
If that option is selected then your pages will already be reopened the next time.<br />
To get that pop-up dialog you need to select one of the other choices (Show my home page, Show a blank page).<br />
If you reset the above mentioned warn prefs then Firefox will ask.

  • When i have 2 firefox widows open and i close one of them the other window asks if i am sure abt closing it too

    and it asks 2 times

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Hi If you get an error message saying your flash is blocked by firewall or needs updating or similar and you just get the spinning colour wheel try this link
    It takes you to Adobe which tells you which ver of flash player you have - you can then see if there is a later ver by clicking on the library and it automatically selects the correct version for you to download.
    Worked a treat for me! Good Luck

    Ps Don't forget to use a browser other than firefox or you will be there for days.

  • When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

    When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

    When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
    The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

  • I am unable to open another Firefox4 window when I have the Error Console open and I can't open the Error Console when I have two Firefox4 windows open. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am trying to debug the jQuery to a micro site I've created and I am unable to open the Error Console when I have two Firefox windows open and I am unable to open a second Firefox window when I have the Error Console open.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 and I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • Firefox crashes at completely random times, sometimes when I have tons of tabs open, sometimes when I have just one open. Also, Vista tells me "Firefox has stopped working" every time that I close it. This started about 3 days ago.

    It happens completely randomly. Also, when I tried wearing a persona recently, it crashed after 10 seconds. The browser still crashes when I don't wear it.

  • When I have a pdf tab open, then I scroll in a different tab, it also scrolls the pdf file tab. Why does it do that?

    I want to be able to scroll different tabs without changing the pdf page every time I use a different tab.

    I think once I did not even see the page in my history

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • Why does it keep telling me I have too many tabs open even if I only have one or 2?

    When I am online, several times a day it will not open a new tab and pop up a screen that tells me I have too many tabs open and gives me the option to let it close them or I can close them. But I may only have 1 tab open, sometimes more than that but it doesn't seem to matter how many. I can shut down my computer and bring it back up and it will work ok for a little while and then all of a sudden when I go to open a new tab it does it all over again. I am using mozilla and vista.

    hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

  • FF31: When I only have one tab open, even a blank one, and close the tab the window closes.

    FF31: When I only have one tab open, even a blank one, and close the tab the window closes.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location bar and hit '''''Enter'''''.
    ''Accept the warning.''
    '''browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab'''
    double-click to toggle to '''false''' and then restart Firefox.
    Now if you close the last tab the window (or Firefox) won't close, but a New Tab will be there.

  • My firefox always opens a crash report when I close it. Even if I have no tabs open and close firefox.

    Do you still get the problem in [[safe mode]] and with default themes, and all plugins disabled. Note common causes of crashes are malware, and versions of the software IDvault. (do you use IDvault ? - often provided by Comcast)

    Hi chrismarks1,
    I think you may be confusing bookmarks with thumbnails. If you click the Page Thumbnails icon (the one above the Bookmarks icon), then you can delete a page by clicking its thumbnail, and clicking the Delete Pages icon (the trashcan icon). Just make sure that you're viewing the PDF file in Acrobat (rather than Acrobat Reader), as you can't delete pages from Reader.
    Best,
    Sara

    I usually have 30 tabs opened, and the memory rises in a unexpected way, so that when it reaches 1.2GB, firefox crashes. Also If, for e.g. firefox is consuming 700MB of memory (with a lot of tabs opened), and if i close those tabs and leave just 2 or 3 opened, the memory usage does not drop and remains at the 700MB. Thanks for your attention. Regards, Ricardo

    I have the same sort of problem with 30-40 tabs, with memory usage growing until crash. It seems a lot worse after restarting from standby mode on Vista - it's often highly unresponsive for a while, then crashes.
    I have a fair few plug-ins running, one of the benefits of Firefox.
    Is their a way I can log memory use of parts of Firefox, particularly the plug-ins?

  • I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

    I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

    Upon opening LR I receive a "Server Busy" dialoge box: "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." I have no other programs open and when I wait a bit it clears with the 'retry' button. Happened following a recent update. I'd really like this to go away - any ideas?

    For me this happens when I have Zenfolio or Facebook open in Google Chrome, even if Google Chrome is not active.  If you use Chrome, when the error shows up open Chrome and close each one of the tabs and click on the retry in Lightroom.  Also happens if Internet explorer is running with either of these two programs.
