• How can I stop Firefox from closing of tabs or sessions automatically?

  If I have one session open Firefox invites you to recover the previous session but with 2 windows, which sometimes happens with some tabs from infinity that I don't care, the last window is saved (the one with 5 tabs instead of one with 165 tabs) and I lose my entire browsing history. This question actually forced me to swap browsers repeatedly by pure frustration about the loss of research. I use TooManyTabs to save some but it becomes so tedious to manage in this elsewhere, even with tab groups, my navigation is non-linear and does not always follow a set of rules, you can group easily to do its usually the pages more valuable I lose links to. He must really be a solution for this.

  Good to hear you get this window.

  I do not envy the UI designers, trying to make things more and more visible with less space. And when they create Adaptive UIS that seems to read your mind, it's scary.

  It might be a good idea after the restoration of a session the first time to open a help page explaining how to use the history menu to restore more windows and tabs. The problem with single pages is that no one seems to remember them when they need it. Sigh.

• How can I stop Firefox to return to the previous window, as soon as I open a new window?

  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.

  Any suggestions how to solve this problem? Thank you!

  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.
