• How can I stop firefox trying to restore my previous sessions

  Since I updated to firefox 20.0 I had a problem with firefox. Whenever I start firefox I get a message saying that it is so embarrassing to try but not to restore my previous session and it gives me the opportunity to be close the page and go to the home screen, or to restore my previous session. My preferences has the show my home page selected, every time I close Firefox, I close the page by pressing the red x, and then I put the firefox icon or the tab of firefox at the top of my screen and select Exit. I have reset firefox twice and that no longer works.

  A possible cause can be that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

  Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

• What can I do to find file extensions, please? I'm trying to restore my previous session on Firefox, & need help file extensions...

  I was told if I found the session files I would be better able to restore my previous browsing sessions... I am using Windows XP PRO SP3 32-bit.
  But I was also told that if I went to a particular place on Microsoft Windows, I know how to get the file extensions, so far I have had no luck with assistance here... hoping someone can help.
  Or... do you something if I activate a restore point which would be an easier option?
  I'm old & not a geek, if need you detailed instructions please

  Thanks in anticipation... I am very grateful to be able to request...
  Kind regards

  Session files are located in your profile folder and are named sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If you have had an accident, FF load automatically and ask you if you want to use the session crashed.

  If you don't have an accident, you can load the last session in FF from the default home page by clicking on the restore session. If you have changed the default home page you can call it by adding on: houses a copy of your FF shortcut. Simply change as follows...
  
  Then, you will see this...
  
  Click on restore the previous session.

• Firefox crashed and does not give me the option to restore my previous session.

  Hello

  I've been using firefox for a while now and so far, ive never had a problem like this.

  Firefox crashed last night while I was asleep, and when I woke up this morning to turn it back on, the crash reporter asked me that if I wanted to restart firefox, I did, but when it is loaded, instead of asking if I wanted to restore my previous session, he loaded a blank page which had a white patch is looking for unusual at the top where the tab bar is supposed to be , with the legs of loading below.

  The tabs that I had loaded were all very important to me and I would like to find a way to get back them if possible, however, I was unable to find anything on the other help pages that describes the solves my problem.

  Please help if you can, it would be greatly appreciated.

  PS I apologize for not to include an image of the window of buggy, it didn't occur to me to take a screenshot before I closed it.

  sessionstore.bak files are no longer used in current versions of Firefox, so they are probably for some time ago (seven 2014:20140923175406) and may no longer be of use.

  One possible way to inspect a sessionstore.js file or a file in the sessionstore-backups folder is open in a Firefox tab and to evaluate that JavaScript code in the Web Console (Firefox/tools > Web Developer).

  Paste the code into the Web Console command line and press the Enter key to evaluate the code.

  eval("ss = "+document.body.innerHTML.replace("<pre>","").replace("</pre>",""));
  sd='';
  for (var i = 0; i < ss.windows[0].tabs.length; i++) {
   var ent = ss.windows[0].tabs[i].entries;
   var last = ent[ent.length-1];
   sd+="["+(i+1)+"]:"+"<a href="+last.url+">"+last.url+"</a><br />";
  }
  document.body.innerHTML=sd;

  Question
  I can't get the tabs of the previous session of the return when I reopen it Firefox. I tried closing with 'Close' header of Firefox window, but also 'Quit' in the file Menu. Note that "Restoration of previous Session" on my Menu history is grayed out so I can't use it. In addition, there is no tab at the top of my window to open Firefox Firefox - only a menu bar that shows "File", "Edit", "View", "History", "Favorites", "Tools" and "Help". I am running Windows 7 Home Professional and Firefox 4.01

  Remember that you are not private browsing or they are in permanent private browsing mode. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing (2nd and 3rd options menu on this page)

  Make sure that you are not clearing history during a session or when Firefox is closed. See:

  • Clear recent history: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
  • Clear history of Firefox closing: uncheck 'Clear history of Firefox closing' options > Privacy panel (the first item under "History" on this Panel should be set on "Firefox will be: use the custom settings for history" to see that point to uncheck)

  "There is no Firefox tab at the top of my Firefox window open - only a menu bar.

  The Firefox button is supposed to be on by default in Vista and Windows 7.

  In Firefox 4, you have the choice of using the Firefox (orange or grey) button in the upper left or the menu bar (File, Edit, View, history, Favorites, tools.) Help).

  • The selections on the Firefox button are distinguished by the menu bar options.
  • You can easily switch between the Menu bar and the Firefox button or leave one or the other active.
  • One used depends on if the Menu bar is enabled
    • Bar menu checked = Bar Menu on, Firefox off button
    • Bar menu unchecked = Menu Bar off, Firefox button on

  When the Firefox button appears and you want to temporarily view and use the menu bar, press ALT or F10 displays the menu bar and you can make your selections in the Menu bar displayed temporarily.

  To check (or uncheck) the menu bar, do one of the following:

  • using the Firefox button: click on the Firefox button > Options > Menu bar

• I'm fed up with Firefox, I can't seem to restore my previous session. I'm ininstalling it.

  I keep trying to put Firefox to "show my windows and tabs from last time", but he continues to show this http://search.us.com/v/2/?guid={A665B7FB-CC63-4DF6-A03A-AE7DF57CDAF0} when I start. I'm fed up. I uninstall

  I think it's because of software (adware or virus) on your computer or Web sites you visit. Many of these change home pages without the consent of the user as a way to aggressive advertising or people of the scam. Generally, these target your browser by default, so even if you go to Maxthon, you might get some problem. To avoid this, you must use anti-virus software to find viruses and adware, then remove them.

  Even with the adware you can probably always restore your previous session by clicking on the "Firefox" > 'History' > ' restore previous Session ' (or 'History' > 'restoration of previous Session"If you do not have the"Firefox"button).

• Whenever I open Firefox, it restores my previous session without being invited.

  I set parameters so that when I start Firefox to go on my home page, which is just the Mozilla Firefox start page. Despite this option is defined, it always restore my previous session every time I open Firefox.

  One of the possible reasons are a statement in a user.js file. Firefox checks a file user.js at startup, and it replaces your own preferences. This article describes how to check for this problem as possible: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Another possible reason is if Firefox does not close properly and is still recovering from a perceived fall. To see if this is the issue, you can change what Firefox works after an accident so that instead of automatically display tabs from the previous session, it shows you a list of the tabs. Here's how:

  (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (C) double-click the preference browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.

  The next time Firefox starts if you get the screen saying 'it's embarrassing"and display a list of your last session tabs, then the problem is that Firefox crashes on shutdown.

  Does this help with your startup?

• How does Firefox crash reporter know my email address?

  When Firefox crashes, crash reporter is pre-populated with my email address. How does do that? I don't remember precisely what gives to any point in the past, other than to sign up for this help forum some time back. Even if I * fact * enter it in the area of the accident at some point in the past (it is very possible that happened and I just forgot), I still don't understand how it is stored. I delete cookies whenever I close the browser. (I use Ccleaner and have selected the cookies set to 'save', but Firefox and Mozilla are * not * among the "keep cookies".) Is it stored in my profile once manually entered in a crash report? If so, how can I remove it? This question is more about curiosity than ' concern. "Thank you.

  Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

  It's windows xp.

  If we knew more, you would probably now.

  What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

  The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
  For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
  Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
  It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
  Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
  No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

• Version 38.0.1 of Firefox will not restore a previous session by using Tab Mix Plus; all other versions prior to version 38.0 work.

  I installed all versions of Firefox to version 31.0 38.0 and the only one that does not restore a previous session using session Tab Mix Plus restore feature was version 38.0 or 38.0.1 (latest version).

  I think I saw something about this on their support forum, the other day, and the suggestion was to try the current development version:

  • Forum: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=2

• Firefox restore my previous session every time. How can I do this by default for ONLY my home page at startup?

  This problem started one day without changing any parameters passed month. I read every tip, tips s, and detailed instructions for these settings on the Firefox support forum, but without talking to my PC to clear my history every time then it starts my previous session without fail. My story saved, I want to have my previous session to be the Firefox start page. It is very irritating when I start Firefox and have to go and close five tabs as well as by clicking on the home button just to get to that I've specified to be my homepage. I am very distraught because I just read a question which was published more than 3 months ago with exactly the same problem but no solution. In any case, I thank everyone's help.

  Please: no suggestion that would involve the that I've never touched a computer. If it's essential... I already made the attempt.

  You can remove the user.js file as you do not need and it was probably created by other software.
  
  You can also choose delete all text in the file and save this empty file and set read-only to prevent it from reappearing.

  I saw that error and even if it says access denied it will actually save your changes.  After you disable all move forward and apply then restart and see if it kept the changes.  If it's not then I hope that you are able to borrow a disc it would in time look for resettlement.

• How to restore a previous session if this option is not highlighted in the history menu?

  When I was leaving Firefox the last time, Adobe flash has attempted to open a tab to download something, so I forced to leave. Now, I just opened Firefox and there not restore my previous session as he usually does, and this option is not available in the menu background. I looked in the profiles folder in the Finder, but I don't think that there is no .bak file to before I restarted today. I had a lot of very important tabs at this session and I really need it back!

• How to restore a previous session after a crash when it is not available?

  We had a power outage, and when my computer is back she just opened a blank session. Restore previous session was not offered as an option - it is greyed out. I tried (probably foolishly) closing and reopening.
  Now, I read a lot of ways to restore them, but many of them that I don't really understand.
  I found the profile folder and a copy of the sessionstore.
  Instructions say to right click and hit properties and then select "previous versions". That's where I come off. I don't seem to have this as an option. There are "General" tabs, "script" of 'security' and 'details' all with several sub-options. I can't seem to find anything that says than previous versions. I even followed a statement that says to do on the record and not on the file, but there is no option called 'previous versions' on either.
  I'm (unfortunately) using windows 8.

  To use an old sessionstore instead of the current file, first of all, close Firefox. Rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.old file, and then rename the sessionstore.bak -datetime sessionstore.js file. When you start Firefox, if it is set to restore the tabs and windows of the previous session should only pick up. If it is set to start with your home page, use history > restore previous Session.
