  In recent versions of Firefox, whenever I chaque fois que j' ouvre opens a new window, as soon as the window opens, Firefox goes back to the previous window, the one that was on the screen before I opened the new window. This is very irritating and not happened in older versions of Firefox.

  DOM.disable_window_flip is a true/false preference that determines whether a script in a web page is allowed to change orientation between the windows of Firefox (in general, to be in front, or pop-under by making the window from which it was opened at the front).

  By default, this preference is set to true to disable the windows around Web sites to move, but it is possible that the setting has been changed. To view/change this preference, you can use the subject: configuration preferences editor.

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

  (2) in the Search box that appears above the listfilter, type or paste the flip and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  (3) double-click dom.disable_window_flip to light it between true and false.

  Edit: Corrected by the post below.

  There is a difference between remembering the name and the password in the password manager and a check box "remember me" on a web page.
  
  The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and which is sent to the server.
  
  If that "remember me" cookie is deleted or is corrupted or is not send to the server, then the server remember that you and you must connect once again.

• When Firefox crashes and restart is necessary, Firefox always try to open the same tabs that caused the failure before.

  I use tabbed browsing all the time. When I open a tab of a Web site that poses a problem, freezing Firefox (but not the computer), I find that I can delete the Firefox problem only by restarting the computer. I am so appalled to find that Firefox then tries to recreate the same set of tabs that caused the problem in the first place, causing Firefox freeze again. Usually I can get it out by closing Firefox and very long wait for Firefox to close completely so that it can be restarted again.

  This problem occurs in version 4.0 as well as in the latest version of 3 that I had. I remember that in some versions previous Firefox asks if you want to recreate your tabs or open in a new browser window. I always took the second option. This choice is no longer makes its appearance.

  Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about: config to get page the on: sessionrestore page immediately with the first reboot after a failure has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.

  Which allows to deselect the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
  
  See:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes

  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.
  
  You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref.

• Restart Firefox and getting back all of the previous tabs

  Thus, every once in a while, I have a lot of tabs open, FF freezes and it restarts or Windoze requires a reboot. Very good except when one an update of FF is staged, or as this time I lose my tabs of 30-40 because apparently, I need to know that the Pocket came to Firefox. Restore previous sessions, greyed out, I appear to be roasted. Be sick of it by now, losing most is great but I really wanted some of them sitting there without having to be on bookmark, no way to get my tabs when this happens almost once a week now?

  Sorry for the delay in responding. Could you're looking for a historical file of session before update here:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

  In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click on folder sessionstore-backups . Save all the files here to a safe place, such as your Documents folder.

  Note: If you do not see a current (updated in the last few minutes) the file here recovery.js, then your Firefox cannot save the session correctly history. By default, Windows hides the .js extension. To make sure that you look at the files I mentioned, you can disable this feature. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wi.../show-hide-file-name-extensions

  I am particularly interested in finding would be most recent who follows this naming scheme:

  Upgrade.js -build_id - for example - upgrade.js - 20150525141253

  This file must contain the windows and tabs in Firefox session which was live during your last update.

  No recent data do you like that?

  This file is not human readable, but can be 'paid' for your current session history file restore the session of that time. If this sounds to it's worth a try:

  (1) upward to the main floor of the profile folder (whoever opened since Firefox, until you have clicked on in sessionstore-backups).

  (2) leave this window open, go back to Firefox and:

  (A) as appropriate, to bookmark the tabs that you will want to come back (Ctrl + d to different tabs, or save all of the tabs in the window, right-click on a tab > bookmark all tabs)

  (B) then exit Firefox completely using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename sessionstore.js to something like sessionstore.old (in the case where this all else fails and you need it back).

  (3) copy the upgrade.js - 20150525141253 (or newer of same named file) in the profile folder and rename sessionstore.js

  (4) start Firefox back up again. You may need to use history > restore previous Session if Firefox does not automatically restore windows and tabs.

  Success?

• How can I remove the 'new tab' that flashes always upward when I run Firefox?

  The new tab provides links to Twitter, Facebook, etc. I don't want this 'service '. This tab is slowing down the process for me - a total pain in the neck. Thanks in advance for any help.

  Thanks a lot for this URL. In a previous thread, it was associated with a 'speed dial' or 'search dial' extension: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/990420

  The unwanted extensions are often installed at the level of the system as part of a bundle. So I suggest from here:

  Open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  Then, in Firefox, open the page of the modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  (1) in the left column, click on Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or that seems unnecessary, try the configuration 'will never activate. (The essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most of the sites without the others.)

  (2) in the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

  Finally, you can "absorb" remain problems with scanning/cleaning suggested in this article of support tools: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

  Success?
