Restore thumbnail tabs

• Cannot restore my tabs from a previous session. I closed my browser. Here's what happened:

  (a) I opened Firefox a totally blank page (without tab or anything like that), and a title bar (which I normally do not have) says "Mozilla Start Page.
  (b) I closed and reopened Firefox again, and my previous session was missing. The two places were you can restore your previous session of grayed out.
  (c) according to the instructions provided to other users, I went my sessionstore.js file. I didn't have one at all, so I created a change of name previous.js. Sessionstore.bak would be no help, as it was created when I have opened my browser.
  (d) of course, because I didn't have an origin sessionstore.js work, thus creating one did not.
  (e) before you ask, Yes, I have "restore my tabs from last time" configured.

  Any ideas? I would like to help, please!

  In rare cases, an update may fail completely replace the old files of version with the new version of the files in the program folder. This can lead to a range of inexplicable failure. Another explanation is available, could you answer that using:

  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.

  (1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 39.0 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) close Firefox (if applicable).

  (3) to rename the program folder, either:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  No improvement after this reinstall?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• How can I restore my tabs and windows, open or closed, when all else fails?

  It's not so much a question, an answer that some people desperately need.

  Since the Version 34, Firefox has done a superb job to restore the tabs created by the user, application or restart Firefox (if this option is chosen).

  The details of how to restore the tabs are covered using base online and even Firefox how to deal with several accidents now (for example, as an addon) ruin the normal backup file are also well explained.

  However, today I accidentally pressed Alt + F4 twice on my keyboard ill-conceived and closed my main window, with 93 tabs and another window of Firefox as well. I'm not sure that's exactly what happened, but I lost all my tabs 93.

  I read a lot of posts where people give suggestions, but none worked. Whenever I've restored a sessionstore.js file version saw the same lonely empty tab Restoring prefs.js did nothing, and not more than to changes in internal configuration constants.

  I tried refreshing / reset Firefox (which preserves the bookmarks), but I couldn't always restore the tabs. It was now clear that the problem was in sessionstore.js (and all its backups) for sure.

  I write for people who must restore their windows or tabs and don't mind be technical on this subject. This is my situation.

  The solution was to realize that the sessionstore.js file contains the JSON code, which is an effective way to represent integers and strings arranged in a tree structure.

  I thought that there must be a JSON Editor somewhere and it turns out there is a great available online, at www.jsoneditoronline.org . It can read a file on your computer, edit it, then save it to your computer.

  As soon as I read sessionstore.js in the editor, it was obvious, easy how this was going to be. The top level of the tree is understandable. Simply, I grabbed the data representing the window with 93 tabs and dragged in the list of the closed windows of Firefox in the list of open windows. This automatically moved the history of each tab and even strings entered in forms.

  After copying sessionstore.js to Firefox profile, I started Firefox once more. Reading Pandora reported that my tabs were back and running once more.

  Now, change the JSON code isn't something that everyone is ready for. And your problem may not be reflected in the JSON tree so simply. But, for the technical spirit of people who do not want to lose their tabs or windows to a mistake or an accident, this technique may be just what it takes when all else fails.

  This seems very practical. Make itself comfortable. A kind of backup would be
  Create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager and make a list of links here.

  Just a note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
  are open. Because the window with 90 tabs has been closed in the first place, then the
  other, that's what caused the problem.

  Please change the title of the post by adding == solved == to it. Others may think
  you ask for help, not offering is not a solution.

• I want to automatically restore the tabs, windows and when I reopen it firefox

  Previously, when I left firefox all tabs and windows would open next time in re-opening firefox - no more than 31.0

  How can I set current so it would be my fault?

  You can check the startup parameter:

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

  Make sure you close the Firefox application windows that you want to restore are still open.
  If you close windows open and let the menu bar then you will need to restore windows/tabs open via the history menu or via the button on the topic: homepage.

• I deleted the history in the "Library/history" window, but the pages are still visible from the menu "history/restore closed tabs" item in Firefox 29, even if I restart.

  In previous versions, when I deleted a page in the window (separated) from "Library of history", it was no longer visible from the history options. Now, I delete a record in the (separate) window "/ the history of the library" and always visible element of menu 'story/restore closed tabs '. It is essential for me, because I share the same book with my two colleagues. Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

  There are much easier and more suitable methods.

  • Do not let other people use your operating system account.
    Create one regular account for others to use. (Some guests accounts were badly aligned or inconvenient problems.)
  • Create a separate Firefox profile
    If you use the same OS account and then configure at least one additional profile for others to use.
    • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • Use a private browsing window, and therefore do not save anything.
    • Private Browsing - use Firefox without saving history

• Why the firefox profile is messed up and does not restore the tabs when you replace the Windows shell with something like bbLean

  I use Windows 8.1 x 64 but I can replace the Explorer bblean shell and when I do that firefox has issues with the profile such that cancel last closed tab or not to restore the tabs at startup.
  I was able to use the replacement of shell of bblean for years in previous versions of Windows, but he always had a weird behavior with firefox. Of course, I am currently in contact with bbLean developers working on the problem, but I would also like to hear what may be the cause of this.
  Thank you in advance.

  @guigs2
  Thanks for responding but I solved it somehow.
  'Replace the shell' means that I have deliberately change value in HKCU NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell so it does not point explorer.exe but blackbox.exe.
  After the reset of my installation of windows and get rid of all programs, including firefox now I use firefox portable (not installation of vanilla from the original site) and found, I have no problem with profiles so far.

• cannot display the thumbnails tab or to get rid of the page "you have opened a new tab".

  I get this(see pic) when I open a new tab, I solved this problem before, but I forgot how I did the last time.
  I tried clicking on the "don't show me this page again.
  What is a crunch the words more near getter.
  tried the zoom out without result
  then I tried to go into everything: config and permutation of the browser.newtab.url in about: newtab just to see that it was still defined as about: newtab.
  How can I get rid of that? Unable to see thumbnails is kind of annoying.

  I never have this page soon. Looks like a malicious extension for me.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• How can I restore my tabs and groups of tabs after a update to version 36.0?

  I work with many tabs when I use Firefox. I keep classified in groups of tabs, which helps to separate the different children to work I do and interests I have. I have been using this environment for years. When I started my job today, Firefox updated to v36.0, and noted the following behaviors:

  1. There is only one group of tabs when you try to display tabs at Panorama, as opposed to a dozen groups;

  2. normally if the hidden tabs (tabs in the same group as the startup group, and not the default page) downloading of content to what the user clicks on, icon, if any, and the name of the page will show on the tab currently, the tabs display 'New tab' and no icon. It seems, however, the number of tabs that exist across all groups of tabs, but are now ghosts this default value, a group of tabs. I must add, however, I do not count the number of tabs, so I can't be exactly. When you click on it, there is just a blank page. It is so strange that Firefox knows they are there but cannot simply attach the address.

  I tried to restore the following files from my backup of Windows Home Server to the folder AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ .default < gobbletygook >:

  1. in the sessionstore-backups folder, I replaced the files previous.js, recovery.bak and recovery.js (not all of the upgrade ~) with the files yesterday and the day before yesterday.

  When that did nothing, I replaced

  2 sessionCheckpoints.json

  I do not see any file with a recent date that seems to be the one that I have to restore. I should add that I don't see hidden files. I thought about the restoration of the whole of the batch, but didn't know how it would affect the program v36.0 and the profile on 35.0.1 files.

  I have deadlines this week and must immediately restore my environment in order to make these possible. I have no address list on my Web pages to work in IE or other. Any help would be much appreciated.

  On a second note, I had been wondering recently if this tab group environment is an appropriate way to maintain my work environment. Sometimes, during the opening of Panorama, I would get an error saying a script takes too much time, but if I clicked on continue, it would display the groups in a few seconds. I considered bringing it in bookmarks, but it would be tedious and more difficult to access and open several tabs. Initially, I tried tabs groups thinking it was just a matter of maintaining a table of addresses (in tabs) with a name or an ID of tab group. How that might go wrong? Well, there, so it is obviously more complicated than that, and I did not know that upgrades would affect the data of a personal nature. That I should abandon the use of tab groups?

  With the help of information from the user, ptressel, in a post here on the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released, I could easily get my tabs and groups of tabs as follows:

  1. close Firefox and, perhaps, wait a few seconds (30 years?) for any final closing of files;
  2. Check if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named as I documented in my original post above.
  3. If this is not timestamped before the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder.
  4. Check if the recovery.js file is properly stamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
  5. At this point, you are likely to find that none of them is before your problem occurring. If so, open your backups from this folder and go through steps 2 to 4 to find a file before your problem occurring.
  6. When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js.
  7. Open Firefox. Mine opened upwards as you wish.

  It is a solution for Windows. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet it's just a copy of file and change of name, it is likely even.

  For Windows users, you can find you must sign out and sign in as administrator in order to access backups. You must not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.

  Hope that helps.

• How to disable Firefox form generating a thumbnail tab when opening a url to the image.

  Hello, I recently installed Firefox 33.1 and noticed that when I open an image in a new tab, some of them will show a thumbnail of the image, I opened the tab, while others do not.
  I wonder, if there is a way to stop the Firefox to make these miniatures?
  Thank you.

  You can set only through this pref on the topic: config page.

• Restore the tabs

  Firefox fails, I restarted and I saw 'Restore tab session', but until I clicked 'OK' in this tab has been responsible for new site from one page addons (it is updated, new happy wow) and I can't go back to the tab restore and -> session restore menu item is disabled. How can I restore my previous session? Why FF not block 'Restore tab session?

  If you check your menu history (either using the button "3-bar" menu bar Classic menus, if you view only), restore previous Session are there? You can also check if there is available closed windows to restore.

  Before closing Firefox, please save your session history files to a safe place for potential recovery/recovery operations.

  You can open the settings file (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

  In the window that launches, scroll down and double-click on folder sessionstore-backups . Save all the files here to a safe place, such as your Documents folder. We may be able to use to recover your lost tabs.

  The types of files that you can find among your sessionstore files are:

  • Recovery.js: the windows and tabs in your Firefox session currently live (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
  • Recovery.bak: a backup copy of recovery.js
  • Previous.js: the windows and tabs in your last session in Firefox
  • Upgrade.js -build_id: windows and tabs in Firefox that was alive at the time of your last update session

  You can also find files that Firefox created if it could not update recovery.js (but since Firefox 33 is so new, I don't know what they would be called).

  Can take you a look at what you have and the date / time of the different files to see if you think that one of them would be the missing window?

  Note: by default, Windows hides the .js extension. To make sure that you look at the files I mentioned, you can disable this feature. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

• Stuck in a way that restores all tabs when restarting. I tried all the suggestions help and about: config changes

  Having read all the info from the help and can't get out of a mode where it goes back to the last session with all the tabs in the condition that they stayed in except the page is not loaded until you go to the tab.

  I tried false session restore and everything else I could find on this topic. He seems to have changed by itself, I made no change.

  Your help is appreciated. Thank you

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once

  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

• What is the problem with Firefox? He keeps asking me to restore my tabs!

  Well, I turned on several tabs, and when I close all the tabs, I intended to do, I clicked EXIT when Firefox ask me if I really want to close them. But the next time I turn on Firefox (even after I shut down my computer for 2 or 3 days), he repeats that «well, it's embarrassing...» "and ask me if I want to restore, instead of my home page. I thought that it will happen just once, but it happens every time! It is not an accident or a Firefox stop my tabs, I stop them myself, so why Firefox keeps asking me to restore? Sometimes, I just open the Google Web page, and then close, he always ask me to restore. Can someone help me solve this problem?

  PS: I already tried to uninstall, download the latest version and install it, but it does not work.

  You are welcome.

  Well, in theory, features such as Protection from surf to the CSA will be lock settings and restore them if they are changed, then you could Explorer if it actually works.

  With professional users in mind, Firefox has a feature to block certain parameters so that they cannot be overridden. This involves the creation of a couple of different files in the Firefox program folder (under C:\Program Files (x 86) \). I have not tried it myself, but you can learn more about here:
