check the tabs on quit

I'm SICK of firefox. It keeps saving my bloody tabs each time I close.

What I tried.

Starting to tick the Options: open to the home page (Google)
Restart the PC
Restart FF
Reinstall FF
Reset FF
Deleting user.js (cannot find it)

I'm at a loss to know what to do. I'm at my wits end with this.

Your user.js file would be in your profile folder. To do this, you can check in this way:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

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

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then scroll down and rename user.js to something like userjs.old.

By default, Windows hides file .js extension, so you can see a file named JScript, i.e. the user.js file type user. I suggest to force windows to display all THE file extension to make it easier to manage the change of filename. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions#show-hide-file-name-extensions=windows-7

Launch Firefox back up again. You get your homepage as expected?

  • Hide the tab bar

    Mozilla is great, but FF23 has bothered me greatly! They have removed some of the more useful features of Firefox autour (looking at you search by name)

    Hide the tab bar is more controllable, I like my screen space, but check the tabs bar disappear if I do not need. Do I need an add-on for this now? (ugh!)

    And now I can not even send comments on Input - https://input.mozilla.org because it does give me an option to save a persona Account!

    I need to give Mozilla a Tennessee to talk about this mess. What is the email address for them?

    Hello, apparently this option has been removed intentionally in preparation for a redesign of the browser which will land in firefox later this year. You can use the following extensions to work around this issue if: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/

    Question
    I can't get the tabs of the previous session of the return when I reopen it Firefox. I tried closing with 'Close' header of Firefox window, but also 'Quit' in the file Menu. Note that "Restoration of previous Session" on my Menu history is grayed out so I can't use it. In addition, there is no tab at the top of my window to open Firefox Firefox - only a menu bar that shows "File", "Edit", "View", "History", "Favorites", "Tools" and "Help". I am running Windows 7 Home Professional and Firefox 4.01

    "I can't do the tabs from the previous session of the return when I reopen it Firefox.

    Remember that you are not private browsing or they are in permanent private browsing mode. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing (2nd and 3rd options menu on this page)

    Make sure that you are not clearing history during a session or when Firefox is closed. See:

    • Clear recent history: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
    • Clear history of Firefox closing: uncheck 'Clear history of Firefox closing' options > Privacy panel (the first item under "History" on this Panel should be set on "Firefox will be: use the custom settings for history" to see that point to uncheck)

    "There is no Firefox tab at the top of my Firefox window open - only a menu bar.

    The Firefox button is supposed to be on by default in Vista and Windows 7.

    In Firefox 4, you have the choice of using the Firefox (orange or grey) button in the upper left or the menu bar (File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools.) Help).

    • The selections on the Firefox button are distinguished by the menu bar options.
    • You can easily switch between the Menu bar and the Firefox button or leave one or the other active.
    • One used depends on if the Menu bar is enabled
      • Bar menu checked = Bar Menu on, Firefox off button
      • Bar menu unchecked = Menu Bar off, Firefox button on

    When the Firefox button appears and you want to temporarily view and use the menu bar, press ALT or F10 displays the menu bar and you can make your selections in the Menu bar displayed temporarily.

    To check (or uncheck) the menu bar, do one of the following:

    • using the Firefox button: click on the Firefox button > Options > Menu bar
    • using the Menu bar: click on view > toolbars > Menu bar
    • Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing the VTM keyboard letters
  • Closed Firefox tabs without giving me a warning, even if I have checked "notify me when I close the tabs.

    So far, Firefox always pop - up would be the "danger; you are about to close x number of tabs"window when I tried closing Firefox with several tabs open. Today, however, it just closes directly on my desktop, regardless of the number of tabs are open. "Warn me when I close the tabs" checked in my menu "Tab of Options", but this still does not work. I always get warned if trying to open too many tabs at once, but he refuses to tell me when I close my tabs.

    I tried checking and unchecking options, restart the computer, checked my plugins for exceeded those (the only potential problem is Shockwave Flash 17, but the other options to aide said Shockwave Flash 16 was the problem), sought user.js and went almost all the suggestions on the forums. Nothing's worked, and at this point I'm stumped.

    (Also, I'd rather have Firefox clear my history when I go out, so just having my restored tabs when I restart Firefox is not my preferred option).

    This problem started this afternoon; It was fine earlier in the day. This is due to an update of windows, an update of Firefox, or some strange virus?

    THE SECOND UPDATE: I managed to locate the problem. Tab Mix Plus add-on is apparently not compatible with the latest Firefox update. Turn it off seems to have solved the problem for now.

  • How is it that when I set the preference to always show the tab bar, he refuses to remain activated after I have quit Firefox and restart?

    Using Mac OSX10.6.7 and FF 4.0.1 I'm having a problem with the preference to always show the tab bar. I want to show him always. I check in the preferences in the "tab" window title, and all goes well until I left FF and when I restart FF tab bar is gone again. I go into preferences, and this option is now disabled. How can I fix that my preference is saved?

    Click 'help ' | "Restart with disabled modules. In the next menu that appears, select: "reset toolbars and controls. Then click on the button called "make changes and restart".

  • When quiting Firefox 3 version you where able to save the tab that opens, is there a way to do this with Firefox 4

    When quiting Firefox 3 version you where able to save the tab that opens, is there a way to do this with Firefox 4

    On a Mac you can find it here:

    • Firefox-> Preferences-> general - > when Firefox starts: [show my windows and tabs from last time-/]

    You can use ' history > restore previous Session "for the previous session.

    There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' the default value: Home home.

  • Impossible to turn off read-only - and I already checked the Security tab

    Hello, I use Vista Ultimate.  I'm on my home computer and have full administrative rights.  Have a big problem trying to get the recovery off the power on a personal folder read-only.  It is NOT a folder on a network or is a system folder.  When I go in the folder and click on the Security tab, ALL users have full right to make any changes.    No error displayed whenever I then deselect read only on the general tab, click on or .  But when I re - open the folder and check the properties, read-only is still active.  It's driving me crazy.  HELP!?!?!?!

    And Yes, I tried this:

    "To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista

    1. Click on start, run, type cmd and press ENTER...
    2. To view the syntax for the Attrib command, Type attrib------? at the command prompt.

    To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s drive:------------

    For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s c:\test

    Be aware that some programs may not operate correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r s by car:------------

    For example, to remove both the read-only and the attributes to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r-s c:\test

    If the run command is not listed in the start menu, follow these steps:

    Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, and then click Run."


    And get an error that says: parameter Incorrect Format.

    Have you checked to see if the files in the folder are effectively read-only or if the only problem is that the file is checked in read-only?

    You may need to go higher in the chain of record because some properties are inherited (see advanced security of the folder until you come to one where the special permissions list including all permissions that are inherited for administrators or your user account). It does not stick because you don't have the permissions and/or ownership to allow you to make the change.  You must have permissions to full right for all folders (both on the main page and in the special permissions list) and you will have to take possession of the records as well.  Then change the ownership and permissions for yourself and administrators and don't forget to check the box for all files and subdirectories.  This should give you what you need to make the changes.  Here is some information that might help.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    I hope this helps.

  • Check the box features differently when using TAB and by clicking on a field

    Good afternoon

    I have a text field and a check box.

    When the user enters his name in the text box, the check box is enabled and can be clicked. When the user removes his name from the scope of the box must be empty and people with disabilities. When the user CLICKS any where else on the page this feature works. In other words, the user removes it becomes their name of the field, CLICKS, the empty checkbox (resets).

    However, when the user uses the TAB key to get out of the empty text box, the box IS NOT become empty but still becomes invalid.

    Does anyone know how to get around this problem? Is this a bug? Or is there a work around?

    Kind regards

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • The tabs are more saved on quit, browser.tabs.warnOnClose browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart, browser.showQuitWarning are all set to true
