• Why Firefox always opens with the last session tabs?

  When I open firefox always opens with the last session tabs? How can I solve this problem?

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once

  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
  You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

• Keep my pinned tabs disappear when I close and restart Firefox, this isn't after a crash. How can I stop this?

  Keep no apparent reason of my pinned tabs disappear from Firefox. This has happened three times now. I have not synchronized to any device. I keep my story and not erase it.

  Hello Silvia,.
  Sorry, you have problems.

  The system to store this information seems to be a bit fragile.

  When trying this please ensure you favorite whatever it is open and close the unnecessary tabs and don't let any ongoing work, initially you can lose more than just pins tabs. Once things go wrong, that several sessionstore files can be created, clear duplicate follow these instructions:

  1. See this for instructions on the profile search. Use the troubleshooting information, while Firefox is open profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
  2. Make sure that everything is backed up or bookmark and close Firefox
  3. Remove all duplicate sessionstore.js files found in the profile. Those with a number or.bak
     As mentioned in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files
  4. Restart Firefox, you may have lost some information i.e. pins or other tabs
  5. In the future when shutting down Firefox always use the menu option, which is from the Firefox button on a Windows machine. Do not kill the process, or close the window of final Firefox using the Windows icon at the top right.

  You use Sync?

  Try creating a new profile as a test to check whether your profile is the source of the problem.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  If a new profile doesn't help then try a clean reinstall and remove the folder from the Firefox program before (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

• When Firefox crashes and restart is necessary, Firefox always try to open the same tabs that caused the failure before.

  I use tabbed browsing all the time. When I open a tab of a Web site that poses a problem, freezing Firefox (but not the computer), I find that I can delete the Firefox problem only by restarting the computer. I am so appalled to find that Firefox then tries to recreate the same set of tabs that caused the problem in the first place, causing Firefox freeze again. Usually I can get it out by closing Firefox and very long wait for Firefox to close completely so that it can be restarted again.

  This problem occurs in version 4.0 as well as in the latest version of 3 that I had. I remember that in some versions previous Firefox asks if you want to recreate your tabs or open in a new browser window. I always took the second option. This choice is no longer makes its appearance.

  Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

  Which allows to deselect the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
  
  See:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes

  To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

  Hello Thomas.

  It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

  If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.
