  For the comm.

  I'm a little frustrated. I had a session with maybe 20 open tabs. I closed the browser by selecting just "Quit". Whenever a new start, all these tabs open again. So - I delete them all and let two tabs open. My home page and my email page say. Then I left and select "Save and Quit".

  I start again - and all is well. Only two tabs there. I support on ^ T to open another tab. Do something and get tired of deicide both to display my home page in this tab - so I click on the Home icon below the menu bar - and guess what - all those f * k 20. tablets reappear remember all these ugly sites I looked at weeks.

  How to set the home page

• Cannot restore my tabs from a previous session. I closed my browser. Here's what happened:

  (a) I opened Firefox a totally blank page (without tab or anything like that), and a title bar (which I normally do not have) says "Mozilla Start Page.
  (b) I closed and reopened Firefox again, and my previous session was missing. The two places were you can restore your previous session of grayed out.
  (c) according to the instructions provided to other users, I went my sessionstore.js file. I didn't have one at all, so I created a change of name previous.js. Sessionstore.bak would be no help, as it was created when I have opened my browser.
  (d) of course, because I didn't have an origin sessionstore.js work, thus creating one did not.
  (e) before you ask, Yes, I have "restore my tabs from last time" configured.

  Any ideas? I would like to help, please!

  In rare cases, an update may fail completely replace the old files of version with the new version of the files in the program folder. This can lead to a range of inexplicable failure. Another explanation is available, could you answer that using:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  No improvement after this reinstall?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• When Firefox starts, my last pinned tab focus by default, instead of the home page.

  Something I have observed since at least for now it is as if I have more than one pinned tab, and I close Firefox and start it again (it's designed to open my default home page), my "targeted" default tab is the tab to the right. If I have a pinned tab, the homepage is door as it should.

  I tried from Firefox with a - safe-mode and got the same result, from a new profile however did not seem to see the problem, so my problem is limited to this profile (but at the same time, has nothing to do with my extensions).

  I remember not to make any changes to the browser by myself (I'm careful about this, so I'm sure that on this topic). Whatever the problem is, it has crept in also.

  I tried to reset slightly changed to the topic: entries in config I have, but have had no solution and it's a minor annoyance, but it leads me into the wall because if I have a home page, I expect to be open when I start the browser!

  Problem seems to have been set on update to Firefox 16 beta 2.

• How (really) to stop the tabs from loading at startup until the user clicks.

  I googled. I have read so many answers and tried them all.

  Browser.sessionstore.Restore *.
  Browser.Tabs.Load *.

  None of the related responses actually prevents firefox from loading tabs (home | homepage |) Home page) at startup.

  Then please. As I was five, and in order to preserve for posterity, someone explain how to stop firefox from loading tabs of the homepage automatically at startup. I want to load them when I click on it, or if I close the tab, for not otherwise materially affect the time of start/loan.

  I'm going to mark as resolved to close, but really, I guess I decided it is insoluble. The answer to "How to stop tabs on the home page of loading in the background" is really "why would you do that?

  Mainly, I want to do because I use extra home pages and reminders "view" soon If I bookmark something that he is likely to be forgotten and lost, whereas if I at least see the tab every time I start firefox, I'll deal with it later. I'll have to change this behavior, though, I suppose.

  Browser.sessionstore*-

  My understanding of these parameters after having read the other questions, it's that they don't affect the loading, which were finally open family home page and will be reopened on a new start tabs only if you have firefox set to operate in this way. (Which I did not - if I close a session with 9 tabs, they went and the next start will generate just my home page tabs).

• Several variables from the session to the login page

  Hey there, I have to point out that I use ASP for several years and am trying to start a transition to PHP. I'm kinda stuck and I don't know that there is a simple solution for this. After a login page, I go to my home page. When you are at the homepage depending on the status you are given i.e. level 1, 2 etc.

  Dreamweaver gives you the code to start a page and I seem to be able to capture the session variable 'MM_Username' on the start page, but in my setup, that's your name. Of course there could be a lot of 'Fred' out there so you need the info from the first name field. How to capture the session password or create a new session for password, so when I'm filtering the session on the page following I can use several variables as what follows must match the user name, password, address, etc?

  In asp is was easy. I started just a session variable capture since the names of the fields username and password. Like this:

  < % session ("NomUtilisateur1") = request ("username") % >

  < % session ("password1") = request ("pass") % >

  My session would be NomUtilisateur1, password1, and I would like to sort out.

  In PHP how would I do a similar thing? Help please!

  Here's the code generated from Dreamweaver.

  <? PHP
  If (! function_exists ("GetSQLValueString")) {}
  function GetSQLValueString ($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
  {
  If (via PHP_VERSION < 6) {}
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc()? stripslashes ($TheValue): $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists ("mysql_real_escape_string")? mysql_real_escape_string ($TheValue): mysql_escape_string ($theValue);

  Switch ($theType) {}
  case 'text ':
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? « " ». $theValue. "" "": "NULL";
  break;
  case "long":
  case "int":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? intval ($TheValue): 'NULL ';
  break;
  case "double":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? doubleVal ($TheValue): 'NULL ';
  break;
  case "date":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? « " ». $theValue. "" "": "NULL";
  break;
  case "set":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? $theDefinedValue: $theNotDefinedValue;
  break;
  }
  Return $theValue;
  }
  }
  ? >
  <? PHP
  Validate request to connect to this site.
  If (! isset {})
  session_start();
  }

  $loginFormAction = $_SERVER ['PHP_SELF'];
  If (isset($_GET['accesscheck'])) {}
  $_SESSION ['PrevUrl'] = $_GET ['accesscheck"];
  }

  If (isset($_POST['username'])) {}
  $loginUsername = $_POST ['username'];
  $password = $_POST ["password"];
  $MM_fldUserAuthorization = "";
  $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "/ support/startpageSQL.php";
  $MM_redirectLoginFailed = ' / test2.php ';
  $MM_redirecttoReferrer = false;
  @mysql_select_db ($database_toyosupport, $toyosupport);
  
  $LoginRS__query = sprintf ("SELECT name, password AND password entry WHERE name = %s is %s",
  GetSQLValueString ($loginUsername, "text"), GetSQLValueString ($password, "text"));
  
  $LoginRS = mysql_query ($LoginRS__query, $toyosupport) or die (mysql_error ());
  $loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows ($LoginRS);
  If {($loginFoundUser)
  $loginStrGroup = "";
  
  If (via PHP_VERSION > = 5.1) {session_regenerate_id (true) ;} else {session_regenerate_id() ;}
  Declare two session variables and assign them
  $_SESSION ["MM_Username"] = $loginUsername;
  $_SESSION ["MM_UserGroup"] = $loginStrGroup;

  If (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) & & false) {}
  $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION ["PrevUrl"];
  }
  Header ("Location:".) $MM_redirectLoginSuccess);
  }
  else {}
  Header ("Location:".) $MM_redirectLoginFailed);
  }
  }
  ? >

  To make this work it turned out to be very simple. at the login page, I simply used:

  <>

  This is to set session values.

  $_SESSION ['username'] = $_POST ['username'];

  $_SESSION ['pass_word'] = $_POST ["password"];

  ?>

  After all the code from Dreamweaver to start a totally different pair of sessions.

  On the home page, I made the Recordset like this:

  
  
  <>
  If (! function_exists ("GetSQLValueString")) {}
  function GetSQLValueString ($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
  {
  If (via PHP_VERSION< 6)="">
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc()? stripslashes ($TheValue): $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists ("mysql_real_escape_string")? mysql_real_escape_string ($TheValue): mysql_escape_string ($theValue);

  Switch ($theType) {}
  case 'text ':
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? « " ». $theValue. "" "": "NULL";
  break;
  case "long":
  case "int":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? intval ($TheValue): 'NULL ';
  break;
  case "double":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? doubleVal ($TheValue): 'NULL ';
  break;
  case "date":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? « " ». $theValue. "" "": "NULL";
  break;
  case "set":
  $theValue = ($theValue! = "")? $theDefinedValue: $theNotDefinedValue;
  break;
  }
  Return $theValue;
  }
  }

  $pass_word_rsUSERNAME = "-1";
  If (isset($_SESSION['pass_word'])) {}
  $pass_word_rsUSERNAME = $_SESSION ["pass_word"];
  }
  $user_name_rsUSERNAME = "-1";
  If (isset($_SESSION['user_name'])) {}
  $user_name_rsUSERNAME = $_SESSION ['user_name'];
  }
  @mysql_select_db ($database_toyosupport, $toyosupport);
  $query_rsUSERNAME = sprintf ("" SELECT * WHERE the password = name = %s AND %s entry ", GetSQLValueString ($pass_word_rsUSERNAME,"text"), GetSQLValueString ($user_name_rsUSERNAME,"text")");
  $rsUSERNAME = mysql_query ($query_rsUSERNAME, $toyosupport) or die (mysql_error ());
  $row_rsUSERNAME = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rsUSERNAME);
  $totalRows_rsUSERNAME = mysql_num_rows ($rsUSERNAME);
  session_start();? >

  Although Dreamweaver code struggled a bit he works and seems to be stable. Note that I added a session_start to the top of the page, even if the source code for Dreamweaver does not. This helped.

  I hope this helps.
