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.
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
- Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
- Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
- 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:
- Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
- Go to the general Panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
- In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode 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 issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.

I was on facebook and remove an icon by using the right-click menu, but then all my photos and pictures of profile, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in the browser, so it's something I've done in Firefox. How can I unlock a site?
If you select that right click menu context then you block all images from this area and not a specific image, so do not use that.
- Check exceptions in tools > Options > content: Load Images > Exceptions (for example sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
You can use the following steps to check if the images are blocked:
- Open the web page that has the missing images in a browser tab.
- Click the site favicon (How do I know if my connection to a Web site is secure?) on the left end of the address bar.
- Click on the "More information" button to open the "Page Info" with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
- Go to the Media of the window tab "tools > Page Info.
- Select the first link of the image and scroll down through the list with the arrow down.
- If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

I have firefox clear history when it closes and it clears my exceptions to pop up every time it closes. How firefox can erase history without deleting the exceptions to the pop-up windows? Allow this makes it difficult to play of Facebook games like farmville, because I have to allow him every time, and I have to type in rather than it to automatically. Thank you, Jamie
Do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site preferences".
Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

When you open a new tab, how to make images of recently viewed pages underneath the toolbars?
See what-
http://www.Google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?answer=115561 -
Well although I figured out how to get the toolbar tab back where it should, at the bottom where easy access to him, but now I see that the option "Close all other tabs" that was in the right click menu of the arrow 'List all tabs' has disappeared.
Is there anyway to get that back? This design change is really not as good as 3.5. Also say that that person can slow down. Who can understand what it says?
Thank you!
In Firefox 4, the tab bar is a regular toolbar and which causes the toolbar context menu show if you right-click.
You can right click on the tab that you want to keep to "close other tabs".

Right click issues are usually caused by third party software who pushed himself into the context menu. This is more easily managed using the ShellExView free program.

I don't know how to recover my volume icon - can anyone help? Thank you!
Hello
If one of the system icons is out, you can reactivate the as follows:
Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties. This will bring up the tab "properties of menu taskbar and start. It's where you mentioned, it is gray. It is very well... From there, you can click on Customize button in the icon section. Look for the icon that you are missing, and check the status. The type of report should read "Hide icon and notifications", change that to "Show icon and notifications".
If this does not resolve the issue most likely you have a problem with group policy on your machine. This can be corrected by following the instructions on the following link:

Since the last loading Office mgr, Sync does not synchronize the calendar, addressbook. Tried resetting the configuration, nothing helps.
Yes the older BB software had 1 calendar and only 1 calendar. new software BB has the ability for multiple calendars and he is probably using the wrong calendar, and that's why its not sync
We need to find the timing and set it... that's all on the real BB, not your yahoo calendar or DTM
on your BB...
Open the calendar, click the menu button and select options
on the options screen, you will have a fat calendars
below with the mutiple possible calendars can be device by default, facebook, and and the number of e-mail addresses
Click on each one and check the number of entries that each of them has then come back to your home screen
always on the BB, open the main icon options (wrench), then click Advanced and then by default services
next to the calendar [cical], you will see a the many elements of the calendar in the steps above (facebook or emails, defect of the appliance will display here)
chances are she is currently set on facebook and does not sync that would cause the exact problem. change from facebook to the issue in the previous step that had the most entries (chances are it is your yahoo email, but not guaranteed)

I would be grateful any advice on how to fix this annoying changes

Are you sure that the file opens in Acrobat when you double-click it? Perhaps, it opens in the drive, or other applications?

Hi all
Need help on the new tab on Mozilla.
I want to be able to type directly into the address bar every time I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything whatsoever. To be more clear, this means that whenever I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
What is happening now is everytime I open a new tab, the cursor is placed anywhere - not on the search bar on the page, and not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
I tried to use the subject: reset config (1) and the custom installation new tab (2), but the two do not work.
When I tried the subject: config reset the reset button has not been highlighted (I assume that means it is by default), and the new custom tab doesn't give a different result.What confused me, it's 2 days ago, my Mozilla works fine. Whenever I open a new tab, the blinking cursor is in the address bar and I was able to type directly.
I thank you and appreciate the help!
Note:
(1) about: config reset:
-Enter about: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
-To avoid the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
-In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
-In the search results, click browser.newtab.url, and then click Reset.(2) add custom reset:
-Install Custom new tab = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
-Open modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
-Side of new custom tab, click the Options button.
-Set any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.Dear philipp and cor - el,
Thank you very much for your help! I've erased all the installation of Firefox and did several restarts, now, the problem goes away (even if I still don't know what the problem of the root).
Thanks again for the quick help.
