Whenever I click on Home every previously closed tab reappears. I've cleared all history to no avail. What gives?

For the last week or so, every time I click on the Home icon for my homepage previously closed tabs from previously closed sessions all reappear. I have cleared the history and closed Firefox over and over without those tabs but they keep reappearing whenever I click the Home icon. How do I get this to stop?

  • In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked

    In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked.
    Is this this the intended behavior? And if so is there any way to disable it?
    Thanks

    Middle-clicking a tab closes it, while middle-clicking an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.
    Different behavior is probably caused by a tab-related add-on like Tab Mix Plus. If you're not sure if you have such an add-on, restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if the problem still occurs.

  • 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 will not display anything from Yahoo! correctly anymore. I get a skeleton text structure whenever I attempt to load any yahoo-based pages. However, they load in Opera fine. I've cleared all history from FF, with no results.

    Update March 7, 2011:
    I've managed to get it to work via fiddling with Adblock's settings and what I had it set to block for me.
    It will load any other page I go to fine, but Yahoo! is a no-go. I've tried clearing all history, closing FF and then restarting it, but that didn't work. I attempted to open Yahoo! in my backup Opera browser, and it worked fine. This is a little annoying.

    Bring it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • Firefox 5 does not remember changed speed tweaks. Every time I close the browser they revert to the standard setting..what gives!

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

  • On opening and every time I click the home icon, a second tab opens entitled "customizing firefoxx with add-ons

    I tried uninstall and reinstall of Firefox but the pesky tab still opens every time I click the home icon. To make it worse I get a new tab every time which means I can have multiple customizing tabs opening during a single session. How can I stop this happening?

    In Options/General you must have more than one Home page selected.

  • How do I recover lost tabs when Session Restore and the option to load previously closed tabs aren't available?

    Hi there,
    I have been having a hell of a time over the last couple days days to recover my lost tabs in Firefox, which vanished yesterday morning (Restore Previous Session and Restore Closed Tabs were both greyed out). Actually, my add-ons have also been removed and many of my settings seem to have reverted back to their default state.
    My default setting was to show my windows and tabs from last time, but I recently updated Advanced System Care, and it seems that its AutoClean feature (which sweeps cookies, surfing history, cookies, browser cache, etc. at startup) removed all of this. I'm pretty sure this was the culprit, anyway - curiously my history seems to have not been deleted. But I did get a notification after I booted that AutoClean had run and done its thing.
    I had a lot of tabs open, which I realize is not necessarily a best practice, that had some important information on them. Sifting through my browsing history to find all of the important tabs I had open would probably take weeks and isn't really an option at this point. Also, my tabs didn't open until they were clicked, so I wouldn't be able to just look at the history over the last few days (since some of them were originally opened quite a while ago and haven't been clicked since).
    I would tremendously appreciate any assistance that anyone could provide in recovering these tabs or a previous day's session/state. I have done a lot of reading so far but haven't been able to find an answer that works. If someone has one, that would make me extremely happy. I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
    Thank you for reading,
    Brian

    You you no longer have access to that previous session via the sessionstore.js file, but still have the history then you need to check the history and use one of the sort options like sort by visited date to see which pages have been visited during that time period.
    You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

  • Firefox 35 won't open previously closed tabs

    Until this latest firefox version 35, I could right-click on a tab, select "Recently closed tabs", and then pick a site that I had closed out.
    Now, all I see is a small square box in the upper right corner of that option. When I click on "Recently Closed Tabs", nothing happens.
    What do I need to do to get "recently closed tabs" to work?

  • Whenever i click on the 'getting started' icon on the bookmanrks toolbar, the page appears in Hindi language, what should i do so that it comes automatically in english ?

    i just want to know the changes that i should do so that whenever i click on the 'getting started' icon, the page should appear in english language and not in hindi language.

    I did some further research on this specific piece of malware. There is an article here that has some more information about what it is :
    http://www.mywot.com/en/forum/8429-goingonearth-com-stay-away
    and it looks like this person has gotten it off of their computer by following the steps here: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/290253-google-redirectgoingonearthcom-malware/
    All-in-all, this is a pretty sophisticated piece of malware, and if neither of those links help, I'd suggest going to a forum site that is dedicated to fixing computer problems/infections and asking for some more targeted help there. It's something that is beyond my level of expertise to remove.

  • Whne I clear all history it does not clear the address bar, I still can click on the right side and see all of my past web sites

    I am using the newest version, and have done a clear recent history with all boxes checked

    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

  • Whenever I click the "home" button, my homepage appears but a Firefox start page also opens in a new tab. How can I stop this?

    This problem began only after I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox.

    Hi Doug,
    Sorry about that. It might be that '''both''' your homepage and the Firefox Start page are set as your homepage.
    Here's how to reset your homepage:
    # Open your homepage and close any other tabs
    # Click the [[Image:New Fx Menu]] menu button and click ''Preferences''
    # In the Preferences Window click ''General''
    # Click the ''Use Current Pages'' button
    Hopefully this will fix things. Let us know if it works!
    Best,
    Jayelbe

  • Mouse clicks not working: hyperlinks and closing tabs require multiple clicks

    When I click on the "x" icon to close a tab the tab will not close. After clicking a second, or sometimes third time, the tab will close. Same thing happens with hyperlinks. Also, Firefox seems slow and lethargic.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Firefox clears all history at every restart

    version 3.6.10
    at every restart, all browsing history and usernames that were stored are reset to default. Also, when downloading video in e-mail, maybe 35 to 50% of video will load and play. But 100% audio will play. Not having any luck finding a place to change these settings.

    I have 3.8, just installing 3.10, so this is not promising
    also I'm on a Mac
    even putting my address into googlemaps, which I've done a few times recently, it goes all over the country in its guesses and I have to enter the whole thing.

  • HT4623 whenever i update my 3gs it locks and i cant unlock it because  i cant download earlier version what gives.

    whenever i try to update my 3gs i locks on me and i can't unlock it  because i would have to download  an earlier version  of itunes  which doesn't work  can you help me?

    You need a valid SIM card from the carrier to which the phone is locked.  It sounds like you do not have a legitimately unlocked iPhone, and upgrading the iOS has re-locked it to the legitimate carrier
    Only the carrier can unlock the phone.
