Cannot save tabs on exit

• Version 14.0.1 won't save tabs on exit.

  All HELP articles I've found are for version 4 - I version 14. One thing you can do is put the most recent problems first, NOT the problems of there are 10 versions.

  I want the default to be ALWAYS SAVE TABS ON EXIT. This sale option, an easy place to find, like the TOOLS / OPTIONS / TABS section. It seems that this has been an ongoing problem for several versions of FIREFOX. I had it available in earlier versions, but it isn't here now. Why would you take it?

  Nothing has changed in this area of Firefox 4, so if you have found solutions for older versions you should check out them.

  In any case it seems that you want your old tabs restored, without any indication, and it is more likely that you have changed your option, if you think that it comes to be modified in version 14. Response of Verdi, specifically you want to 'show my windows and tabs from last time' where you set your homepage options, see

• FF4b10 don't ask to save tabs on exit more

  Since the update of FF4b9 beta10 FF do not ask more to save tabs open to the output. Simply, it closes at the same time and does not restore my tabs at the next startup. Is there a change in behavior or adjustment, which has changed its default value or is it just a bug in beta10? All versions of FF4 to Beta9 has worked well.

  Warning message preferences have been set to false by default in current versions of Firefox 4 beta. (Change of silly IMO.)

  You can set the preferences of warning on the subject: config page to true via the context menu or toggle with a double click of the left.

• How to restore the ability to choose whether to save tabs on exit (I need this abandoned feature.

  On my laptop, I no longer get a choice, the closing of Firefox, if to save the tabs for the next time that I open Firefox.

  I use 4 different computers. It is impossible to remember the computer on which I want to restore a previous session, then the choice of restoration when I start any computer is available doesn't help, compared to the old system, which allowed me to choose to exit, when I could clearly see if I had a session that was to be preserved.

  The intention was that you should / could use history ('Alt + S') > restore previous session after bringing to the top of Firefox.

  But this means that you must remember to do.

  You can still have the old behavior and regardless of how you answer at the end of the session, you can still get back your previous session.

• 18.0.1 version won't save tabs on exit.

  My FF was just updated today to 18.0.1 self and now when I close FF it does not save my tabs. I've always had "When FF starts" the value "show my windows and tabs from last time.

  I saw a 14.0.1 earlier problem that said delete sessionstore.js but when my FF is closed there is no sessionstore file in the folder of my FF profile. What is the problem? That does so I have a file sessionstore in fixing sessions?

• In the new Firefox 4, what happned to the Save tabs and functionality of quitting smoking, is there a way I can still use this feature?

  I just downloaded Firefox 4 and I got a problem on my Norton spyware toolbar is not incompatible, but anyway, the most important thing that makes me choose Firefox on any other web browser is that I am able to save tabs and then exit. I think it was more great things because I could run my laptop off and save energy and when I got home I'm cold to take back what I what to do. My question is simply is you never have it save tabs and leave the new service or at least a way people would turn the function on will.

  One of the changes in Firefox 4: by default Firefox 4 does not display the warning "Save tabs and exit" then to the closure of several tabs, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

  • Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.
  • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs on the output unless you're in private browsing mode. You can restore the next time by:
    1. by clicking on the Firefox button > history > "restore previous Session ', or
    2. type of Subject: House in the URL bar and press the Enter key, then press the button "restore previous Session."

• Firefox does not ask to save tabs, windows and exit

  I've done everything suggested in this article:
  https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+an...
  In 'Options' settings are ok.
  I don't have the extensions/themes. And the problem is still there on the safe mode.
  Out of the two files mentioned as maybe corrupted, I deleted formhistory.sqlite but the sessionstore.js file is not in the profile directory, the closing of Firefox (as the article suggests... it is there when Firefox is open)

  What is the start setting?

  Tools > Options > general > startup: 'when Firefox starts '.

  In Firefox 3, you don't get popup "Save and quit" dialog box if you choose Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
  
  If this option is selected then your pages will be already reopened the next time.
  
  To get this pop up dialog box, select one of the other options (display my home page, display a blank page).

  You can reset the preferences of warning on the subject: the configuration via the context menu page.

  browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
  browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

• Cannot save the no http bookmarks in firefox

  Cannot save the no http bookmarks in firefox

  Among the Favorites of standard Web sites registered on my IE toolbar, I have several of my own making html documents/pages. These start obviously by a non-http address.

  Include pages that contain an array of webcams on one page or a page that opens several sports venues each in their own tab, or strip of video covering windows live tabs stormchasing chase, weather radar, scanners of emergency etc etc.

  An address would take the format on the lines of
  'C:\Documents and Settings\All Documents\Football results and Tables\UK.html'

  Firefox insists on adding "http" before the C:\ (and unlike IE, it also adds the %20 for space.)

  Can someone help get FF to accept a favorite that is not a Web site.

  It's ok I just solved it me, waived the need to type %20 for each space.

  Need to add before c: the following

  file:\\\

  So a sample address

• Since the installation of 4.0.1 I can't do a right-click on the icon in my taskbar and have Firefox give me the option "close and save" tabs. Only let's me know, I'm about to close several tabs. How to make 'save & close' return?

  Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar of my computer and press on the window. He would then give me the option to "save the tabs and exit" or "close all tabs".
  Now he comes and tells me I'm going to close several tabs.

  It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all the tabs in place. There is nothing more annoying than to have several tabs lost because your computer has is an update of the day overnight and restarted. It is also useful when you want to run a tun - up or cleaner who asked that closing your browser for best results.

  How to make 'save and exit' return?

  Thank you

  Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."

  If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
  4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning

  If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

  1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
  2. Go to the general Panel
  3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
