  • Since the installation of 4.0.1 I can't do a right-click on the icon in my taskbar and have Firefox give me the option "close and save" tabs. Only let's me know, I'm about to close several tabs. How to make 'save & close' return?

    Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar of my computer and press on the window. He would then give me the option to "save the tabs and exit" or "close all tabs".
    Now he comes and tells me I'm going to close several tabs.

    It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all the tabs in place. There is nothing more annoying than to have several tabs lost because your computer has is an update of the day overnight and restarted. It is also useful when you want to run a tun - up or cleaner who asked that closing your browser for best results.

    How to make 'save and exit' return?

    Thank you

    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 uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?

    Sorry you have coming.

    See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.

    The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

  • Is it possible to have Firefox 4 speed while keeping the menu much higher and the bar tab of Firefox 3?

    I want to increase the operating speed, but for my use of the new orientation of the tab bar, tabs favorite and engine of research would be counterproductive.

    It is very easy to do. By default on Windows XP, it will have the old style menu bar and the tab bar is not on top.

    If you have Firefox 4 put in place with the new UI, you can return to the older appearance by right-clicking a toolbar, then clicking on the entrance to the "Menu bar" to select. To change the position of the tab bar, right-click on a toolbar and click the entry "Tabs at the top".

  • I have Firefox installed 42.0 and works correctly. Yahoo on Firefox indicates this, but Yahoo on Chrome keeps asking me to upgrade to the latest Firefox

    I use mainly Firefox and Chrome only as an emergency backup. I still have backup third IE and Yahoo by default, thus opening 'IE' takes me directly to Yahoo.com. In Chrome and this 'fake IE', Yahoo says to upgrade to the latest Firefox. I even updated a second time to 42.0 Firefox but Chrome and 'fake IE' Yahoo wants the latest update me of Firefox. In Firefox, there is none that question. If so, can or should be done?

    And I don't know how Firefox/Yahoo and non Yahoo/Chrome or IE/Auto-Yahoo acknowledges what version I am running.

    Browsers generally identify themselves to Web sites. If you want to see what your browsers send, you can use my test page - the "user agent" string is displayed in red:

    https://jeffersonscher.com/RES/jstest.php

    It is a little confusing: browsers may raise on behalf of other browsers to inform Web sites that they can deal with the pages designed for other browsers.

    But browsers do not send a list of ALL of your software on your computer - thank God - so if you visit a site with chrome, it cannot know which version of Firefox, you have, or even if you have Firefox at all.

    There is an exception to this absolute statement, called Flash Local Storage Objects, sometimes called super-cookies. If you visit a site in the browser F and allow the site to use Flash and store data on your computer, then when you visit the same site in the browser to C, if you allow the site to use the Flash, it can read these data and know that you have already visited and connect your two browsers.

  • I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version but online there is version 40 + and it won't let me install it.

    My OS is Windows 10. I have Firefox 38.2.0 and it tells me that it is the most recent version. However, I got emails telling me to upgrade to the latest version which seems to be in the 40s. When I go to the https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ website, it tells me
    "Looks like you are using an older version of Firefox."

    So I click on upgrade and it loads a file "stub". I close in Firefox, go to the folder where the file is located and run it. At the end of the process, he told me that Firefox still works and I have to close it for the new version to load. Then I go to the Task Manager, and he told me that no request to don't run! I went through this process three times without any positive result.

    What to do?

    I'll answer your question, but I suggest not changing your version of Firefox until find us out if having to do any with your plant, discussed here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078897

    At some point, there are two different versions of Firefox:

    • Public release of the standard/large: currently Firefox 40.0.2
    • Extended support release (ESR): currently Firefox 38.2.0

    The version of ESR is intended for companies who need maximum stability for their users. New features usually are not added for at least six months, although security patches are issued approximately every six weeks.

    You want to switch to the standard version? If so, this is how I suggest to do:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (not incompatible, corrupt or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 40.0.2 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) to rename the program folder, either:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\FxESR
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\FxESR
    

    (D) run the installer downloaded to (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in the old folder. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \FxESR\Plugins
    • \FxESR\browser\plugins

  • Flash no longer works and blocking firefox. I have fast dial and don't want to lose it so what can I do to solve this problem?

    Any site or what I do it will come to the top randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box appears and says Flash is busy or not responding not to continue or stop the plugin. Naturally, I stop plugin. I always install the latest versions of flash I even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bothers me to update. I use firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the beta if possible. My biggest concern with using the firefox reset or make a new profile is my quick dial that I have tons of sites there was waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do that I will lose it. But I have used the same profile for years then maybe its time. I'll have to redo everything my dial fast, I guess that if someone can find another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have it makes my browser to do weird things. I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have the registry and files temporary cleant.

    Its ok on the Profile Manager. I used to use Mozbackup back in the day lol. So, I just started back up this folder that works well also. I used the script to delete the prefetch files and so far everything is good and Ive done everything I usually do. Usually more crashing on facebook games well. It always crashed in the video also, but it's very good now. Weird that do one thing as it fixes a big problem like that. But I appreciated all the answers and all the advice.
