  In 'Options' settings are ok.
  I don't have the extensions/themes. And the problem is still there on the safe mode.
  Out of the two files mentioned as maybe corrupted, I deleted formhistory.sqlite but the sessionstore.js file is not in the profile directory, the closing of Firefox (as the article suggests... it is there when Firefox is open)

  What is the start setting?

  Tools > Options > general > startup: 'when Firefox starts '.

  In Firefox 3, you don't get popup "Save and quit" dialog box if you choose Tools > Options > general > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
  
  If this option is selected then your pages will be already reopened the next time.
  
  To get this pop up dialog box, select one of the other options (display my home page, display a blank page).

• Firefox does not ask me to change a password stored in the local password database when I change it to a HTTP SVN repo that authenticates via LDAP

  Access to multiple repositories served via HTTP SVN. Authentication is done via LDAP. Firefox is able to save passwords for pop up dialog boxes provided by the SVN server for authentication. Periodically, I change my password for LDAP in Active Directory. When I access the SVN rest once again, I have change the password is entered in the dialog box, but Firefox do not ask me to update. Earlier (FF 3.x), Firefox asked me to update the password in the stored passwords. With FF 7.0.1 it does not prompt me for that and retains the old password.

  Original description:

  Let's say that I kept the password for some sites. As time goes by, I change the password on this site. Now, the next time I connect, password manager offers to enter my old information. I type in my password and enter the site. Earlier (FF 3.x), Firefox asked me to update the password in the stored passwords. With FF 7.0.1 it does not prompt me for that and retains the old password.

  OK, I feel like a fool. Turns out that the HTTP Server was in the list of exceptions, but under his own 192.168.X.X IP address rather than the hostname of our SVN server resolved internally. I missed which I was looking for the host name. Once I removed the IP address of the exceptions list entry, the problem has been resolved.

• 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

• Recently, Firefox does not display PDF files. It acts like it loads the PDF file, but there is nothing there but the "program" that the document should be presented in.

  This started with 20 Firefox and persists with Firefox 21. It's never happened before. Everything is up-to-date. However, PDFs don't appear. Sometimes I see the bar indicating a load of progression and sometimes it of just the normal program PDF background, but no matter, he does not appear. What is happening with this?

  Moreover, I will eventually switch to Chrome to view the PDF file as I can't make them work in Firefox.

  Thank you very much. That seems to work. What a shame the preview version of Firefox is not longer functional!
