At startup, Firefox still displays my windows and labels last time, even though I have selected the option to view my homepage.
Question: Although my option is to show my home page at startup, Firefox still displays my my windows and tabs from last time.
More details:
I use Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Windows Pro 10 and Firefox v 40.0.2
I chose option to start Firefox to display my home page. Please see attached screenshot. The homepage is the Mozilla Firefox Start Page. However I tried other sites such as www.cognizant.com, www.cnn.com.
I also tried to start by selecting a blank page. Always on starting Firefox displays the windows and tabs from last time.
I also deleted the (renamed) prefs.js file and restarted firefox. This step NOT solved this problem.
Help, please. Thank you
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.
The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Windows hides certain default file extensions.
Among them .html and .ini and .js and .txt, and you can see only a file name without file extension.
You can check the file extension (type) in the file properties in Windows Explorer via the context menu.

I select a bookmark and it will open in a new tab not even though I have selected
I selected the option to open the bookmark in a new tab, but it does that
Hi, as far as I know, bookmarks cannot be opened in a new tab automatically. However this add-on - Open bookmarks in a new tab will do it for you.
Alternatively, you can click the mouse wheel. Or, right click > open in a new tab. Or, hold down the Ctrl key when you click.
Hope that helps.

Even thought is selected the option ' when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time "I always have the default page of Firefox.
Hi Goldie_,
I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.
Hope this helps!

I want to 'Firefox Focus' for 10 Windows and macOS Sierra! can you do this?
I really want to use a version of 'Firefox Focus' for 10 Windows and macOS Sierra! I don't know I'm not the only one, my friends told me that they would like 'Firefox Focus' on their computer. I wanted to know that if there is a technical reason any you don't do this?
Do you mean this app for iOS devices: what is Firefox focus?
On iOS, Mozilla can not release a full Firefox version, so he pulled some products including some of the features of Firefox. If you have Firefox on Mac OS or Windows, these privacy features Focus should be built in and you do not need a separate application of the update.

I installed the download tool usb/dvd windows 7, but after you have selected the iso file when I insert the USB stick and refrecing, it does show that "no usb drive compatible' what is the problem with my USB
I have sandisk cruzer blade USB key
Hi Rohit,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum. I understand that your USB drive is having problems of compatibility with your computer, but I would like to learn more about the issue in order to provide you with better assistance.
- You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
- When do you get exactly the error message?
- Have you tried to connect to any other computer on this flash drives?
- Your USB key works on other computers or have you tried to connect to different USB ports on this computer?
- Is the pen drive getting detected in the case or you are able to access the drive folder in the window of the computer ?
The question may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged, or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows. This can also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.
- Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
- Diagnose and automatically fix the Windows USB problems
If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.
Method 2:
Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.
- Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
- Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
- Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.
If the problem persists, go to method 3.
Method 3:
This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.
- Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
- Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
- Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
- If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
- If you are prompted, restart your computer.

I installed KB263380 KB2572073 and KB2518864 three times with success; However, I get the yellow shield saying that I need to update to Windows XP
I ran the Mr Fixit for this problem, and briefly, the yellow shield disappeared, I thought that it worked. But as soon as I clicked the solution worked and Mr. Fixit was gone, the yellow shield came back and said that I have to update these once again.Thanks for the article. The icon stopped appearing after the third time I've updated from Windows. Someone must have solved the problem to Microsoft. I did nothing except reboot several times. Finally, the Update icon went in itself.

Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to the internet even though I have full WiFi access.
Original title: Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to internet even though I have full WiFi access-problem occurred just after working fine for over a year
Uses Windows 8.1 for over a year with no access to the internet. Today, I can access is no longer the internet using Explorer, Mozilla Fire Fox or store apps. (Tried to install a game just to test the internet connection-no luck). When I try to connect the computer just sits there with the indicator connection just spin but never passes through. I have good indicated WiFi (Internet) access. While they inspected the updates, the only thing that appears on the current date is some Microsoft Silverlight is. Could that that may cause my problem? I didn't do any changes and have no problem until today. I'm not always well informed in this area and I am at a total loss as to how to proceed, what to check... hope someone can advise me. Thank you, DebbieG211
Hi Debbie,.
You might face this problem because of wrong settings in Internet Explorer. You mentioned that you get the update of windows Microsoft Silverlight, so we can deduce that there is a problem with the Internet browser. Please write us with the following details.
(1) do you get error messages when all websites fail to load?
(2) what is the brand and model of your computer?
Why can't I connect to the Internet?
