Why does firefox lose all the tabs when logging on? annoying to remember the ones I had open

I open a few tabs with most used sites, facebook, ebay etc and when i log off i save and exit, some times it keeps them other times they go

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the browsing history.
Session restore works more reliable if you choose Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of relying on the Save & Quit dialog.

  • Firefox loses all my tabs when I re-open and won't let me restore!!!

    From day to day I need to have several tabs open in the browser. When I start up the next day and reopen firefox IT DOES NOT restore my tabs. I have to go into History and one by one restore them. What is wrong?? Will this ever get fixed??

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

  • Why is Firefox always displaying previous tabs when it opens?

    After I use Firefox and close the browser, the next time I open the browser it will reload ALL the tabs I had open previously. I have turned off this feature in the "options", but it's not working. ALSO, if I click on any link which is going to open a new window of Firefox, it will not go to that website, but instead load all the tabs that were open previously....again!

    WHY IS FIREFOX ALWAYS FREEZING AND NOT RESPONDING?
    i have deleted program and reloaded it and have same thing

  • Why does Firefox randomly disconnect my tabbed windows into their own window?

    I use tabbed browsing in my Firefox, since up grading to Firefox 18 it will occasionally, at random, disconnect a tab from the group. There doesn't seem to be a pattern and I am not telling it to separate the tab from the group.

    Hi DHarbour60, <br>
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
    <br>
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    <br>
    * Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    * Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    * Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    * Bulleted list itemFirefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    <br>
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Why does my Mac Mini keep crashing when I try backing up to the Time Machine?

    I have a Seagate Barracuda internal harddrive stuck in an external enclosure. I have formatted the harddrive to meet with the Mac's standards. I am trying to backup using the Time Machine feature and the computer has crashed three times so far. Is there something I can do? It is getting aggravating.

    Alright, the computer just crashed again and this is the error report log that was generated. If need be, I will post the other 3 or 4 from last night to now:

  • Why does Firefox create a folder "~/Download" when the "General" tab of the preferences window is selected in Linux?

    This bug exists in 3.6 (and perhaps earlier) and 4.0. Simply selecting the General preferences tab creates folder ~/Download no matter what option is currently set for the download directory.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
    (Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

  • Why firefox loses my saved tabs when it starts?

    My problem is pretty simple, it doesn't give me my saved tabs. I just get a blank tab. This happens a lot, maybe 5 times in the last 10 times I started firefox. An unbelievable problem that made me hate firefox and don't want to use it ever!
    I don't know why I still insist on using firefox, I should've turned to use chrome or IE9.

    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Why does Firefox's Maximize/Minimize tab in the bottom bar switch alternately from Green to Grey?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.13 under Mint 9, LXDE Edition. I've noticed its Maximize/Minimize tab in the bar across the bottom of the screen blinks alternately between green and light gray. I've never witnessed this phenomenon while running Firefox under other Linux distros or Windows. Does anyone know what it means?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    You can try to right-click the taskbar icon, '''Unpin''' it and later '''Pin''' it again. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows forum] would have different solutions to the problem.

  • Why does MainStage silence all instrument sounds when I hit the play button?

    I want to be able to be playing a pad or keyboard sound through an instrument channel strip that doesn't get cut off when I hit the play button to playback loops and sounds I have for songs.

    Hi
    The "Play" button resets the audio engine. Better to leave that running and use some other control mapped directly to the Playback Plugins

  • Why does firefox only occasionally restore tabs?

    I love firefox, but may have to return to chrome. Chrome restored my tabs everytime without fail, where as firefox does so occaisonally when shut down properly and never does if the computer restarts itself or some type of improper closing occurs. Why is this? Is there an addon to make firefox remember tabs?

    The feature to restore your previous session is fragile. For example, if the Flash player updates as it did this week, a page will launch in Firefox. If you close Firefox without using Restore Previous Session, you just replaced your last session with the Adobe page. Oh NO!!!
    There is an add-on to save more sessions and have better control over them. I haven't tried it myself.

  • Why does Firefox force 8bit color quality when it starts and distort some elements of my screen?

    Have no problem with other programs when I set color quality to 32bit. But when I start Firefox the screen looks like a low res screen. If I go look at the color quality in settings it will be at 8bit and changing it appears to fix things. Until I close Firefox and restart it then I am back to 8bit and poor looking graphics and even the windows start button will be messed up as well as the windows icon on the start button

    Right-click on the shortcut that you use to start Firefox and select Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and de-select all of the settings.
    If none of the settings are selected, repeat the above process, but this time using Windows Explorer right-click on the firefox.exe file, default location is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

  • Why does firefox 4.0 keep freezing when it goes to post something from facebook games?

    It sometimes works when posting from "cityville" on facebook, but EVERY time I try to post something from "frontierville" I have to close firefox and restart, and it never posts what I tried to post. For some reason when I try to post something it will come up in a seperate window,(not tab) it didnt used to do this with firefox 3.6.3

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.

  • Why does firefox hang or not respond when I am using disable third party cookies setting

    I have, by process of elimination, realized that when using the setting "allow third party cookies - 'never' ", causing my firefox to hang so much that I cannot use it. I have used that setting "allow third party cookies - 'never' ", for as long as it has been available. Over that last few months, I have been having problems with firefox hanging and getting the message "firefox not responding". It became very annoying, causing me to look for a solution. I read through the kb and tried many solutions. I can now say that when I change the cookie settting to "always" the problem goes away. It is helped only slightly by using the "from visited" setting. How can I fix this? I don't want all the cookies but I cannot surf with this problem constantly.

    The problem is that "third party" includes both related servers and advertising networks; the setting is too crude to accomplish the objective of blocking tracking cookies that you don't want.
    My compromise is to accept all third party cookies, but set cookie lifetime to "Keep until: I close Firefox." As a result, tracking is limited in time, even if during any given session I can be seen on different sites. (I also use the NoScript extension, so many ads driven by scripts never load.)

  • Why does Firefox 4 for mac crash when attempting to manage add-ons?

    Downloaded firefox 4 for mac yesterday. Working fine until I started adding add-ons/extensions. Since then, any attempt to manage add-ons or extensions crashes Firefox and requires a force quit.
    Help?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar to do a compatibility check.
