• FF4b10 don't ask to save tabs on exit more

  Since the update of FF4b9 beta10 FF do not ask more to save tabs open to the output. Simply, it closes at the same time and does not restore my tabs at the next startup. Is there a change in behavior or adjustment, which has changed its default value or is it just a bug in beta10? All versions of FF4 to Beta9 has worked well.

  Warning message preferences have been set to false by default in current versions of Firefox 4 beta. (Change of silly IMO.)

  You can set the preferences of warning on the subject: config page to true via the context menu or toggle with a double click of the left.

• Firefox does not ask to save tabs, windows and exit

  I've done everything suggested in this article:
  https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+an...
  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).

  You can reset the preferences of warning on the subject: the configuration via the context menu page.

  browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
  browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit
  browser.warnOnRestart , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnRestart
  

  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.
  
  If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

• Cannot save tabs on exit

  I just upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on the PC under Windows XP and lost the ability to save to the output of the navigation tabs.

  I looked at the troubleshooting information in Firefox Support and tried to implement without success. sessionstore.js did not have the js extension. I added the extension, but I still have not a dialog box asking whether to save the tabs.

  I do a lot of research and writing, so it's an important feature for me.

  One of the changes in Firefox 4: by default Firefox 4 does not display the warning "Save tabs and exit" then to the closure of several tabs, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

  • Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.
    • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead it will always save your tabs in the output. You can restore the next time by selecting "Restore previous Session" in the history menu, or by pressing the button restore Firefox's default homepage.
    • Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all volunteers without compensation here to help other users. Develop them and employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.

  Also, make sure that you erase not the 'browsing history' when you use clear recent history:

  • https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/clear%20Recent%20History

  To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

  1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
  2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
  3. Open the preferences/list page
  4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
  5. If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
     • browser.warnOnQuit
     • browser.warnOnRestart
     • browser.showQuitWarning
       • Note: last pref is new in Firefox 4 b 12, may need to add (boolean)

• Version 14.0.1 won't save tabs on exit.

  All HELP articles I've found are for version 4 - I version 14. One thing you can do is put the most recent problems first, NOT the problems of there are 10 versions.

  I want the default to be ALWAYS SAVE TABS ON EXIT. This sale option, an easy place to find, like the TOOLS / OPTIONS / TABS section. It seems that this has been an ongoing problem for several versions of FIREFOX. I had it available in earlier versions, but it isn't here now. Why would you take it?

  Nothing has changed in this area of Firefox 4, so if you have found solutions for older versions you should check out them.

  In any case it seems that you want your old tabs restored, without any indication, and it is more likely that you have changed your option, if you think that it comes to be modified in version 14. Response of Verdi, specifically you want to 'show my windows and tabs from last time' where you set your homepage options, see

  Is there a way to 'batch' record as very? We have a customer who regularly sends files without all the embedded fonts. To clean the files for digital printing, save us as Postscript and pass them through Distller. "Save as Postscript is the longest part of the process, then I would be able to automate it.  Any ideas?

  This is the worst absolute way to embed fonts for PostScript through deletes dynamic transparency, color management, bookmarks, hyperlinks, etc. Yucck!  You are in many ways to ruin the files, do not clean them.

  Acrobat Preflight has a correction for embedding fonts. Takes only a few seconds per file PDF. And if you have a bunch of these files, you can create an action to do this.

• Even with "ask to save tabs" unchecked, Firefox keeps asking to save tabs

  Firefox for Linux 32.0.

  The option "warn me when closing multiple tabs" is disabled in my preferences, but every time I close many tabs Firefox request "Do you want Firefox saves your tabs for the next time."

  I then check "do not ask next time", and when I restart the browser, the "warn me when closing multiple tabs" is always disabled, but still asking to save the tabs in Firefox.

  Also, in my remarks: the browser.tabs.warnOnClose config displays "false".
  However, Firefox does not seem to respect that.

  So in fact, Firefox remembers my settings, but doing the opposite?

  How can I get Firefox to respect the settings and disable this close tab warning message?

  There are also these prefs:

  • browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs
  • browser.showQuitWarning
  • browser.warnOnQuit

• 18.0.1 version won't save tabs on exit.

  My FF was just updated today to 18.0.1 self and now when I close FF it does not save my tabs. I've always had "When FF starts" the value "show my windows and tabs from last time.

  I saw a 14.0.1 earlier problem that said delete sessionstore.js but when my FF is closed there is no sessionstore file in the folder of my FF profile. What is the problem? That does so I have a file sessionstore in fixing sessions?

  Thank you.

• How to restore the ability to choose whether to save tabs on exit (I need this abandoned feature.

  On my laptop, I no longer get a choice, the closing of Firefox, if to save the tabs for the next time that I open Firefox.

  I use 4 different computers. It is impossible to remember the computer on which I want to restore a previous session, then the choice of restoration when I start any computer is available doesn't help, compared to the old system, which allowed me to choose to exit, when I could clearly see if I had a session that was to be preserved.

  The intention was that you should / could use history ('Alt + S') > restore previous session after bringing to the top of Firefox.

  But this means that you must remember to do.

  You can still have the old behavior and regardless of how you answer at the end of the session, you can still get back your previous session.

  See step # 31 tabs of a session restore lost (#tabslost) in the following article:
