Browser wants to open 150 tabs and windows at startup...

In the process of cleaning up my office, I have switched my keyboard. I got the browser window open to ESPN3 in a replay of College football. My keyboard is a keyboard shortcut to open new tabs. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the shortcut key declined over 150 times, opening a new tab for each. In addition, each tab to open a new window pop up game. I opened the Task Manager and stop the process. When opening Firefox again, it automatically opens all tabs and windows again before I can do anything. So... after the termination of the process down again once I restarted the computer. And now, the same thing happens early upward. so... Shut the computer down. Same thing. so... I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Same thing again. I am at a loss. Please advise!

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that stores the session data.
Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

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

  • How can I restore my tabs and windows, open or closed, when all else fails?

    It's not so much a question, an answer that some people desperately need.

    Since the Version 34, Firefox has done a superb job to restore the tabs created by the user, application or restart Firefox (if this option is chosen).

    The details of how to restore the tabs are covered using base online and even Firefox how to deal with several accidents now (for example, as an addon) ruin the normal backup file are also well explained.

    However, today I accidentally pressed Alt + F4 twice on my keyboard ill-conceived and closed my main window, with 93 tabs and another window of Firefox as well. I'm not sure that's exactly what happened, but I lost all my tabs 93.

    I read a lot of posts where people give suggestions, but none worked. Whenever I've restored a sessionstore.js file version saw the same lonely empty tab Restoring prefs.js did nothing, and not more than to changes in internal configuration constants.

    I tried refreshing / reset Firefox (which preserves the bookmarks), but I couldn't always restore the tabs. It was now clear that the problem was in sessionstore.js (and all its backups) for sure.

    I write for people who must restore their windows or tabs and don't mind be technical on this subject. This is my situation.

    The solution was to realize that the sessionstore.js file contains the JSON code, which is an effective way to represent integers and strings arranged in a tree structure.

    I thought that there must be a JSON Editor somewhere and it turns out there is a great available online, at www.jsoneditoronline.org . It can read a file on your computer, edit it, then save it to your computer.

    As soon as I read sessionstore.js in the editor, it was obvious, easy how this was going to be. The top level of the tree is understandable. Simply, I grabbed the data representing the window with 93 tabs and dragged in the list of the closed windows of Firefox in the list of open windows. This automatically moved the history of each tab and even strings entered in forms.

    After copying sessionstore.js to Firefox profile, I started Firefox once more. Reading Pandora reported that my tabs were back and running once more.

    Now, change the JSON code isn't something that everyone is ready for. And your problem may not be reflected in the JSON tree so simply. But, for the technical spirit of people who do not want to lose their tabs or windows to a mistake or an accident, this technique may be just what it takes when all else fails.

    This seems very practical. Make itself comfortable. A kind of backup would be
    Create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager and make a list of links here.

    Just a note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
    are open. Because the window with 90 tabs has been closed in the first place, then the
    other, that's what caused the problem.

    Please change the title of the post by adding == solved == to it. Others may think
    you ask for help, not offering is not a solution.

  • How can I delete the history, except the tabs and windows open?

    Hi, I don't find a way to remove all my firefox history, except the tabs and windows open.
    I couldn't find any solution on the Web. I have tried almost all the settings in the privacy settings, nothing works. any ideas how to do that, or maybe suggestions for Add ons?

    As long as you clear the history manually and not through 'Clear history of Firefox closing' then you must keep open tabs and windows.

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

    Hi I_GHall

     

    It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.

     

    If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

    They do not appear on the history of the Firefox button entry, but they are always on the menu background traditional, accessible by pressing Alt and S.
