• Why Firefox doesn't save my tabs from the previous session although I chose to do it in the options?

  Firefox does not save my tabs from the previous session, although I have chosen in options, to save my tabs from the previous session.

  Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so it is no longer necessary for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.
  
  Use ' file > exit ' or ' Firefox > output "If you want to restore multiple windows.
  
  You can use "Firefox > history > restore previous Session ' to get the previous session at any time.
  
  There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

  Another possibility is to use:

  • Firefox/tools > Options > General > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

  Make sure that you do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the browsing history when you close Firefox.

  • How can I restore my tabs from last time?

• Firefox does not save the tabs after the upgrade of Microsoft Silverlight.

  A Web site that I visited recently demanded that I update to the latest version of Silverlight. I did it, and Firefox said it had to be restarted. When I restarted Firefox, even if she asked me to save my tabs this initial reboot, my tabs have not been saved. Now, every time I close Firefox, the warning that I am about to close x number of tabs appears, and there is no option to save my tabs. Clearly, the Silverlight upgrade has been the cause of this error, but how to re - activate the option to save the tabs?

  You can check the startup parameter:
  
  Tools > Options > general > startup: startup of Firefox:
  
  Show my windows and tabs from last time
  
  Show my home page

• There is an option to 'save all tabs before closing' - what happened with the last update?

  In formats previous Mozilla, if I had more than 1 tablet open as: Facebook, Aol.comand much much more. When I was ready to close the window and hit the 'x' at the top right, I'd get the options "save tabs & close" "close tabs" "Cancel".

  This gave the option of not having to look for things once again, if you are looking for the same tabs all the time. It's the same exact box you get now, but with the option 'save the tabs and close.

  This option can be added back?

• Save my tabs when Firefox is closed so that they are always there when I restart Firefox

  You have to use restore on my computer recently and once I did, Firefox seems to have lost the ability to save the tabs that I had opened since the last time that I used it, do not remember how it was configured to save tabs after each session. Also restore previous session was grayed out on then the previous session was not guarded, was able to recover some of the tabs looking through my story, right now I can't just close Firefox and open it to my previous tabs, it starts a new session. Will be closed in the future Firefox until a solution is found from my task manager, because it usually allows me to restore the previous Firefox tabs because it acts as an accident.

  Normally, Firefox saves your open windows and tabs that you will when your browser crashes, so it can restore your session automatically. To get Firefox to do this each time that you start, you can set that in the Options page. See: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  If Firefox does not always restore your session, check the Options page Privacy panel to ensure that:

  (1) you authorize Firefox saves history
  (2) you may not erase history at the stop

• Want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?

  FF 27.0.1 on Linux Mint XFCE 16, up to date.

  I have my preferences set to "show my home page".

  Whenever I close FF with the X in the upper left corner, he gets up and asks me "do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? I check the box to ask next time and have tried both save and exit and just left. When I open the browser again, it seems to randomly decide to open all the tabs I had last time, or sometimes (rarely) just my home page tabs.

  I don't want to open all the tabs I had open, and I don't want the question whenever I have leave FF. I used FF for years with XP, but I am new to Mint.

  Done setting the prefs 'warnon' on the topic: config false page has an effect any?

• Why can't I save my tabs when I leave the Firefox browser?

  That is to say where is the option that was available in the previous version of firefox?

  I don't care for the option 'open Web browsers for the last time' since I can not want to save my tabs each and every time, not to mention the fact that it is bulky fucking to continue to go into the menu options to switch between "show my home page" and "my tabs" every time, I use firefox. I mean honestly.

  And not even mention the option 'restore previous session '. I can't help but feel like I'm asking this is that hard to implement. Why was the first place he removed? It's very important for me, when Firefox will ask: "Do you want firefox saves your tabs for the next time" when I closed the window, and there was an option to stop the firefox asking for those interested.

  Please bring back this feature, it should be of perfect for my needs. I hope people remember of what I am referring. I hope that "subject: config" has an option to bring back...

  You can have things the old-fashioned way, and even if you do not choose to restore your tabs the next time Firefox starts, you can always restore your through your history as John99 mentioned, if you change your mind after you restart Firefox.

  See point #31 in the following text
  Restore the tabs of a lost session done now after restarting via the History menu ('Alt + S') 'restore previous session'.

  You can always have old messages, to ensure that you get your tabs immediately restored, but with or without messages and depending on how you respond to the message, you can still get your previous session via the history menu back.

• What happened to save the tabs when Firefox is closed?

  In Firefox v3.6* every time you closed the browser asked you if you want to save your tabs open so that they reopened the next time you start Firefox. Even when the update to the extensions/add-ons and by having to restart Firefox it would happen. It has been very useful but in v4.0. * This feature seems to no longer exist.

  Firefox stores now always the old session, and you can access it by going to the history menu and selecting "restore previous Session."

  If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
  4. Repeat this for 3 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, the browser.warnOnRestart and the browser.showQuitWarning

  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 '.

• I can't save the tabs when Firefox is closed

  Firefox does not ask to save tabs, windows and exit
  but it did not work

  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.

  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)
