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.

  • 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 messages appear in the junk e-mail folder

    Hello

    Strange empty messages are appearing in my junk e-mail folder. These messages have NO content, NO subject, NO sender and a weird date (1970). These messages are NOT from my server. If I empty my "junk" folder, they disappear, but reappear after half a day or more. They are automatically classified as spam (I also use the Junqilla plugin).

    They're not a disaster, but so strange, I'm afraid they are a symptom of something worse...

    Do all the files that you use or access appear automatically in the folder "recently changed"? Can you stop the files to be indexed in this file?  I also have files that I've trashed and yet they still appear in the recently changed folder.  What can I do about it?  Can I change the properties to stop this archiving of my story?

    There is no list. The system will search the index file and creates it each time you click the search folder. Everything is stored in the search folder are the instructions on how to perform the search.

    The index should contain only references to the files that have been deleted. Maybe now you have reset those will stop to reappear.

  • After reloading fonts do not appear in the tab character

    I had to reload after graduating the new hard drive and cannot get font appears in the Type character. They appear in the Type drop-down list, but not under window/type/character. I've deleted preferences and .lst files. I deleted windows/system32/fontcache and restarted. It has happened once before, after a reload and don't remember the solution.
