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.

  • 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.

    * 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.
    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).

  • I have been getting this (or earlier version) messages every time Firefox updates for at least a year "The Java Console extension is no longer supported and will be automatically removed the next time you restart Firefox. " What should I do?

    For a long time, each time Firefox updates, it invites me to install theJava Console Update. then I get a message that Java Console not supported.

    You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
    Disable the Java Quick Starter extension (if you have it): Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions<br />
    Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

  • 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'''.

  • Every time Firefox updates, I lose my Favorites tab for 24 hrs. What gives?

    Yesterday I upgraded to Firefox 5 & when I looked at my homepage my Favorites tab (next to Bookmarks) had disappeared. This is the second time this has happened. It also occurred when I upgraded from 3 to 4. It re-appeared both times just about 24 hrs later.
    THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
    Last time I was able to import the most important of my sites from IE (which still had my Favorites) to a folder that does not disappear. I used that access today for my crucial work, but I cannot store ALL my sites there.
    PLEASE get this fixed. It is too inconvenient to go through this every time I upgrade Firefox!

    Sorry, something you installed into Firefox added that Favorites menu item to the Menu Bar, or you don't have an official version of Firefox installed.
    Please take a look at the Help > About Firefox window and see if there is anything about '''Yahoo''' and maybe '''''1.8''''' mentioned in that window.

  • Every time I upgrade to a newer version from 3.6 it takes Firefox a long time to start from my desk top, why?

    The newer versions such as 4.0 and 5.0 run fine AFTER they launch, but they take a long time to launch when I click on the icon on my desktop. All other browsers including Firefox 3.6 launch immediately, I have had my PC checked it is not the problem. Is there a patch that I need to download?

    The iPhoto version that is currently available at the App Store os 9.5.1 and requires the Mavericks OS X.  The early 2008 24" iMac can run Mavericks.  Once you have Mavericks installed (it's free)  you can purchase iPhoto 9.5.1 from the App Store.
    If you don't want to upgrade to Mavericks you can purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com and install iPhoto 9.  Then up trade it to 9.4.3 via the updaters at the  Apple Downloads website: Apple - Support - Search

  • Every time Firefox opens, I get new tab, with my desired page as a tab that I have to click on to get to. How do I go back to how it was in previous versions?

    After updating to the newest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and the one that comes up on my screen is new tab, with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go there. Also when I click on a link the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab that I have to click on to get to. This is actually quite annoying and inconvenient. How do I go back to the way that it was, so that when I start Firefox it opens on my home page, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link that I clicked on? IMO This new and improved is really new and made worse.

    An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
    Try disabling 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. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
    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 get rid of the extra tab?
    Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

  • Every time i try and update firefox a window pops up ad says that I must reboot firefox from a previous install and when i do and i try to reinstall firefox the same pop up comes up and it won't let me update to the new version

    when i try to update firefox to the new version and i go to install it it tells me to reboot the system from a previous install of firefox so i go and reboot the system and it keeps saying the same thing.

    Try this:<br/>
    # Close Firefox.
    # In Windows Explorer, go to the following location: '''%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates'''
    # Delete everything in that folder.

  • Why is my 2010 macbook pro freezing and shutting down every time I start it?

    Today, after using my macbook pro to upload pictures from my iphone, my computer started having problems and shutting down. The screen goes gray and a box pops up saying that a problem exists and that I need to restart my computer. I've only had the macbook since last November, so I don't understand why I've been having so many problems with it. This happened a few times to a lesser extent in Senegal when I was there for 5 months. I used a mac power adapter so I don't think it could be an over-charge problem.
    Please help!

    Sounds like your iphone is causing kernal panics.
    Unplug everything. Keyboards, mice, external hard drives, the lot.
    One of these devices could be causing it.
    Then, grab your Install DVD, and boot while holding the C button.
    Select your language.
    Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
    Then restart, and every once in a while, add one of the keyboards/mice/iphones/hdd's one by one to see if they are causing issues & therefore identifying the culprit.

  • Start page changes and settings changed every time firefox is turned on goes back to normal setting

    I have down loaded firefox several times and it wont keep the options i select in options, the home page goes to snap do whenever firefox is restarted

    hello stevestella, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
    in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

    I have an old Firefox. Every time I update to a new version, I can't get back on the internet. It tells me it can't find the server. So I have to uninstall the updated version and go back to my old version.

  • Why did i loose all my apps and music from my phone when i updated it?

    WHY did i loose all my apps and music from my phonewhen i updated it?

    Without knowing all of the information we can only guess  .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync  and sync again.
    Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
    If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.

  • Every time I navigate to a new site or page I also get additional new tabs opening which say 'Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 - this page is no longer available', so I soon end up with an extra tab every time I navigate to a new page.

    so I am geting an additional unwanted MS Exchange tab/window every time I navigate to a new site or bookmark. i recentlly upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and I think this problem may have started around the same time. I also have MS Outlook but this is stand alone and I do not synch online at all, and have not changed any settings in it.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • When switching my iphone to a new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and imessages?

    i currently share an itunes account with several people and devices. i would like to make my own apple ID. When switching my iphone to the new apple ID will i lose my songs, apps, and/or imessage conversations?

    You need a valid/working email address in order to create an account.
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    Note that if yo chaghe acounts in Settings>iTunes and App Store media will NOT be deleted from the ipod but:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
