When I open Firefox pages that were open last time I closed Firefox are opened again

when I close Firefox the next time I open it all the tabs that were open when I closed it come back. How can I stop this from happening.

Also make sure that Firefox is closing properly otherwise session restore will try to restore that session automatically.

  • When restarting firefox after a crash, how do I stop it from re-opening all web pages that were open at the time of the crash?

    When firefox crashes, or if it hangs and I have to kill it, then when I go to restart it, it tries to re-open all pages that were open at the time it crashed or was killed. This is incredibly annoying, especially if one of the visited pages caused the crash or hang. It is also really annoying if some of the web pages happened to require passwords to log in, from multiple sites. In my case this occurs as I am frequently logged into multiple online educational web sites like ucsc-extension.edu and berkleemusic.com. In the login case you get multiple login prompt pop-ups with no way to correlate which pop-up goes with which web page. If there are a lot of them then it's a hopeless mess. This behavior is something that I never ever want and it infuriates me that not only is it the default behavior, it is something that there seems to be no way to turn off, at least via the configuration menus. Am I wrong? Is there a way to turn this off? If not can somebody either make it configurable or get rid if this fantastically idiotic behavior?
    I suspect there's a command line option for this but on my Mac (or most systems these days) it's sort of "unnatural" to be starting programs like browsers by means other than a provided program start-up icon, which gives you no choice about the command line options.
    Besides, as a default behavior the current behavior is something I cannot conceive of ever wanting. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == firefox crashed

    You can try this.
    In the address bar type about:config you will be warned that this is dangerous.
    Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
    Double click on true to toggle it to false.
    Exit the page.
    Firefox will now NOT try to reload websites after a crash.

  • My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

    My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
    Any suggestions?

    Question asked and answered several times.
    If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
    iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

  • How do I "save tabs and quit" in this new version of Firefox, as I did in the older version? I want to be able to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer.

    In an earlier version of Firefox, when I went to close it, I would get a prompt "save tabs and quit?" that allowed me to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer. Where is that feature on the new version of Firefox?

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

  • Where can I get the sample layout pages that were in the older CS Dreamweaver?

    Where can I get the sample layout pages that were in the older CS Dreamweaver. You normally find them when you press "More" on the start screen and you see it on the "layout" section.
    On the CC version you only get 2 out of the 20 that you used to get. How can I get them back?

  • Is there a way to delete pages that were captured on a document?

    I have created templates on the page layout, but I want to understand how to remove them. Sorry if this is a basic question: I'm using Pages for only 2 days...
    Please understand that I don't want to delete pages that were created inside the document. I would like that templates to disappear from the Pages menu on the toolbar.

    Thank you, I just found out...

  • Delete pages that were scaned

    I scaned 20 pages. After I finished I noticed that several of the pages were not signed. I signed them, and rescaned them. How do I delete the pages that were not signed. I really don't want to scan all 20 pages again. Your help is this matter will be greatly appreciated.

    This can't be done with just the free Reader. It can be done with the paid Acrobat and with the paid CreatePDF service.

  • When I upload videos that were shot in portrait to iMovie, they are oddly distorted and widened. Is there anyway of fixing this?

    When I upload videos that were shot in portrait to iMovie, they are oddly distorted and widened. Is there anyway of fixing this?

    Thanks for the advice! However, when I tried your suggestion, the image was still distorted. Instead of being the usual portrait view with the black bars on either side of the video, the entire video stretches to fill the whole screen, making everything on the video seem much wider than the images truly are. Do you have any suggestions for fixing this?

    Hi..
    Thanks for the reply..
    My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
    My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
    Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
    I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
    So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
    I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I'm afraid to do the latest update because in the past when I update I always loose something . Last time it was my "pinned" tabs. What is the solution?

    Hello,
    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
    #Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    #*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
    #*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
    # At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
    # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
    # In the new window that appears, click OK.
    # Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
    For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
    Thank you.

  • Project Managers to know when a task has been updated for the last time

    Hi,
    I would like know if there is any timestamp feature in Project Server 2007, so that it can be possible for Project Managers to know when a task has been updated for the last time.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    If you are using the My Tasks to drive the task updates then you can use the 'Applied Requests and Errors' available under 'Go To' in the Task Updates area. Here the PM can find when requests have been approved and how many updates he/she received for a
    particular task (by clicking the task name) etc.
    Hope this helps

  • I do NOT want firefox to load 200 MB EVERY time i start it JUST because it wants to load the last pages that were opened. How do I disable this?

    I usually close firefox through the windows taskmanager with the "end process" command because it always becomes unresponsive sooner or later (i think due to website scripts that stop responding).
    Anyway when i open it afterwards i have to wait like 1-2 min while it loads and loads and loads (150-250 MB ram) all the sites that were opened in the previous session. I do NOT want this i want to disable this horrible feature but currently that is not an option. Or is it ? How can I disable it?
    I want my firefox to start up quickly without loading previous sessions no matter how it was closed.

    im asking how to disable that not how to enable it ... in my "when firefox starts:" box ive chosen "show my home page" but it still loads stuff from last time because i've closed the program by ending the process in taskman. ... which i explained in the question but w/e thanks anyway
