• Do I have to open all the tabs, every time I open my computer?

  Before I had my open windows were saved so not open them all every time I use the computer, but they always left now when I start every day, so I have to go to history and to start looking for everything I was working the previous day.
  Since I normally have more than one window open, it is really a pain.
  Why Save and exit was taken on Firefox 4? It is really necessary!

  Now, Firefox always stores the old session which you can access from the history menu by selecting "restore previous Session." There is also an option to restore the previous session on default value: Home home.

  If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:

  1. Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
  2. Go to the general Panel
  3. Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

• another window opens on the side every time I open Firefox

  I downloaded the free version of Firefox and transferred my favorites of internet explore. And I added eBay as one of the bookmarks.

It's annoying close the tab every time I want to open Firefox

  Right-click on the bookmark and select Properties, then turn off the preference for the load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

• By clicking on a (secure) link just opens a blank tab (topic: empty): NOW FIXED BY SELECTING «MIME_TYPE' to «catch links pdf»

  bold text I work with a html document located on my desktop (so no internet access aren't concerned).
  There are links to movies that work very well. It has links to a PDF that doesn't work and just open a blank tab.
  My understanding of the relationship of Firefox / plugins / Add-ons in minimal so I do not know where the problem lies.

  The document is a record made of educational software with hundreds of users who have not experienced this problem that suggests the files are set up correctly.

  I tried to adjust the setting to download the pdf (under Firefox/tools) but they seem to make no difference, as if it's not the plug-in for the.

  Please see title changed, now fixed so no responses needed

• Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar?

  Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar? This feature in conflict with my program of multiple monitors (display fusion) since this program allows you to change your current active window the monitor 1 monitor 2 and vice versa BY clicking the header of BAR SCROLLING (or whatever you call the highest part of your window). With firefox, I can't easily change my active window between monitors because instead, it opens a new tab.

  If the window is maximized, you can then switch this pref to disable the display of the tabs in the title bar:

  • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = false

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• When I hit my home button, firefox opens a new tab window every time with the page of homw what need me to. How can I stop this extra tab to open?

  The question above says it all. I get an empty additional window open whenever I go to my home page by using the Home button.

  You have a | after the web address that you set for your Home Page in the Options > general?

  This vertical bar symbol is used to separate the popular URL tabs when many home pages are defined as the 'Home Page' and if the vertical bar symbol is there, a blank tab opens.

• Firefox automatically opens the addon page every time you start

  I knew the App market/flue virus on my computer, so I got rid of him--or so it seems. Now every time I turn on or restart your computer, Firefox opens automatically, about: newaddon? ID = {64d64833-9296-421b-a362-83cfbd6291b6}, and the name of the addon shows empty; a few seconds later it closes automatically. I knew that this url has to do with the App market. But when I open Firefox, once again, it is as if nothing happened. Wherever it happened, there is no accident report on this point, despite the many times. I tried to scan my computer several times thereafter with no luck. There is no user.js file, and I deleted all of the extension and a driving-related program.

  I found the solution! It turns out that my computer put adware so she would go to Firefox at startup. Now, when you go to your normal Windows startup entry things, it is said that Firefox, nothing else.

  Then, I installed CCleaner and looked at startup entries there. In the Firefox section not only was it the program, but also the URL it redirects me. I deleted it, restarted, and it worked!

  Now, for what is BackgroundContainer.dll... ^^;

  I downloaded CCleaner from a site named Bleeping Computer. I think my mistake was CNET Download, which is a shame, because I always thought that the site was honorable and trustworthy. But don't be fooled... MyWOT.com said CNET's is more than sure. Bleeping Computer, however, is much safer and confidence. Actual

Suddenly, he started opening with the last page, I was in a previous session. When I noticed it, I made sure to close all pages that has been opened until I signed up on Firefox.

• Firefox crashes when you open a blank tab

  Only in the last day, I started having problems with Firefox crashing. In the first hour, the problem only seemed to happen when I went to some websites, such as Gmail or YouTube.

  Now, however, Firefox will crash as soon as I open a new empty tab. I am able to start Firefox, and it will show the page to "re-establish the Session. I can use the menu to open, for example, on: supports, but as soon as I do CMD + T to open a new tab, Firefox will crash.

  This seems to happen even when I start Firefox in safe mode.

  I also tried refreshing Firefox and do a new installation of Firefox, but none of these troubleshooting steps solved the problem.

  Hmm, so I recently had my hard drive is not on me, and I had to reformat and any transfer during a backup of my laptop. Since then, Firefox seems to work very well yet. Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

• When I open a blank tab, it goes to a strange Web page. How to open like something useful?

  When I open FireFox, in a first time, it opens a tab in my homepage, as it should. But, when I open a new, blank tab he goes on some website. I can't find options to tell what to do with a blank tab in the current version of FireFox, and I'm sure I've seen this option in older versions. I would like to be the tab to be totally blank or having thumbnails of recent/frequent pages I visit.

  You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

  • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
  • the default homepage is Subject: Home
  • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

  The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
