Cannot restore my tabs from a previous session. I closed my browser. Here's what happened:

(a) I opened Firefox a totally blank page (without tab or anything like that), and a title bar (which I normally do not have) says "Mozilla Start Page.
(b) I closed and reopened Firefox again, and my previous session was missing. The two places were you can restore your previous session of grayed out.
(c) according to the instructions provided to other users, I went my sessionstore.js file. I didn't have one at all, so I created a change of name previous.js. Sessionstore.bak would be no help, as it was created when I have opened my browser.
(d) of course, because I didn't have an origin sessionstore.js work, thus creating one did not.
(e) before you ask, Yes, I have "restore my tabs from last time" configured.

Any ideas? I would like to help, please!

In rare cases, an update may fail completely replace the old files of version with the new version of the files in the program folder. This can lead to a range of inexplicable failure. Another explanation is available, could you answer that using:

Clean reinstall it

We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

(1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

(2) close Firefox (if applicable).

(3) to rename the program folder, either:

(Windows 64-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox

(Windows 32-bit folder names)

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox

TO

C:\Program Files\OldFirefox

(4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

No improvement after this reinstall?

Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • By clicking on an icon home re - opens a lot of tabs from a previous session, even if I closed with "Exit and save" with only two legs

    For the comm.

    I'm a little frustrated. I had a session with maybe 20 open tabs. I closed the browser by selecting just "Quit". Whenever a new start, all these tabs open again. So - I delete them all and let two tabs open. My home page and my email page say. Then I left and select "Save and Quit".

    I start again - and all is well. Only two tabs there. I support on ^ T to open another tab. Do something and get tired of deicide both to display my home page in this tab - so I click on the Home icon below the menu bar - and guess what - all those f * k 20. tablets reappear remember all these ugly sites I looked at weeks.

    This problem started when I refreshed recently Fire Fox due to other problems I had. Options > general > fire fox on startup is set to 'show my home page ". In the support forum, I found another user with the same problem and the solution for him had to do with the user.js file in the profile folder? Subject: config? In any case, the answer was to delete that file, or better yet delete all the text in it and save this file empty and set it to read only to prevent it from reappearing. That's all beyond me and my skinny computer knowledge and I don't even know if I have a user.js file. Help, please

    My problem is now solved. I don't know if there's someone else out there who would do what I did, but just in case, I'll tell you at the end of the day, what was causing the multiple tabs to open every time I opened Firefox, at least as far as I understand. While I contemplated the helpful response more returned hoping to understand what was wrong with my Firefox, my son has shown out of town and 5 minutes, he found out what I did wrong. In Options > general > Home Page, I got an address which included not only the home page I wanted 'Google News', but apparently the addresses of all the other tabs this guarded appearance until when I started towards the top of Firefox. Maybe it's not exactly the right explanation, but change the homepage to "News.google.fr" solved the problem. Thanks to everyone out there who gave their best to help me, I'm sure it's hard to solve problems like that when he would never come to you that someone would do the things they do. Thanks again.

  • How to re - activate the functions 'Restore previous Session', "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed Windows" in the menu of history?

    For some time, four choices in the restore section (tabs of other devices, Previous Session Restore recently closed tabs and recently closed Windows) have been shaded. Keyboard shortcuts do not work, and didn't undo closed tab in the context menu of the tab.

    I found and tried various patches to do this, including:

    • From Firefox in Mode safe without addons.
    • Firefox reset.
    • Change the values of browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in all: config.
    • Check to see if I have a user.js in profile Firefox. (I don't).
    • Verify that the private browsing is not the default mode. (It is not).
    • Create a profile to see if it had the same problem. (He did.)
    • Running anti-malware analysis. (BitDefender and SpyBot).
    • Temporarily disable my anti-virus and anti-malware.

    Any of these solve my problems.

    Other devices tab is grayed out, but I've never used, and it might have previously grayed out.

    The story works in general. Sites I visit are added to the log.

    Preferences are saved correctly when I change them.

    Any advice on how to solve the problem would be much appreciated, as I am very fond of these features and often served until they stopped working.

    ADDITIVE

    After that looking through the list of preferences of change created by the resolution of the problems, I tried now also reset the following text:

    • browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion
    • browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
    • Browser.cache.Disk.Capacity
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.first_run
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.use_old_max
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size_cached_value

    The problem persists.

    I finally managed to understand this. In searching the Web, I found a thread detailing a similar problem on the Mozillazine forum. The problem has been identified as a missing browser.sessionstore.enabled set, so I went looking in Subject: config and couldn't find it. After creating the entry, by assigning the value true and restart Firefox, the functions of recovery/recently started working again. Apparently, some bookmark plugins and session-based can cause this problem, but in my case, it must have been something else, that I never had no such plug-ins installed.

    If you have this problem, here's a detailed itinerary of the way I fixed it. Whereas there seems to be several problems that can cause restore/recently functions to stop working, it is not a guaranteed fix, but it is still a thing to try, at least.

    1. Open a new tab or window.
    2. Type of topic: config address in the box and press ENTER.
    3. Read reviews and promise to be careful.
    4. Copy this: browser.sessionstore.enabled - and paste in Subject: config'search box in s. press ENTER.
    5. If you copied the text at the top right, the setting should appear in the list. If it is not the case, you have the same problem, I did. (I would say that you copy/paste the text indicated and only this text before moving on to double check).
    6. If the parameter does not exist, right click on the parameters of the list and choose new-> Boolean. Paste the parameter name that you copied previously in the name box, click OK and then set the Boolean true. Once you have click OK, restart Firefox, and (hopefully) things should work properly again.

    Thanks to everyone who offered help and thoughts!
