Start stuck in restore previous session, changing the options, restart without help.

I can change options such as load blank page. Restart the system, load firefox and get the previous sessions. I look at the options and they say load blank page. also fails the same way for the home page.

Note that your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences whenever you launch Firefox.

The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

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

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.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Rename (or delete) the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Closed (back) tabs get lost and note the sessionstore.js deletion will cause App Tabs and tab groups and open.

    I found 2 similar questions for 10 months ago on forum, ch. w / 25-30 additional people with the prob. 2 weeks ago, I asked about 2 problems, were unable to fix them. Now focus on this one only. Session restore doesn't work after quitting and restore previous session, recently closed tabs, recently closed all gray windows. I tried everything short of uninstall/reinstall and seq. was suggested to create new profile w/o corrupted files, but I have no idea what is corrupt. I'm not a geek, but can generally follow instructions. However, my concentration is impaired, if I really fear the worst.

    I have eliminated all the items that you specified. I tested it a few pages opening and stop smoking, and session restore is available, but not automatic.

    In ADDITION to the original (default) profile, my favorites now appear automatically, instead of having to toggle in the menu of the toolbar in each window. It is the success! AND, "Recently closed tabs" is now available in the original profile. I've just updated Beta 12... ; would be - what my favorites are now working properly and restore the tabs... Well, I just leave and reopened, another update took place, and now I can restore session. Maybe the problem has been all along in the earlier beta version? (The following questions were written before the session restore is available.) "Perhaps they are no longer relevant.) And finally, I quit and reopened and automatically reloaded pages. Maybe the problem is resolved. Still, I would appreciate your opinion on the probable cause of issues.

    "redo any customizations settings in the Firefox Options and customization of the toolbar. Also reinstall all extensions, so they can be initialized correctly. »

    Will I need to download each extension of Mozilla, or can I copy and paste from the old profile? Also, how can I get my story in the new profile.

  • 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.
