Tabs, windows and lost after updating to Firefox and page seems gross

I don't think that you have respect for those who use Firefox. Do you understand how many of us work for the House and need this platform to work for our COMPANY? I think you play games with users, at our expense.

So furious that I must try to solve your problems when I have to work. Last night you gave me a message to try to refresh. You said that everything would be saved.

I TRUSTED YOU. Available on the page at the top has been terrible, and I don't know where my addons went. Still, it seems impractical. but at least my tabs were all there.

Today, you have LOST ALL MY TABS except the ones pinned. All the windows gone, too. I copied the sqlt places of my old Firefox Desktop data to the new folder AppData profile several times. Never worked. FF just kept coming back to show me the pinned tabs.

Really, you evaluate these things first? I want to completely delete this useless refresh and come back when things worked.
WPA

Please, take a deep breath. Now:

There is no way one click to cancel a refresh, but here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's perhaps faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.

Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

Overview

Here are the steps described in more detail below:

  1. Create a new Firefox profile
  2. Delete all of this profile folder
  3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following text in the search box of the start menu, or the start > Run dialog box and pressing ENTER:

firefox.exe -P

Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

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

In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

Copy old data instead of new

In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

Launch Firefox

Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

  • How can I recover my lost after updating to Firefox v33 tabs?

    Problem: After updated to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP the tabs in my previous session, which was last night at 23:38 UTC

    Here are the steps I took:

    (1) history > restore previous session is grayed out.

    (2) I checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > general Panel > when Firefox starts: show my windows and tabs from last time.

    (3) I clicked on Firefox > properties > Previous Versions. But since I have never set up any kind of restore configuration, there is no earlier versions available.

    (4) I tried to search the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder and replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because this file date has changed to 14/10/2014 18:38. However, I can't find the session.js file and the files only related to sessionstore I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak - 20140923175406.

    Help, please! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to history to find my tabs one by one, because I also had groups of tabs that I didn't open in a month or more and each group of tabs have several tabs in them also.

    First of all, very important, please make a backup of all files that begin with sessionstore in a safe place, such as your Documents folder.

    If the .js extension does not appear on your file sessionstore.js (the session.js file), you can stop hiding file extensions windows, at least temporarily. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

    If sessionstore.js is completely absent, it's very strange. In this case, I suggest to leave Firefox and then rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.bak to see if Firefox can read this file when it starts again.

    There are a few techniques to extract the URL of sessionstore.* files which can be useful if sessionstore.bak is not useful.

  • Firefox does not not on Windows 8.1 after update to 32.0

    For the last three versions 30.0 and 31.0 32.0 Firefox does not work after update on my laptop Windows 8.1. I tried Firefox reset State by default, uninstall and reinstall and reset my TCP/IP stack (which usually fixes the problem). I also went to Internet Options in IE 11 and unchecked the auto detect settings in the options of LAN connection and then checked again without success. I also have Chrome installed on my machine to check to see if it is in the browser or my internet connection.

    Internet Explorer 11 is the only browser that works so something seems to be wrong in Firefox.

    I discovered that my Norton Internet Security firewall blocking the new version of the program. Chrome has recently developed automatic updated also and I think too, it was blocked.

  • Can the "first run after update of Firefox" (aka. "What's New" and "Add-on compatibility check") be disabled?

    We intend to deploy an update to Firefox on our campus. The question I have is this: after the update, the "compatibility of the add-on Checker" appears, then the 'What's new' page appears during the first boot after the update. In this case: we use Deep Freeze to prevent kids to do any mischief based on software on the machines. But if we push the update at night, during maintenance windows, they will be frozen in the pre-first-time-run mode. So, whenever a student starts the PC after that, they will get the popup of compatibility both the "What's new" page

    Is there a way I can disable that during the upgrade, so that students will not have to click on these 2 points away? I would like for Firefox just silently disable incompatible modules and do not display the page "news". I found ways to do it, but they involve editing omni.jar and others. I'd rather have a formal, documented way to do this.

    Thank you!!

    Well, eventually nothing worked, except all the settings I wanted to put in part of mozilla.cfg. When I added your suggestion, and one I found on the web to disable add-on compatibility check, I finally have a Firefox that loads directly to the homepage, even after the upgrade.

    Here's what my mozilla.cfg file contains (to 6.0.2):

    // Disable any auto-updates.
    lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("browser.search.update", false);
    lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
    lockPref("extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0", false);

    Of course, I must make the byteshift-13 at it, but copy the Core\ file and the file firefox.js to Core\Defaults\Pref\ the round is played.

    Thanks for the help!

  • 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.

  • WiFi signal is completely lost after update of Windows 8

    Hello

    My new Asus PC with Windows 8 and wifi works well until I did update of windows, after updating my wifi signal was completely gone, I made the sentence that tells me that my internet cable is not connected, he sees not my wifi in all more than shooting.

    I reset my computer and wifi still works, however, I am very concerned to make the necessary update yet as I need internet and I can't afford to keep downloading updates on and more.

    I look forward eagerly for your help with my problem.

    Thank you

    I had this same problem. I have a PC HP, but the solution for yours should be similar. I downloaded the form from their Web site Intel wireless driver update, and it solved my problem.

    Here's what I did:

    1. Forehand app, open the 'search '.
    2. Select 'Settings' as the place of your search
    3. Search for 'Pilot' (without the quotes)
    4. Click on "Update device drivers"
    5. Scroll down to "network adapters."
    6. See if there is a Intel. Mine is called "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 #2. Want to know what it's called.
    7. Google search (on another computer, or use a network cable to attach your PC physically) for all that your card has been called. I searched "intel centrino wireless-n 2230.
    8. Click on the result of intel.com. He expected to be the first, but it's the one you want.
    9. You will be at the product page. There is a bar on the side with a link called 'Information of Support' in there. Click on that.
    10. Click on "Intel PROSet Wireless software and drivers for Windows 8"
    11. There should be a bunch of links to download the software. You want the number of bits that correspond to your system. (32 bit systems / x 86 get the 32-bit software, 64 bits of the system gets 64-bit software)
    12. Once downloaded, run the software. If you have downloaded the driver on another computer, you need to transfer via on a USB stick or something before you install it.
    13. The software should do its thing and then ask to reboot. Do it.
    14. You should be good to go. Good luck, and I hope it helps.
