Firefox v14.0.1, WinXP, change window order when FF restarts

A similar question was asked about 4 months, no confirmed answer: after a FF 14.0.1 restart (say, after an accident or when the Firefox task ended from the Task Manager), the ORDER of the restored windows is different than it was at the stop.

In some cases, it appears that the first window (the one at the bottom of the display of the Windows taskbar for windows FF) to restart, it is what was the window active when Firefox stop. Otherwise, the order may seem unpredictable.

(Let's say I have 5 FF windows open, each with a list of specific tabs and to assume that they are displayed as the taskbar in a popup like:)

       5
       4
       3
       2
       1

What I want is for FF behave as it was used as a result of an accident or a restart and KEEP this order, rather than turn to, say,.

       5
       4
       2
       1
       3)

Surely, this must be the default behavior? If not, how I can I remedy this?

Thanks in advance.

Can be linked. Discussion in Bugzilla; do not post in Bugzilla, unless you can provide the example of code to fix the problem. Seems related to the MRU (most recently used) order. Seems to only affect Firefox version after 8.

  • Navigation of Firefox 13.0.1 bar changes the height when you click tabs

    Only happened today, no changes made to the system.
    When I click on a tab, the height of the Navigation toolbar icons icon decreases to a square for half a second and then returns to the height the deeper (rectangle). What makes the page below the menu jump bar. Rather distracting.
    Hide the Navigation toolbar obviously solves the problem, but is not practical for obvious reasons.

    If you close Firefox, and then start Firefox in Mode without failure, in the problem? To start Safe Mode, go to help > restart with disabled modules.

    If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, then you can disable your extensions one by one until you find out that one is at the origin of the problem. See Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems.

  • Firefox is unable to navigate on Windows 7 when firefox.exe is running the system of custom files

    I have a custom file system (for example, I have the code). It translates queries the file system to the network requests at the block level (not at the level of the file system as MUP). When firefox is hosted on this file system volume, it can be launched, but he is unable to browse any websites. As well as firefox.exe all DLLs and configuration files are also on this custom FS volume. Another fact to note, is that this omission is seen with all active network applications hosted on custom FS volume. But many other applications such as Winzip, Adobe Reader work very well.
    I tried following things but unfortunately none have given fruitful results or clues as to why firefox fails.
    1 disable the firewall of Windows (shut down the firewall altogether service)
    2. disable Windows 7 UAC
    3 reset Winsock using Netsh
    4. start firefox with the admin account
    Dig deeper:
    I used IrpTracker to find the failure. Firefox fails to create the socket. The socket() call goes to winsock and winsock is in turn NtCreate on '\Device\AFD '. This create call will fail leading to the failure of the socket. However, this happens not when firefox is run from the local disk based volumes with NTFS or FAT.
    Winsock network event monitor confirms it. It shows: call failed with the status code returned 0xC0000225 (STATUS_NOT_FOUND)
    Please let me know if anyone out there has clues.

  • After following all THE procedures to change my homepage when I restart Firefox, the previous home page is still showing.

    At some point in the past, I have installed Bear Share. I removed from my programs (and checked it's gone), but whenever I run Firefox, "search.bearshare.com" appears as the home page. Any ideas as to what is happening?

    Hi akamomma,

    1. the updates have been installed on the computer?

    This would happen if Windows update is automatically updated the driver for graphics card on the computer.

    I suggest that you manually download and install the graphics card driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site and check if this solves the problem.

    For error of Windows in the start, I would suggest that you do clean the clean boot procedure and check.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7, or Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    The question is how do I get the position of the foresight of component the FlowPane and change the order when I drop the component?

    P.S

    I have a FlowPane with many small panels that are BorderPanes. I want to change the order of the BorderPanes with the mouse drag and drop. But I'm sure that this feature at the moment is not possible. So I think I can solve this problem in the other direction.

    I can insert component additional which will be inserted into the FlowPane and held the BorderPane:

    FlowPane-> component-> BorderPane

    I can add setOnDragDetected() and setOnDragDropped to the component in order to implement the transaction slip and fall.
    The question is which component will be suitable for this task? I need to make it transparent and it must be resizable auto because the BorderPanes can expand and shrink. Can you give me some advice?

    Concerning

    No idea why you think that you should add another component between each part of the border and the workflow pane. Why not just put the behavior of dragging on each side of the border?

    To change the order, just children of the pane flow and basically manipulate it like any other list, using (...) remove and add (...). Just be careful to remove the two nodes first, then add them after (so you do not violate the rules of the graphic scene).

  • Rename several Photos in Windows Photo Gallery Changes their order... Why and how to avoid this phenomenon

    When I click on Edit: select all and file: rename to rename all the pictures in a file, Windows Photo Gallery changes the order of the photos in the file when it renames them. I need all the photos in their original order as many of them are sequential in nature, so how do I rename all the pictures in a file and make them come out in the original order after renaming?

    Thanks for any help...

    Once rename you them, it shows them in this order,

    Depending on how you have renamed them, you could look in the records of the event, or an association of tag system, because wlpg bed than the names that the order in which he plays or show thumbnails,

    The exception would be if you did a slide show you can rearrange the way they play by dragging them around.

    Also, I think you should consider tags group and no file file rename.

    3. click on remove the folder to watch and then click Next.

    4. According to the where your digital media files are stored, click one of the options under which folders you want to add?, and then click Next.

    5 navigate in the folders that you want to add by clicking on the - and + buttons, and select the check box next to each folder. (Files in subfolders will be included with your selection).

    6. When you have selected all the folders that you want Windows Media Center to watch, click Next and then click Finish.

    After you have finished adding files, it may take several minutes for the files in the libraries.

    Follow the same steps and add the folders back.

    This will add the files in the order that you have saved on your computer.

  • Change the order of pictures in Windows Photo Viewer?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the order in which Windows Photo Viewer load images? To clarify, if you use a large (or whatever that either size) display of the icon in a folder, when I hit the "next" or the "back" button, rather than display the image to the left or right of the current one, photo viewer load the preceding or beneath it.  Basically the program reads from top to bottom in vertical columns, rather than left to right on a horizontal line. Is it possible to fix this?

    No sorry, there is no configuration for this.

  • Change the order of photos in a folder of photos from Windows 7 Pro

    I am a wedding photographer and until this week have used XP Pro. Due to a blow up PC, I had to get a new one with Windows 7 Pro on this subject. Under XP, I edited my photos in Nikon Picture Project and then copied to my images. I could then change the final order, they appeared by clicking on the left and drag it. This does not work when I copy them into a folder of photos of Windows 7 Pro, I can't change their order of appearance, I need to do this before I burn it to a CD/DVD to give to a client. It's a minor thing but cause me major problems. I note that I have almost 70 years and it took me several years to master XP, there isn't a lot of time to master Windows 7 no matter what help would be really appreciated.

    Depends on exactly how / what to order you need.

    In the images window, to the tr at the top of the page there are a few options to "reorganize by.

    There is also a drop-down list arrow options view

    Also on the title header for example name/Date etc if you click the title files will be re-arranged, usually to name, in alphanumeric order and Date, asscending or descending
