31 Firefox on Linux Mint 13 suddenly stopped to save tabs or warning on close

Have used this system for about a year. Update Firefox once or two. Always worked very well. In the last months I kept several tabs open that I wanted to keep but are not currently working with. FF has always presented the 'Save and exit' box, and always, I clicked on "save and exit". He has always worked and always open with my saved tabs.

This morning I had a question about the file manager of mint 13, Caja. I clicked on the 'Help' of Caja button. Firefox was not open. Caja-opened with only the tab of the home page. I downloaded a PDF file and closed FF.

Then I wondered about this behavior and open FF in the menu, as I usually do. It opened only the home page.

After a lot of research online and study settings FF, I find:

  • 'Restore previous Session' is always grayed out.
  • "Warn when closing" (topic: config) is always set to True
  • Preferences-Tabs is always set to "Warn me when closing multiple tabs"
  • I found that preferences-general set to 'show my home page ". I changed it to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

At this point, FF opens with the sidebar story opens if I let him, but

    • It does NOT indicate on several tabs
    • He's not asking if I want to "save and exit", as he has always so far
    • It does NOT save open tabs
    • It ALWAYS starts with ONLY the homepage, despite the settings.

I restarted Linux, but it made no difference.
I've NOT updated FF recently. I have nothing.

That's happened? Why should FF behave suddenly it? This happened to someone else?

Thank you.

SUCCESS!

Here's what worked:

(1) yesterday I installed the Session Manager (then had to deal with other issues).

(2) today:

    a)  I renamed my "sessionstore.js" to "sessionstore.bak-(today's date/time).
    b)  I copied that July sessionstore backup file to the desktop, renamed the copy "sessionstore.js" and put it back.
    c)  Restarted Firefox.  Session Manager promptly popped up a dialog box asking what tabs I wanted to restore.  I recognized all my old tabs, so I had it restore everything.
    d) Closed FF with "Save and quit".
    e)  Re-started FF.  It came up with all the tabs, just like before.

I 'got lucky' here by having this backup of session July 31, on that I didn't even know.

Thanks to jscher2000 and cor - el for your useful tips.

billmcct, your idea sounds good too, except that in this case this backup file got defined to match the '.js' until I realize what was going on. So it would not have helped here. Thanks for sharing, however.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin - container.exe" who was using much of my CPU when I open several tabs containing Adobe Flash files and locked up Firefox.

    My solution is to use Firefox 3.5.10, which you can get on the Mozilla site at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    I use Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the date of issue, in my opinion, it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".

    If all goes well, they will set Firefox 3.6 in the next version (for example Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use «Firefox 3.5.10»

  • My Outlook Express has all of a sudden suddenly stopped to save my sent items. I checked the settings, and it is set to save. What could be wrong?

    This is a computer that I use for business - so it is essential that I have copies of the stuff I send.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the files of user OE (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

    Firefox for linux mint 1.0 33.0

    Hi Shankaraya,
    This phenomenon happens with a packaged version of Firefox or is happening to Mozilla-hosted version of linux?

  • If you use firefox for linux, I'm unable to open the game client for a called flash browser game darkorbit.

    I'm using Linux Mint 17.2 xfce.
    The Firefox I use is 42.0 Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint Mint - 1.0.
    Shockwave Flash is 11.2r202.
    The browser Flash game is DarkOrbit ( www.darkorbit.com ).
    The game was working fine until about 2 months ago.

    I log in the game (as before) and get on the last page without any problem.
    When I click on 'Start' to go to the game client, the screen is black. The browser tab written game client will blink twice.
    Please note that everything works fine when I use the chrome Web browser.
    DarkOrbit works very well with Firefox on Windows.

    Is there a way to use the pepper Flash used in Chrome/chrome using the freshplayerplugin wrapper.

    Your Linux distro may have related packages for it.

    Alternatively, you can use Chrome or chrome for that one site and use Firefox for everything else.

  • Console DRAC 5 and virtual media does not not from Firefox on Linux

    Nice day

    I'm trying to access the console and features virtual media from a server of PE2950iii with a Drac 5 with the latest firmware 1.65 from a client Linux Mint running Firefox 27.

    I had no chance whatsoever with the plugin and now try the java applet. Using the java applet I can successfully open a virtual console and see what is on the screen, however, it does not meet one of my shots (or macro keys in the menu).

    Trying to run the java applet of virtual media is worse that that does not even start. I get the following error:

  • Firefox suddenly stopped opening 'in a new window"when I ask-open"in a new tab"only

    For the last two days, Firefox has suddenly stopped opening in a new window; Now, I can never have a window open at a time (even though she always let me open several tabs).
    Tried everything down and rebooting not closing of course, but made no difference.
    Don't have no knowledge of changing parameters - I changed or damaged something without knowing?
    The only news I did recently, is download the add-on from the EPUB reader! Is there a link?

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > themes).

    • Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

    See:

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

    • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.
    • Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

  • Hello from Firefox with camera backwards (with linux Mint 17)

    Hello, I am running Firefox 36.0.1 and I tried the new addon from Hello. Unfortunately, my camera is displayed upside down. It was the same problem I had using Skype and I had to update libv4l and that worked. It still works now for Skype, but Hello the problem is back. (I use linux Mint 17)
    Any suggestion?

    Skype and Gtalk for linux are 64-bit by default, but Firefox is a 32-bit program (for now). LD_PRELOAD = /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so will not solve this problem in Hello because it is a 64-bit library.

    Using /v4l1compat.so is the right idea, but that error "cannot open shared object file" comes from the kernel and not from Firefox. "Cannot open shared object file" means that the file is not there or that your user name is not allowed to read. Verify the path and permissionsv4l1compat.so (after checking that the library is there and that it has the appropriate permissions) and then try to run: LD_PRELOAD = / usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so/usr/bin/firefox

  • Videos of YouTube suddenly stop and restart only in Firefox

    Last night around 20:00 I watched a video without problem, Youtube closed my browser and did other things for a while. When I got home at about 22:00 and tried to watch another video, the video suddenly stopped a few seconds, gave me "an error occurred" then suddenly the video began again to the place he stopped but now it was a small hook to the start/stop point (see attached image). This wouldn't be a problem if it happened once in a while, but since last night, it happens with ALL videos regardless of the length or quality. In fact, sometimes it forces me to watch it on the highest quality and makes the other options unavailable. If I try to refresh it takes a LONG or simply refreshes forever. And God forbid that I should have to other windows or tabs open when this happens because they will suddenly stop loading or get REALLY laggy. I have no choice but to watch Youtube in IE that works amazingly well and does not shit that I have just described.

    Everything is up-to-date. I deleted Max, temporary files, cookies and history. I have not downloaded or installed anything in the last 24 hours. I asked other people who use the FF on this matter and they all say it's very good so I don't know what to do anymore.

    HTML video everywhere, it is as the name of an add-on you that Firefox should use the HTML5 player for all videos from websites.

    The starting and stopping of video can be affected by a firewall or an antivirus

    Read performance of the very annoying sounds in this situation. In general, the steps of troubleshooting we can try:

    • same place his impasse: clear cookies and cache-fact
    • Make sure Flash is updated or try to reinstall the flash player-made
    • Right click on the video and disable hardware acceleration
    • The speed of the internet, it is faster to download the video to watch it?
    • Free up memory and reload the video page
    • Delete temporary internet files - Windows has built in a few tools to do this
    • If I try to update it takes a LONG or simply refreshes forever-> This is an indication that you may need to clear the cache.
    • Right-click on a video and select "Global settings" menu in advanced, clear the cache from here, and then restart the browser.
