When opening Firefox, over 10 windows open, all of which have only a single "New Tab"

I am running Firefox 5.0. Just recently, it started to open multiple (over 10) windows when I start it from the quick start area. All of the windows open with a single tab entitled "New Tab". Any tabs that I had open from my last Firefox session are ignored.
I've used Firefox for many years.
I use a desktop running Windows 7 SP1 Professional with an Intel i5 chip.

It is 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.

* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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.<br />
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).

  • How can I rapidly open Facebook home, then open all of my notifications each in a new tab, without having new tabs refusing to load? Ff can't do 3 tabs @once.

    Open Facebook.
    Click on notifications.
    One by one, right-click on each one, and select open in new tab.
    Result: only one or two tabs successfully load. Firefox apparently cannot open more than two tabs simultaneously with a DSL connection. and Windows 8.1 on a Dell laptop. :(
    The unsuccessful tabs still show New Tab, but are blank white pages, and have the URL that SHOULD HAVE opened.
    Refresh tab will not load the page.
    Cut the URL, then paste and go the URL, and the page will load.

    METHOD 1
    You can do the following:
    * Scan your Computer for viruses.
    * Disable all ad-on and extensions.
    Check this page for more information

    METHOD 2:
    If it didn't work than
    * Reset the FireFox (It won't delete any history or your saved bookmarks).

    after installing the latest upgrade firefox just hangs when opening - was fine before. have tried deleting restore session but worse not better now. no change with firewall.

    I'm using Mac OS 10.4.11 & even typing this message the characters appear so slowly that I could get a hammer and chisel and inscribe the words faster than the new Firefox runs. WTF?

  • After I connected my hard disk to a friend's windows system all my files have been converted to .ink files and do not open....what do i do? They had important content

    after connecting my hard disk to a windows laptop all my files have somehow converted to .ink files and are not accessible.....what do i do?

    What do you mean by "all files", surely only one category of files got their default open program changed.
    Choose the affected files, right click on an individual file, and "open with",...change to default program.
    For a group, right click > show info > open with > change ALL
    If more than one group of files has had its default opening program changed, a time machine roll-back would be the easy option. Do you have a TM backup?

  • When I click my home page icon the tab this is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens.

    when I click my home page icon the tab that is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens. How do I stop the new tab from appearing?

    It's easy to add extra tabs to your set of home pages. You can use the Options dialog to make sure there is only one. These articles point the way:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Because the space is short, you may want to select the whole home page URL (Ctrl+A) and paste it into a document or into a larger textbox like the one I'm typing in now. You're looking for a vertical bar (|) that is followed by a second URL.
    If it's not part of your home page setting, the most likely cause for this change is a bad add-on that rode along with some free software.
    I suggest starting here:
    Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    Then, in Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible).
    Often 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 shut down the extra tab?

  • Firefox 8.0 No New Tab displays next to open tab, have to manually select new tab

    I am no longer seeing a New Tab when I have a tab in use... in FF 3.6, & 4.0 when I opened a site in a tab, then a New Tab would automatically appear to the right of the tab in use... I checked tab settings in OPTIONS, and all correct.... So now I have to manually select "New Tab" if I want to open a new tab....and it's not opening a new site into a new tab as is selected in OPTIONS, instead it opens in the current tab, so it's overriding the tab I am on... very frustrating.. How can I go back to FF 4.0????? thanks TB

    Do you have any themes installed?
    Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
    If so, try selecting the default theme and restart the browser.
    Also check to see if you can add the "+" by right-clicking on tab toolbar in a blank area and selecting "Customize...". Then select the "+" button from the list of available buttons and drag it to the right of the rightmost tab.
    Another method:
    1. Right click somewhere on the toolbar area and select Customize.
    2. Add flexible space to the far right side of the tabs toolbar, to the left of the (now white) "+" icon.

  • When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?

    When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
    I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

    Can anyone help?

  • Firefox is not opening the "Show All History" Window, images are not loading and part of the new tab default page is not loading up

    For about two days now Firefox has been unable to load up images, even in its menus, and the menu buttons do not open up their corresponding windows.
    The page that comes up when opening a new tab has the first three webpages displayed, but the second three underneath are blank and the boxes are cut off.
    Things like youtube work fine. What could be the problem?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
