Customization is lost when I restart Firefox

Recently, my computer blue-screened and directed a memory dump. Since then, all my customization options seem to have been lost - for example:

  • Firefox not working when I open a new window
  • All my expansion options (each extension home page opens and asks me to agree to ways to addon
  • My character returns to the default value
  • My menu bar customizations are lost.

Whenever I get close and re-open Firefox, the same thing happens again. All personalization data seems to be temporary.

Check your profile directory that you do not have the additional files for these files as prefs.js as with (1) (2) (3) included in the name of the file if a file cannot be rewritten because it is write protected. To open your profile directory using about: support type in your location bar and click 'open containing folder '.

  • I removed some of the buttons on my toolbar, but they keep reappearing when I restart Firefox.

    I have already reset Firefox to its default setting and now I'm trying to customize it again to go back the way I had it. But every time after I remove the navigation toolbar buttons they reappear when I restart Firefox. The buttons are for the addon of readability and I disabled the in the settings of the addon, but I want that they disappeared from the toolbar altogether.

    The solution above did not work for me. So I tried this instead.

    Go about: config and find the browser.uiCustomization.stateflag. In its value (a string) remove any entry that has "readability" inside (it should be three of them for the three buttons).

    Click OK and restart FF and the buttons will remain deleted.

    Good luck.

  • I want to launch Firefox with a blank page, BUT when I restart firefox, it loads the homepage

    I have reset start empty, but there is not.

    So just to confirm, in the general Panel of the Options page, you set

    "When Firefox starts: display a blank page.

    And when you close the Options page and open it again, your bet is still there.

    But when you close Firefox and run it again, it has changed to:

    "When Firefox starts: show my home page".

    There are a number of possible reasons for Firefox to lose your changes of parameters between session. Software that is designed to protect you against unwanted changes you blocks actually make changes sought. This includes Advanced SystemCare, and some other utility/privacy/security software with a 'navigation protection' or a 'protection home page"feature.

    This article has other possible explanations: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    If you find that Firefox remembers not change between visits on the Options page: you can have a different problem, as a generally unwanted program named SearchProtect who should be removed from the Windows Control Panel or a configuration file 'automatic' which locks your start setting. We can help you to further explore that if this seems to be the behavior.

  • The last tab, further to the right, does not load when you restart FireFox.

    Whenever I restart firefox, the last tab that I had opened does not load. The issue of restarting can be any: add new installed firefox, new update, restart the browser manually, or restart my computer for firefox automatically closes. It's always the same problem. The last tab appears, as my page, new tab, which is empty. I have 3 tabs open and the first 2 will load fine, but not the last. This means that if I restart for an add-on or something, I need to return to my story to go back the last tab, which is annoying. And it may not have been my most recent tab. I can open this last tab, go back to the tab previous surfing the web on this subject, my story of the building and then restart firefox for some reason any. In these cases, I need to open the history window and dig for the last tab of the memory.

    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).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
  • Firefox Sync settings are lost when you restart the Android device, is this normal?

    I use Firefox Beta v14 for Android.

    After a restart of the Android device, synchronization settings are lost, nothing in the settings 'account and synchronization '.

    Sorry to hear that Firefox is losing your sync account. You have installed Firefox for Android onto an SD card? We are tracking the reports like yours to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768102. We believe that Android itself is deleting accounts when the Firefox application is installed on the SD card. Can you check if Firefox is installed on an SD card?

  • Save my tabs when Firefox is closed so that they are always there when I restart Firefox

    You have to use restore on my computer recently and once I did, Firefox seems to have lost the ability to save the tabs that I had opened since the last time that I used it, do not remember how it was configured to save tabs after each session. Also restore previous session was grayed out on then the previous session was not guarded, was able to recover some of the tabs looking through my story, right now I can't just close Firefox and open it to my previous tabs, it starts a new session. Will be closed in the future Firefox until a solution is found from my task manager, because it usually allows me to restore the previous Firefox tabs because it acts as an accident.

    Normally, Firefox saves your open windows and tabs that you will when your browser crashes, so it can restore your session automatically. To get Firefox to do this each time that you start, you can set that in the Options page. See: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    If Firefox does not always restore your session, check the Options page Privacy panel to ensure that:

    (1) you authorize Firefox saves history
    (2) you may not erase history at the stop

  • After following all THE procedures to change my homepage when I restart Firefox, the previous home page is still showing.

    At some point in the past, I have installed Bear Share. I removed from my programs (and checked it's gone), but whenever I run Firefox, "search.bearshare.com" appears as the home page. Any ideas as to what is happening?

    See:

    You can search for a program "Mediabar" under "Control Panel > programs and features.

  • I switched speed by half. When I restarted Firefox it tries to connect to every web page of my previous session to refresh the pages. This choking my connection. How can I stop this action of auto-refresh? Thank you.

    I want my new session to reload my web pages of the previous session of THE CACHE and do not try to reload on every page of the internet. I can start Firefox with the modem disconnected to avoid this problem, but this can take 3 to 5 minutes for Firefox to open this way. (I see the modem flashes as Firefox attempts to connect at this time). If my 56.6 modem is connected, it should be > 60 minutes. (28.8 is the highest speed available in rural areas).

  • Color Developer Edition theme lost when I run sync and restarted, how to retrieve?

    I started using Firefox Developer Edition and I turned on sync so I can sync it with the current version of Firefox I have used so far. Synchronization worked fine, but when I restarted Firefox, the developer edition came with the non developer edition version look of Firefox. I went in the framework of customization and turned on "Use Firefox Developer Edition Theme" and it changed everything except the color. Rather than be the default black that it was originally installed with, now uses the default gray color which is the default value for the version not developer. How can I get the developer edition look of Firefox to its default appearance?

    I was actually able to understand this question. The problem was not with Firefox themes, it had to do with the theme of developer tool bar. He used the Firebug theme and not the default theme.

    If you go into the developer tool bar options can change the theme here that affects the whole browser (instead of just the toolbar) developer chrome.

  • Gow I stop Firefox from opening a Web site that crashed or stop it when I restart?

    Sometimes a Web site is not responding, I close firefox manually, usually a c; tab dare on my windows pc. When I restart firefox, it goes back to this site, rather than 'well, it's embarrassing...'. y at - it a way to stop this. When I close my firefos, I have it set to clear the history. You helpr oe can shed some light?
    Thank you.

    Firefox will automatically try to restore the tabs and windows from last session if an accident occurred or Firefox does not close properly the last time.
    If the session blocks once, then you will get the page "well, it's embarrassing" (topic: sessionrestore) the next time you start Firefox.
    You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a collision has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

    This way, you see if the previous session is not close properly or it crashed and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
    If you cannot start Firefox, then you can add this line to the file prefs.js to prevent Firefox to restore the last session automatically.
    user_pref ("browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes", 0);

  • Firefox insists on going to my last tabs consulted when I restart it instead of my home page. I checked in tools, etc.

    When I restarted Firefox it will on sites that were active when I closed rather than my home page and the tabs. I checked on the general tab of the Tools menu, and it is defined correctly for my homepage. I also tried to reinstall firefox. but he's still the previous sites. This product even when I shut down and restart the computer.

    How to go to my home page when I start it.

    If you have already tried restore session Configuration then disable all modules disable removal of modules , then check if it will be resolved, if nothing works then reset Firefox, which fixed the problem.
