Firefox does not save previous seession Web sites, even if the box is checked.

I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I'm having two problems since the upgrade:

1 Firefox saves more websites that I left 0pen from a previous session even if the box is checked to do. In addition, I am never given the option to 'restore previous session' in the menu background. It is always 'ghost' out and cannot be selected in the menu.

2. when I open Firefox, I use a shortcut or go to the Web browser in any other way, multiple instances are open automatically. I suspect that the number of instances is the number of tabs that I left open in the previous session, but I'm not sure about this. They all open to a blank page, however and do not open Web sites that have been assigned to each tab in the previous session.

Thank you for your help.

You can check if the session restore is activated [1].

It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.

Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs and all tabs open to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

  • Firefox does not connect to any Web site, but other browsers will.

    When I get something in the URL- google.com, localhost, http://127.0.0.1/ one bar the IP address, there is a fraction of a second flash, then the bar becomes empty and nothing has changed. It seems that Firefox is not even try to connect to the internet.

    Yesterday, everything was fine when I was running FF on Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows Pro 8, Firefox has failed. I've updated for Windows 8.1, hoping for the best, but it's the same problem.

    I've walked by the firewall program, several times (the only race is the built-in Windows Firewall). Finally, I uninstalled Firefox, including all my settings, custom and reinstalled from scratch, twice. And even this version pure and clean Firefox does not connect to the internet.

    I am a computer web developer and would be happy to look at the log files or run a tool (Fiddler?) to see what happens at a low level, if I only knew where to look.

    john99, thanks for the links. I went through all (again), one by one. The last link kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic showed me what helped. I've renamed "firefox.exe" to "firefox1.exe" and was able to use firefox.

    It made me suspect the firewall or malicious software. I ran a Malwarebytes full scan, zero problems detected. I have pored on the entries of windows firewall, the "Windows Firewall with advanced security" view and also the simple control panel view. The only mention of Firefox is that I continue to add and remove to allow firefox through.

    Here I knew what was going on, but for now, I can at least use firefox. How frustrating!

  • New firefox does not indicate that a Web site is safe to go ahead

    Previous sessions of Firefox took a long time to start. I then installed a more recent copy. He sees start faster, but I lost some useful parameters.

    Fase opening is important we had to indicate that the Web site. He checked his status. Unfortunately I d don't recover this moment and I'm not at home so I should try to open some sites.

    Please kindly let me know how to configure this validation.

    Thank you

    THANKS for the quick help. I have AVG on my PC. I'll see how to set up.

  • Firefox does not work on some Web sites

    I continually run into sites that don't work well with Firefox. I tend to think, because of FF high-speed evolution that he brings to the itself, but nevertheless, it's boring. The sites all say 'use Chrome' as a solution, and most of the time, it works. The thing is, I don't like Chrome. I have FF set in place as I want. It's my browser of choice, despite the fact that he lost for each day of Chrome users. I don't think I'll ever pass, but I really need to work on a regular basis. I'll have to use the portable version now because the desktop version works for me more. After the last update, Flash sites don't load not half the time. They also work in Chrome.

    This time, it's redgage.com. Most of the functionality works only if I use the right click and open in a new tab. I tried safe mode.

    What is the solution to this? I don't have time to make adjustments to the program and get in here to get the answers and everyone says that they have no problems. SERIOUSLY? This is not what say all my friends who have switched to Chrome. I feel I'm losing my right arm.

    Yes, all the links on RedGage are broken. To open in the same tab, you must drag and drop it on the address bar.

    But I think it's their fault. In the browser Console:

    13:46:52.262 ReferenceError: event is not defined MainViewModel.js

    Looks like a rookie mistake in this script:

     self.trigger = function (modelView, evt) {
       var target;
       util.hidePopup();
    
       if (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey || event.which == 2) {
         return true;
       }
    
       if (evt.preventDefault) {
         evt.preventDefault();
         target = $(evt.target);
       } else
         target = $(evt);
    
       var url = target && $(target).closest('a').attr('href') || $('.filter li.active a').attr('href');
       if (url)
         self.do_load_url(url);
       return false;
     };
    

    In the bold line, 'event' is a typo and should be "TTE". Maybe if tell you them on this subject they will fix it. Although other browsers work this way.

  • I installed the latest version of Firefox and it does not connect to any Web site. I had no problem with the previous version, I used.

    Can not connect to any Web site.

    texhusky Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox. If please delete all the rules of the program for firefox to your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • Firefox opens but does not open links or Web sites

    Basically, fire fox will open to the home page and that's all. If I type in the search bar, or participate in success and link/navigation bar, nothing will happen. By clicking on a bookmark or a link from the history won't do anything. FIrefox does not. Using another browser gets the results of work, so my internet isn't the problem.

    I went back to firefox 3 to get things working again. I tried to re - install firefox 18 again and everything installs successfully but nothing works.

    So, any help would be appreciated.

    Please update to Firefox 18, and then reset. Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons . In addition, you use a proxy?

    Problem is... then I updated my Firefox, it does not save passwords. When I enter my login details to any website, Firefox ask even to save them or not. When I check my storage of passwords in Firefox, it is always blank. I tried to reinstall completely, I tried the previous versions, but that did not help. Now I have hopes to solve this problem... so I ask for help here. If you need more information, please ask largely.
    Sorry for my bad English.

    Hey aur1m4z,

    Have you looked at the section of the Base names of users and passwords are not saved ? There are lots of good information in there.

    If it's only a particular site, you experience problems with, you can also delete cookies from this site in order to make the site you not forget if you have created a remember me cookie by visiting to Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies" that there could be a "don't remember" cookie for this site.

    Hope this helps!

  • Firefox does not save password

    Firefox does not remember my password even when I click on save password on all websites I visit. Recently, I installed a new computer and copied my old profile folder to the firefox profile folder. I use the latest version of firefox.

    In addition, all Gmail accounts are deleted when I associate different Gmail accounts to a list. But for my username AutoComplete still works.

    See passwords in the password manager?

    It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.

    In the Firefox profile folder, rename the files key3db and signons.sqlite.

    You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.

    You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.

    If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

    Otherwise, you can rename the files to their previous names (signons.sqlite and key3db).

    Firefox has been great to work on my computer for months and then suddenly he could not load pages. So, naturally, I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox does not open. The icon lights for a bit as usual, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the "run" command, I get this error:

    Help please?

    I've never tried it myself, but the forum has a series of measures for a "clean reinstall" Firefox. Even if you do not delete the record of your personal settings (AKA profile) during this process, a backup of this folder is always a good idea in case something goes wrong.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
