• Home page search is not working / not Possible to restore the previous Session

  After the last update (version 29), the home page of default Firefox search bar has been completely non-functional. If I hit enter or press search, nothing happens. Another (possibly related) problem is that the button 'Restore previous Session' is never present. I can also restore the previous session by clicking on the option of history (it is always grayed out).

  When you look to the top How to start safe mode, I discovered how to reset Firefox to its default value of the plant. I did it and Voila! Problem solved.

• Since the update to firefox 25 my 'undo closed tab', 'Restore recently closed tabs' and 'restore previous session' is grayed out, I tried to reset by default

  I only had this problem since update to firefox 25. I tried to reset the deafaults ff. He did restore the "undo close tab" for a short period. but when I quit and restarted ff I have the same problem again. I don't want to have to keep resetting to the default settings, because it's too much time to then get back all my preferences.

  I had this problem as well, I couldn't choose "Restore recently closed tabs" as historic because it is grayed out.

  I went to Subject: config und from 0 (10 is the default value), browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo to 10 and I set browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0 (including default 3) 3.

  For me, this problem solved my problem und now I can restore recently closed tabs.

• How to re - activate the functions 'Restore previous Session', "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed Windows" in the menu of history?

  For some time, four choices in the restore section (tabs of other devices, Previous Session Restore recently closed tabs and recently closed Windows) have been shaded. Keyboard shortcuts do not work, and didn't undo closed tab in the context menu of the tab.

  I found and tried various patches to do this, including:

  • From Firefox in Mode safe without addons.
  • Firefox reset.
  • Change the values of browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in all: config.
  • Check to see if I have a user.js in profile Firefox. (I don't).
  • Verify that the private browsing is not the default mode. (It is not).
  • Create a profile to see if it had the same problem. (He did.)
  • Running anti-malware analysis. (BitDefender and SpyBot).
  • Temporarily disable my anti-virus and anti-malware.

  Any of these solve my problems.

  Other devices tab is grayed out, but I've never used, and it might have previously grayed out.

  The story works in general. Sites I visit are added to the log.

  Preferences are saved correctly when I change them.

  Any advice on how to solve the problem would be much appreciated, as I am very fond of these features and often served until they stopped working.

  ADDITIVE

  After that looking through the list of preferences of change created by the resolution of the problems, I tried now also reset the following text:

  • browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion
  • browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
  • Browser.cache.Disk.Capacity
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.first_run
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.use_old_max
  • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size_cached_value

  The problem persists.

  I finally managed to understand this. In searching the Web, I found a thread detailing a similar problem on the Mozillazine forum. The problem has been identified as a missing browser.sessionstore.enabled set, so I went looking in Subject: config and couldn't find it. After creating the entry, by assigning the value true and restart Firefox, the functions of recovery/recently started working again. Apparently, some bookmark plugins and session-based can cause this problem, but in my case, it must have been something else, that I never had no such plug-ins installed.

  If you have this problem, here's a detailed itinerary of the way I fixed it. Whereas there seems to be several problems that can cause restore/recently functions to stop working, it is not a guaranteed fix, but it is still a thing to try, at least.

  1. Open a new tab or window.
  2. Type of topic: config address in the box and press ENTER.
  3. Read reviews and promise to be careful.
  4. Copy this: browser.sessionstore.enabled - and paste in Subject: config'search box in s. press ENTER.
  5. If you copied the text at the top right, the setting should appear in the list. If it is not the case, you have the same problem, I did. (I would say that you copy/paste the text indicated and only this text before moving on to double check).
  6. If the parameter does not exist, right click on the parameters of the list and choose new-> Boolean. Paste the parameter name that you copied previously in the name box, click OK and then set the Boolean true. Once you have click OK, restart Firefox, and (hopefully) things should work properly again.

  Thanks to everyone who offered help and thoughts!

  As long as when you uninstall the beta version of Firefox, you make sure that you ask him to remove your personal data and customizations, you'll be fine.

  To make sure, your backup information can help you make a backup, so it won't get damaged or accidentally deleted.

• I can't see the 'recently closed tabs' and 'windows' recently closed in Firefox-> history. Where are they?

  I use Firefox 4 Beta 3 and I can't see the 'recently closed tabs' and 'windows' recently closed in Firefox-> history. Where are they?

  They do not appear on the history of the Firefox button entry, but they are always on the menu background traditional, accessible by pressing Alt and S.

  Checking through some models of the Firefox button, it seems that he is expected to add to the option in the history of the Firefox button. Although there are probably differences, see this image for an idea of what the Firefox menu final button will look like at- https://bug583386.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=461697

• "Never remember history" allows to always "recently closed tabs".

  I use permanent private browsing (i.e., selected "history never remember ' with 'always use private browsing mode' selected (and"accept cookies")), and still under 'History' tab 'Recently closed tabs' is always a viable option that shows where I've been.

  Granted, is that before I close Firefox, but what I want is for tabs closed is no longer be registered or my recent history. I have tried with no Add-ons (in which case they were interfering) but same problem.

  In case it isn't clear, here is an example: 2 tabs open, one of which is Google. I Google search for XYZ. Get my results, close the tab. At this point, I have a tab open and when I look at 'Story' 'recently closed tabs' option will show "Google: XYZ." I don't want at any time. I don't like where I've been and do not want to have to close / restart Firefox (or go through multilayer of choice for 'clear current history') to clear this information.

  A way to do this? I use Firefox 8.0.1 on Windows 7 (starter).

  Thanks in advance for your ideas.

  To disable recently closed tabs, please follow these instructions.

  Enter about: config in the address at the top of the Firefox window bar

  Scroll down to "Browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo".

  Right-click and change to 0 (zero)

• I don't want my recently closed tabs to be saved... Any way to prevent this?

  It's been a long time I used Firefox (got a Macbook and for some reason any just used Safari for a long time), so please forgive me if I am just missing something in the settings of Firefox.

  Anywho, I have Firefox put in place to remember not my story because I like the intimacy it offers. I think it is strange that I put him in place to delete my history, but when you go into 'History', it keeps a list of all my closed tabs... This kind of defeat is not the purpose of having the browser saves don't not my story?

  Is there a way to prevent Firefox to keep this list of my recently closed tabs?

  Hello drubacca117, private browsing (aka "never remember history") means that firefox will not write no historical data on your hard drive. as long as the browser is open it will store these tabs recently closed in the RAM in order to restore quickly if needed - if you don't like this feature, you can disable it this way:
  enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) & look for preferences named browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo. Double-click on it and change the value to 0 and restart the browser once.

• Is it possible to use "recently closed" tabs in the new firefox without a mouse?

  In the old firefox, you had the option of clicking ONCE in the upper left corner and then using the arrow keys to navigate the menu of recently closed tabs, extremely fast and go to the tab you want. Now you klick three times, and you have to search the history button because there is no list more, and there is no possibility of using the arrow keys. Is it possible to use the arrow keys on the keyboard as before or is there anyway of downgrading my version to the old version of firefox?

  You can also access this data via the menu of tory His(Alt + S)

  • Press the ALT key, or press F10 to display the Menu bar.
