Firefox 4 warn me / restore when I close the multiple tabs.

Even if in the Options, I checked "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" Firefox 4 don't warn me or restore the tabs when I close the multiple tabs. I use Windows Xp SP2.

If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
  4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning

  • How can I prevent the FF when I close the last tab from closing?

    FF used to go to my home page, bookmarks, something else when I closed the last tab in the window. Since I restored it FF the window closes when I close the last tab. I could find something in Add-ons but just thought lost in all those that are available.

    You can set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the topic: config page.

    • topic: config page: browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Close the last tab without closing the application firefox

    Greetings!

    1.i would like to close the last tab without closing the application. The behavior I expect is the application to open a new empty tab when I close the last tab currently I can't close the last tab which already has some open site in it.

    2. when I open a new tab, I have to enter a Web site address. I expect the app to just open a new empty tab and let him to enter an address or not for me.

    Thank you for your support. I love firefox for Android.

    It is being developed and will be changed to allow the closure of the last tab in Firefox 18 or 19.

  • 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 do I close the last tab when restore last session setting is turned on?

    There are times, when I have several tabs open at the same time, when I want to turn off the computer and would like to see these tabs next time when I run Firefox.
    However sometimes also would like to be able to close the last tab and with that 1) closing of Firefox 2) ' close the session' as when I restart Firefox, the default home page greets me, while restoring session last still in activity.

    This future change is good knowledge and bitter to acknowledge, but it was not what I was looking for. (In practice, I need something, that automaticaally a click that, when they are available and makes unavailable, when for example, I press Ctrl + W on the last tab.)
    I just realized, on my cell plu I made Facebook an app - tab, so I could close the last non-app-tab and exit firefox, and next time, the start page was there with the Facebook tab as well. I remember also, that in the pre-Firefox 4 (maybe) it was the default behavior, right?

    Also I was using this: https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/session-manager/ but a new computer should come with a blank page, and also I forgot about it.

    Probably what I really need, is when I run Firefox, the start page will be always the first tab seen.

    Thanks anyway, and I take the responses 'not possible '.

    Edit: Actually the function of what I was looking for was available in the plugin I mentioned.

  • Firefox does not ask for confirmation when exit/close with several tabs open

    I'm having the same problem as user here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1139845 (only I have different OS)

    When multiple tabs open, Firefox ask me never confirmation when I click Firefox close window button in the corner (usually accidentally). And I would like confirmation.

    about: config I have:

    true browser.showQuitWarning (it is marked as custom value (bold), default is false)

    true browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab

    and when I close Firefox (usually accidentally) I get window of journalist of crash that I submit usually.

    Update: claims of a member who never close the confirmation appears for only one Firefox window, only several windows of Firefox. According to me, that this is of people probably half of bad idea is not using multiple windows, only the multiple tabs.

    The-edmeister says

    All you need to do is use the Previous Session Restore, either the default value: House in the lower right corner or history homepage > restoration of previous Session. ...

    Thank you very much for the input. Indeed, I go to Options/General and together "when Firefox starts:" 'Show my home page' and when I click on X to close the FF button, then asked to FF:

    "Want you Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? I click on "Save and exit" when I start FF, tabs are automatically re-open! :-) It's very, very happy.

    I never thought tabs will be reopened when the blank page is set initially. And I did not tried because I usually have several tabs open, so do not wanted to risk. For me, the issue is resolved. THX

  • How can I stop Firefox closes when I close the last window open?

    I had to get Windows 7 reloaded and my backup was corrupted (i.e., I couldn't use my custom Firefox.) So I downloaded the new Firefox and now it closes automatically when I close the last window opened. I prefer that Firefox stay open until I chose to close it. How to achieve this?

    Hello 1DKG, do you mean when you close the last open tab? If yes you can replace it as follows:
    enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab. Double-click it and change its value to false.

  • my firefox closes when I close the window, but the process is not stopped since I got the update to firefox

    Since I upgraded to firefox 2 days ago, there a reboot problem. When I close the firefox window, it closes as it normally does, but whenever I try to restart firefox it shows the notification that firefox still works and I first need to stop the previous process before you can start a new one. Finally after I manually stop the firefox process it restarts again.

    What fixed it for me, but I am running v.15 because of other problems. I have to say I tried a hundred things and nothing works. I made the note never stop, even hours later, if I forgot to go to the Task Manager to end the process. It seems not important to know if I had extensions or modules running or not. I tried this before today. My graphics driver updated a couple of months. In any case, THANK YOU for this, finally something is going right.

    Help, please

    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 startup window Mode without failure.

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

    If you like Advanced SystemCare software that could restore some files from older versions to protect files against the changes and then check their settings or uninstall this software.

  • Satellite A200 AH3 stops instead of standby when I close the lid

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite A200 AH3. When I bought Windows Vista was preinstalled (I still drive recovery). When I closed the lid of the previous day (I mean the monitor turn off the HD, the cooling fan and all the rest). The light On / Off on the laptop turned to a flashing orange light.

    Then I opened the lid and Windows prompted me to the logon screen. This process occurred when the laptop starts on the battery, not when it is plugged. Everything was going fine.

    But I formatted the HD to install WIndows XP that I bought Windows vista seem to be too heavy for my laptop. So I installed Windows XP and the driver and the software available on the Toshiba site. Now when I close the lid, the Windows shut down very quickly (about5-6 seconds). However, it is a real firm. When I reopen it cover anything happen.

    Then I press the power button / stop and start Windows, normally (no screen saying that windows close annormally and no Safe Mode boot option). Even if I change the setting in the control panel/power Option or the Toshiba Power Saver, utility and I put them to sleep, he always make a stop down.

    How do I restore that?

    Hello!

    Have you downloaded the BIOS for Windows XP?
    For the Satellite A200, there are two versions available; one for XP and one for Vista.

    Also, make sure that you have the latest graphics card driver and keep your XP to date.

    Good bye

  • Computer locking when I close the lid

    I have a laptop sony vaio vgn-aw290. When I got it after you have configured the fingerprint reader it would lock the computer when I closed the lid. If I close and open it immediately and it would make me a password. He wouldn't buy support standby or hibernation, it would simply lock the computer. recently, we went to panama, fl on vacation and this feature no longer works. don't know why or how or exactly when. I looked through the settings and power options and may not know how to re - set parameters to lock the lid closed. I also have an HP that has begun to stay unlocked when I close the lid. I would like to know how to configure it to crash when the lid closes, so I don't need the screen saver locks with a password to send it in stand-by or press win + L before I close the lid.

    Hi Mr. Folse,.

    Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

    You can follow the procedure below to change the Power Options.

    1. Click Start, then Control Panel.

    2 double click on Power Options.

    3. under "Advanced", set the option "When I close the lid of my portable computer" according to your preferences.

    If the steps above fail then I suggest to run a system restore to a date when the option was working properly.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    4. click on finish.
