"Closing Windows.

Similar Questions

• What should I do if "Recently closed Windows" shows nothing?

  Today, I came across a very unusual problem. I was surfing the web and click on a url and it said to open it in a new tab. Instead of display 'Sign in', he showed a tab that was totally Virgin I clicked several times more and I duplicated the process. In addition, the X to close the tabs had disappeared as well. Not sure what to do I just closed the window entirely. I had a second window open, so I had to still Firefox will. When I flew over "Recently closed tabs", he showed the closed tabs that came from the second window in the box that pops out. I thought that 'Ok, everything looks very good." I then on "Recently closed Windows" and absolutely nothing jumped out. No box or anything like that. I tried to restart, but got the same result. I even tried to open a new window and go to something in the Favorites and closed the window. Still nothing.

  This has me very confused.

  I use Firefox on Ubuntu 14.04.2 39.0

  After a few farm unexpectedly launches of Firefox and it suddenly works again. Very strange.

• 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!

• change the number of recently closed windows, firefox remembers

  Hi, I want to increase the number of windows recently closed, who remembers to Firefox. Currently, he remembers three recently closed windows, but often when I click on hypertext links (no pop ups) they open automatically in a new window, which functionally removes the registration of windows I had open and he wanted to see again... that now they are gone, apparently forever. Is there some settings to change that? I don't need or want that Firefox remember my entire browsing history, I just want to be able to return on the 6 or 7 windows recently closed because 3 is not sufficient. Thank you.

  By default, Firefox stores only 10 "previously closed tabs" out the window and 3 'previously closed windows.' To increase these values:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo and enter your preferred Windows (I have 10).

  (4) If you want, double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and enter your favorite number of tabs (I have 20).

• Failed to retrieve the recently closed windows browser tabs

  Yesterday, when I was not bothered just opening my browser, I opened a tab next to him do a little homework, and without thinking, I closed the browser with the last browser as well, which means I lost all my information from that, but didn't know until the next day.

  I had this kind of problems before, but I could watch my story, then re - open my window closed recently. This time, however when I tried to do the same thing the next day that the 'closed window' was grey, as if she did not save the things that I did not open before and the worst, it's that I've lost probably close or more than 200 tablets and this is not laugh, because all the things I had before were things that I was now and save for months until I went to use it.

  I tried to find a solution by looking at my story earlier and from back, but most of the information I had had been kept for a few months, which means that I can't check it out.

  Could I possibly want to ask you to find a solution for me please because this has gotten me very depressed that I can't get back the things I love as long as lose it depressed me to the point that I lied on my bed for a few hours without sleep.

  Thank you.

  Hi Firemonkey008, I guess the .bak file looks like a good candidate for the missing session very recently. That's what we hope to find. Yes, it's that you rename sessionstore.js to. You must rename or delete the existing sessionstore.js first, or Windows will not let you do the name change.

• Empty windows appear in the recently closed Windows list

  Recently, I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1. (It seems that he could have two updates on the same day or after the other very short, but I'm not sure of him. I will be reminding upgrades of multiple instances of Firefox, all this same version. Thus, it * could * be true that this problem has arisen with this version or a recent previous version.)

  Since the upgrade, empty windows appear in the list of recently closed Windows (RCWL). I try to keep the clean list, so when I'm done with a window holding sites I know I don't want to go back, I close all the tabs in the window, leaving an unused new tab *, and then close the window. These windows should not be included in the RCWL, but they are now.

  [* I put new tabs to about: blank so that they will load the pages automatically.]

  Since this standard behavior change comes with an upgrade, and since I can't find any reference to it elsewhere, including the Support of Mozilla, I suspect that it may be a new bug.

  In troubleshooting, I tried deleting the list recently closed in these windows and tabs. I've never had before, but it seemed worth trying and as something that might have been relevant. I thought that perhaps a window would not "Save as really empty ' if it had recently closed tabs in the list. This tactic did not work.

  I also tried to start Firefox in Mode safe, the reopening of all the RCWL, each one tab - a 'new tab' in all cases - closing then close each window. They always appear in the RCWL.

  Please let me know if I can (or need to) provide additional information. Thanks for any help!

  Try to set the browser.newtab.url pref to about: blank so currently, you do not use this parameter.

• Put into service takes more than 15 minutes. Stop is worse. It hangs at "closing Windows" regardless of the programs that I run is extremely slowly.

  I ran virus scan, microsoft fixed, but the problem persists.

  Well, I think you don't like it, but the first thing to do is to eliminate by using their special tools Norton Uninstall program:

  https://www-secure.Symantec.com/Norton-support/JSP/help-solutions.jsp?LG=English&CT=United+States&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&PVID=f-home

  Now, you might think I be without protection and get some bad things on my computer, but you just want to see how things are going without it.  Just don't visit WWW stupid or silly sites, where you can pick up some virus or malware and you can always install a new copy, but I think it's a big headache for you now.

  It might be out of date, too many options of protection installed, etc.  More protection is not always better, and you will pay for it in the performance of the system with the more stuff you add.

  Then when Norton is gone, proceed as follows:

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

  Consider instead of Microsoft Security Essentials or Norton - he did a good job.

  We must eliminate what can cause problems, so I'd start with Norton.  You can put it back later if you want, but you need to see how things are going without it.  Moving things to a good operating system that you are happy with first.

  Eliminate potential problems one at a time and test thing out... one thing at a time.

  Symantec/Norton is you biggest problem right now.

  Check your NVIDIA drivers:

  I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

  It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

  Here is the address of the NVIDIA page:
  http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

  Read the instructions, and then click the DRIVERS GRAPHICS button to start scan and answered in the affirmative, if asked to install the plugin required to run the NVIDIA scan.

  Get rid of Norton.

  UPDATE!
  
  OK because here we have the ball, I'm changing it to better reflect what is happening. The links below are some of the hundreds of post, will find you on the internet about this Aero lag. Some offer workarounds and some are not. I just googled Aero Lag and it was on the first page.

  If you have the same problem, please provide:

  1. what kind of graphics card you have.
  2. what kind of driver are you using (Win7 preinstalled or drivers from the manufacturer)
  3. your version of Win7 has an update or a clean installation.
  4. what motherboard you have.

  From the sounds of it, Microsoft is looking for a solution.

  I also ask for the forum administrator to make a sticky like many people is facing this problem.

  Solved my problem with Aeor lag.

  Reinstall Windows 7 U64 twice with the new/old driver.
  Replaced Gforce 8800GTX with Gforce GTX480.
  Spent several days on this problem without solution.

  But here's a very simple solution that works for me.

  I removed the USB extension cablefor my CreativeHS - 1200WirelessUSB Gaming Headset.

  Aero lags when extension Iused USB and headphone load.
  Without extension USB cable, all right.

  So he thinks it's a USB extension cable voltagedrop, forces the system to lag. ?

  Hope this can help.
  Sincerely,

• F4240 - when new closing window in Explorer, windows closed the two explorers and send error msg Ms.

  Recently, I downloaded the drivers for a F4240. Since that time, when the browser opens a new Explorer (window)? (for example an e-mail messages or links) after the closing of the new window (msg, link, etc.) then the two explorers stops and the msg "Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" is displayed and close the two explorers.

  I know that this is the cause, because I uninstalled the software (problem solved) and reinstalled... problem returns.

  Very frustrating. Help, please.

  Thank you, Randy

• DEP closing Windows Explorer in windows XP error

  My computer is running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. I get "Windows Explorer has been closed in error DEP". System seems usually hangs at this point and after some time, comes back with a "recovered from a serious error message" how to solve this? Is it "compatible DEP" copy of the Windows Explorer pane? It occurs once after I have start the system. After it passes by him once, it seems to do very well.

  First of all, it would be good to know why you didn't have not upgraded your system to Service Pack 3, which is more than 3.5 years.  SP3 contains many updates and security patches applied, can relieve your system of this affection.

  Check out the fixes in SP3 here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946480

  Is not not wanting to work on Service Packs with obsolete systems (given that the question may have already been fixed with the SP3 update), I'll give you some general information on troubleshooting the errors of the DEP in Windows Explorer.

  First try to reduce the risk of a malware infection by doing this:

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  Restart your computer and only then to solve the remaining problems.

  If you have DEP errors, it will be useful to see if you can reproduce the error on request.

  DEP in Windows Explorer errors appear generally when click with the right button on folders or files and try to perform an action in the list right click for options.  If you can reproduce at will, then when you perform an adjustment, if you no longer see the error DEP, you will know that you have thought about it.

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song...).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the column header for Microsoft sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are on top and easy to see.

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.
  You can Google something like:

  Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on.)

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5 at a time), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know that an extension of this group of 3-5 is the culprit in order to start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Don't forget - disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled so you can always turn it on again.

  Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.
