• Disable session restore

  So, I had problems with firefox restore my session after I kill with the Task Manager, and his return to the page that did stop responding in the first place, it is possible to completely disable session restore, after all, I didn't use it anyway.

  I don't think that there is a simple switch for session restore. What might help, however, is to change what Firefox does start after a crash: instead of immediately to restore all windows and tabs, it can present a screen saying something like "Embarrassing" and listing the windows and tabs, so you can deselect those don't care you, or just start a new session.

  If you want to try, here's how:

  (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 above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  3 double-click the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and change the value from 1 to 0 (that's a zero) and OK the change.

  In this way, you can still restore the last session at the request (for example, using story > restore previous Session) if necessary, but you will not be forced to do.

• How to enable automatic session restore after a crash

  I'm trying to enable automatic session restore after a crash. I put browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to true, but it is false. Is there is a dependency on another parameter that is the cause of return? Or other means to enable automatic crash recovery?

  The option 'When Firefox starts' is set to ' show my windows and tabs from last time '. I'm not under any session management extensions.

  All browser.sessionstore settings have default values except these:
  Browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo: 500
  Browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo: 100
  Browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs: true
  Browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash: false

  Thank you!

  When I close Firefox and open it again I am is more connected to my account to Google and it is normal (I ask that my login details not recorded). However if I use the option to restore previous session I logged into my Google accounts.

• All tabs are empty after session restore

  After clicking on a link to a page that has opened in a new tab, all the tabs in the window of my browser no longer works correctly (i.e. I could not close them, make new tabs or go to the previous page), and the restoration of my session turned into 'new tab' with no way to access their previous content (the number of tabs is the same). See attached image for reference, the Firefox tab is only after session restore. The browser think that he restored the session correctly, as her 'restore previous session' option is greyed out.
  Restoration of a backup version of my profile to one of two days folder there are just restores the history recorded, including, 'recently closed tabs' list had not returned to the backup version and shows the tabs that I closed earlier today. These tabs are functioning normally.

  recovery.js (latest version of the sessionstore written during runtime)
  recovery.bak (previous version of the sessionstore written during runtime)

  You can copy a file in the sessionstore-backup folder to the main profile and rename sessionstore.js file to replace the current file (make a backup of the current sessionstore.js).

  The sessionstore.js file is created from recovery.js when you close Firefox and are removed and copied in previous.js when you start Firefox.

• my previous session restore crashed

  my previous session restore crashed because I opened firefox and he did not answer, so I ended its process through the Task Manager, how to restore cache.trashxxxx file in the cache folder so next time I open the Fire Fox my last session opens again?
  I tried to copy the content to the hidden folder, but it moves just in a new folder cach.trash

  any way to help me?? i had so many important tabs open
  

  Well, before you open/close Firefox again:

  Your tabs and windows of session are stored in a file named sessionstore.js, not in the cache.

  Use the start menu in Windows, the search box or run it, type or paste the following and press ENTER:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  If you see only a single folder (semi-aleatoric name), click in it and save all these files to a secure location (if you see more than one such folder, check the files into it and save the most recent):

  sessionstore.js
  sessionstore.bak
  sessionstore.bak-datetime
  

  If you find that all numbered files such that the following back, those too:

  sessionstore-1.js
  

  If you do not see the .js extensions, clear the Windows feature that hides them. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219

  You will find all the files from the time where you want to restore?

• Session Restore opens at startup

• I can restore a session when the Session restore fails?

  After a kernel panic (I assume that's what it was), I was not able to restore my Firefox session, which had about 5 tabs open with a few dozen URLS to the breast. I'm writing this, there has been more than panic the kernel and Firefox crashes and Firefox allowed me to restore these sessions. However, this is the session that preceded the first accident/panic that holds these tabs I want to restore. Which can be reached?

  When I launched Firefox after the first crash, Session Restore window did not offer to restore my previous session, that the list was empty, not showing any tab list.

  I tried to search for the files sessionrestore.js and sessionrestore.bak in my system (OS x Lion), but they are not here. By the advice of some google search results, they said that there should be a Firefox folder to library > Application Support > Firefox, but I have no such folder Firefox just Mozilla file, and the js/bak files are not there either.

  Finally, I would like to make a backup (a clone) of my HARD drive for a few weeks, in the case which can also be used to help restore my session.

  I have included 2 Crash ID below. The first is one of the most recent (05/02/2012). There is indeed a dozen for that date, but it is earlier (in time) of the bunch, so I guess that maybe he'll relate to my first fall, even if that happened yesterday evening (2/14). The second ID is the 2nd most recent crash as of 1/14.

  Thanks for any help you can provide on this issue.

  You are welcome.

• Session Restore does not work; Firefox opens 4 other tabs instead

  In general, Options, I chose to restore my windows and tabs from last time and set the homepage of Yahoo. It was like that for years. Yahoo is my homepage until I close the browser. From a month or two ago, whenever I close the session is not restored, or is Yahoo my home page more. Instead, open 4 tabs: Welcome to Firefox, Mozilla Firefox Start Page, an explanation of WOT (one of my extensions) and a new tab.

  The first time it happened, I went to the Options and those in general have changed - home page is set to Mozilla instead of Yahoo, and when FireFox starts now open the homepage instead of open my previous tabs. It doesn't matter if it's before a restart of Windows or if I just close the browser and reopen immediately.

  I read many others having problems with the system restore. only a solution has been found and his question was not the same mine - it must also make changes I'm not comfortable doing.

  Any ideas? Given I have spent an hour to research, and nobody don't seems to have solved this, I think that I can go to Chrome... not what I want to do, but it's not good.

  You can check for problems with preferences.

  Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

• Tabs session restore when Firefox 28 is reopened, I put: when Firefox starts drop-down menu, select Show my windows and tabs from last time

  When opening Firefox 28 tabs in my last session are restored. I put (see my homepage) on the General Settings page, this is a recent problem. I disabled all the (Add ons). Ideas for me.

  One of the possible reasons are if Firefox is of the opinion that it crashed during the last closure. He will try to return to your previous session after a crash. (This can be changed if necessary by using the hidden settings).

  Another possible reason is a file user.js which contains a preference to return to your previous session once, the substitution of your normal setting. This article describes how to check for this possibility: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  Could you check this and a report on the question to know if you find something?

  Note: If you find a file named user but not user.js, Windows can hide the extensions of file on your part. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest their display. This Microsoft support article has the steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219.

• How can I stop FF from previous session restore, I've played with all the options I can find, but nothing can stop it unless I have clear history every time.

  Recently, FF started to open my tabs when I start a new session. I already checked to make sure that none of the parameters are enabled, such as the options-> general: housing starts of FF when "SHOW MY HOMEPAGE" is selected. But for some reason, it opens my last session. The only way I could so he could stop to do this is to have it delete my browsing history after that I closed the session. I don't want since I often use my story to re - find the information I need to research class. I made sure all my settings are the same since before FF has begun to do that. He has only started to do after the computer was turned off for a long weekend.

  I already looked in the help pages for Mozilla and all I can find is the restoration of the previous or similar session. I can't restore my previous session, I want to stop the restoration of my previous session without having to delete my browsing history each time.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• Time Machine restore problems

  Me again... still to try to recover my drive hard because I tried to make the Boot Camp.

  In preparation for boot from the external drive, I had a cool time machine backup of the system. The system was Captain El.

  When I started pressing cmd + R to choose the way to go, I entered the utilities disk and tried to format/erase the existing partitions so that one new partition could be created, and then I use boot camp to install windows again.

  Somehow after I did that and came back to restore options the system reported it no were not available to boot from the boot floppies and asked me to tie a boot disk. Having no other than the old drive boot disk that I had replaced out of the computer when he was a Maverick, I used as a startup disk and go to revive the position and where I chose what to do.

  When I choose now to restore from the external drive that has my time backup machine El captain on this program trying to install for a bit, and then he told me that ' year error occurred during the addition of a system of recovery on the destination disk. It then asks me to restart to get rid of the problem, and of course the problem won't go away.

  If I choose to reset the computer he'll want to maverick. I agree with going back that far and punting again and I'll probably have to do this because it appears that I have no other choice. I hope that I can install Maverick and then restore my El Captain off the external drive.

  Hello Farzad_K,

  Thanks for asking for help with Time Machine here in Apple Support communities. I am pleased to offer you things to check this.

  Since your Mac is fairly new, I recommend first start in recovery of the Internet. Here is the article on this subject: on Mac OS recovery. I know it says it's the Sierra, but the steps are the same for El Capitan. Use the second set of instructions for the recovery of the Internet with the keys: command ⌘ ⌥ (alt) Option and the letter R.

  For this with the drive installed that you want to install OS X El Capitan to. If you have changed to the older readers with the Mavericks, switch back, and then run the recovery of the Internet. This will fix your hard drive and then allows you to install the operating system from Apple servers. Then you can restore the backup, or try to run a Migration Wizard using this help article: move your content to a new Mac.

  Thanks again and relax your day wonderful.
