Why does a group of App Tabs used as home page "double" when Firefox is re-started?

I'm using Firefox 4, and have set a group of tabs (some pinned using App Tab, others as normal tabs) as my home page.
When I start Firefox, the tabs pinned using App Tab appear twice, as a pinned tab and as a normal tab.
Is there a setting I'm missing? Is it possible to have a group of pinned tabs + regular tabs as initial page?

The problem is that if you have, say, three pinned app tabs set as the home page, most (but not all) of the time when FF4 starts, it'll open up SIX tabs, the original three PLUS three identical (but unpinned) tabs. Personally, I have five, so my FF4 starts with TEN tabs - not what I want.
If I unpin the tabs, FF4 behaves as expected.
It happens with Ubuntu as well as Windows versions.

    Why does my Safari open with American version, and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preferences, it happens every time no matter how many times I change them, when I open Safari its back to the USA and Apple home page.

    Try this.
    Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.

  • App Tabs change their 'home' page after browsing

    Hi, I have set a few App Tabs on the browser. They are set for the 'home' page for that site. I browse the site from the App Tab. When I return to that site later, again using the App Tab, it does not go back to the 'home' page of that site. It remembers the last page I browsed on. I always want the App Tab to open on the 'home' page of that site. Thanks.

    I presume "when I return to that site later" means, when Firefox is restarted:
    Firefox will remember where you were at for the app-tab in the next session, so that is explained. They are functioning correctly.
    You cannot open a link/bookmark to another site in an app-tab, but you can from the location bar or if the link or bookmark involves JavaScript. You can go to the bottom of the pile of your tabs (oldest at bottom, newest at top) by selecting the lowest tab. After doing that recheck to see if there are more lower down as you can only see 15 webpages at a time in a tab drop-down.
    There is nothing to stop you from deleting an app-tab either accidentally or on purpose.
    What I do is save all my app-tabs into a bookmark folder. Every once in while, daily at least, I wipe out all my app-tabs and do something else or simply restore all of my app-tabs but they are regular tabs. But I have the "Multiple Tab Handler" extension and I select all of the tabs I want as app-tab from the first already selected and extend selection with the Shift key to the last I want and pin those as app-tabs in one shot. A few more I will read like the weather and dismiss them. This way they are nice clean tabs with nothing else in their tab history. (you right-click on the back/forward button to see tab history)
    App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work. '''Tools > Options > Privacy''' you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

  • Why does 4.0.1 not open Apple's home page ?

    Of all pages on the net, Safari 4.0.1. refuses to open www.apple.com, which I find very ironic, as I saw that it was set as the Home Page, after I reset Safari, when I tried to resolve this. I have also trashed safari.plist, but to no avail. Firefox has no problem.
    Bank pages and others open fine. I was wondering if anyone else has found this bizarre discrimination against the mother site, and/or has a fix? Strangely, Safari does open with specific Apple addresses like: http://discussions.apple.com/
    Otherwise, there's always good old Firefox...

    Isn't this site wonderful!!!
    For years I have nearly ALWAYS received a solution here! Thanks a million Hawaiian_Starman. Actually, for anyone else reading this, I found that going to System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing> "assistive devices" was unchecked. But, having an inkling of Apple's ways, I checked it. Opened Safari, failed to open the Apple page, closed Safari, went back to to "assistive devices" and unchecked it. Opened Safari, typed in www.apple.com and kalabazaam!!! It opened! Your solution worked. How anyone found that beats me.
    On to the next one...

  • Why  does apple let the app whisper use my udid i thought it banned apps from doing so

  • Why does only a spinning gear appear on the 'Home' page of the Creative Cloud window?

    When I click on the icon for Creative Cloud on the toolbar, it opens in the 'Home' window and a spinning gear appears. It does not disappear until I click on another page, such as 'Apps,' "Files,' etc.

    This worked for me:
    Open Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder. Type in ~/library and hit enter.
    Open Application Support/Adobe folder and rename OOBE folder to OOBEold.
    Click on Apple icon on the top left, select System Preferences
    Choose the network that is currently connected to internet that can be Ethernet or
    Airport(Wireless). Click on Advanced button and click Proxies Tab.
    Under 'Select a Proxy server to Configure' Uncheck all the proxy check boxes, then uncheck 'Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)'.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • TS3274 why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    why does ibooks crash on ipad air using 8.02?

    Hi DizzyTaco2,
    If you are having issues with an Apple application such as iBooks freezing or quitting unexpectedly on your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • Why we need to change apps pwd using fndcpass only?

    why we need to change apps pwd using fndcpass only?
    can't we change using alter user......?

    See the following note.
    Note:160337.1 How To Manually Change The APPS, APPLSYS and APPLSYSPUB Passwords in Oracle Applications
    This is critical. No support if you use this way to change password. This should be the last option. Recommended is using FNDCPASS.
    =======
    After using FNDCPASS to change Apps password, you have to run AutoConfig. AutoConfig will take care of changing/modifying all files and profile options. so you will not need to update any file manually.
    - Stop all application services
    - Use FNDCPASS to change the password
    FNDCPASS apps/pwd 0 Y system/pwd SYSTEM APPLSYS <new_pwd>
    - Run AutoConfig
    - Bounce all application services

    If you rest it on your computer's iTunes then try logging out of your account on the iPod by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

  • Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Free means Free....
    As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
    And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.
