Why won't my tabs close when I close a window?

I click the "X" in the top corner to close out the window. When I open Firefox after, the tabs from the previous window reopen. Before, if I closed the window the tabs would close too unless there was some sort of issue. There doesn't appear to be an issue but they still reopen.

You can also check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the <b>browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once</b> pref to true.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Why won't my tabs close once I click the red X, or when I right-click and select Close Tab?

    Today I ran across an issue on my work computer where the tabs would not close. Normally, I would just close the browser and hope it fixes itself, but on my work computer I run a program in the browser that i should not close. Or, at least, it would be a huge hassle to start it all over again. Any suggestions or insights in to how I can resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

    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.

  • Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?

    Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?
    "Firefox can be configured to restore all windows and tabs that were open when the application is closed or terminated unexpectedly. This article describes the circumstances under which your session is restored and how you can configure it."
    I have it set up, in "Tools", "Options", etc., for my windows and tabs to reopen & be restored to the webpages that they were previously at before I, for one reason or another, restarted my computer! But, after I restart my computer and the Firefox browser, it always goes to my homepage; the windows & tabs NEVER restart as they should!
    It wasn't always like this. It has only been within the last few weeks that this has become a constant and consistent problem. I assume that a Firefox update somehow disabled something & that's why it isn't working properly but, whatever...
    How do I fix this so that my windows & tabs reopen as they should!?

    Have you checked to make sure that under>> Options >> General >> That the startup behavior is appropriately? I had the same problem after upgrading and setting my homepage. It should be set to "show my windows and tabs from last time".
    Just re-read your post. sounds like you've tried this already.

  • Why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

    I'm not sure if this answers your question. I will update them in iTunes. Then I will connect my phone and in the phone controls I can click the "Update" button and it will change to "Will Update" but doesn't.
    That's part of the problem. Once upon a time, iTunes would just automatically update apps from the computer to the phone and now it apparently requires prompting that doesn't work.

  • Why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

    Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Why won't my background rotate when The IPAD turns anymore

    Why won't my background rotate when The IPAD turns anymore?

    You posted this in the iPhone forum. Check in Control Center (swipe up from the home screen) and see if the rotation lock is turned on there (an icon of a lock with a circled arrow).

  • Why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb

    why won't my ipod charge when i use my new usb is used?

    A new USB what? Cable? If the old one still works and the new one does not that would point to a bad new cable.

  • Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    Why won't my ipod pause when I turn off the ignition in my car? It used to.

    How is the iPod connected to your car stereo?, (via earphone jack or iPod dock connector)
    By "pause" you mean that now it is playing thru your car stereo, while previously, it stopped playing thru your car stereo, when you switch off the ignition?
    Anyway, I don't think it is an iPod problem, but you can try the
    iPod Hard Reset -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    refer to this Apple supprt Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    This reset wont delete any of your songs, just put all the settings back to when you first took it out of the box.

  • Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Assuming the MP620 is connected to your wireless network, then there are two components to this device - the printer and the scanner. The printer uses Canon proprietary software while the scanner is supported by Apple's Bonjour service. So in many cases, you will at least see the scanner, shown as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column, while the printer can take longer to appear and is shown as canonijnetwork in the Kind column. If you cannot see either then you have a network issue. Try turning off the MP620 for a minute and then turning back on. Then see if the scanner / printer component appears in the Add Printer window. If you still don't see either, then confirm the MP and the Mac are using the same network. If you know the MP's IP address you can use Network Utility to Ping the address. You can also enable Bonjour Bookmarks in Safari preferences and when selected, the MP620 should appear.

  • Why did my browser start crashing when I have two windows or tabs open and I try to close one of them?

    I updated Firefox yesterday, 1/11/2013, and now when I try to close a second window or an second tab that I have open, my browser crashes. I tried restarting my computer, but that did not help. I was not on a website that I don't normally use or trust. I tried clearing my cookies and the cache, but that just made both windows and tabs close. I clicked the x on the window to close it, and the same for the open tab. I'm going to try to restart my browser again, and then maybe re-install Firefox, but I don't know what to do if that doesn't work. My OS is Windows 7, if that helps or matters.

    hello, unfortunatley those crashes are triggered by the norton confidential 2012/2013 plugin for firefox. according to the bug report associated to the crash signature norton is aware of the issue and planning to release a fix for the bug soon. for details more details it would be best to contact norton's customer support or watch out for updates on symantec's liveupdate.
