Undesirable, closed tab restore on each new session

I want my home page to restore, but a Yahoo! help tab I used weeks ago restore everytime I open FF. And then I close... Very disconcerting. I could find no help on restoring NOT of tabs. Solicited suggestions - thank you!

PS Yahoo! said the problem of FireFox browser, of course.

Assuming you have only accounts it is usual for not only one Firefox profile.

In my first post in this thread, I have included links to articles explaining about the profile and how to open it. The cuyly9gy.default file would be the Firefox profile. Firefox calls by default to the folder and named with some additional main characters to improve security and give it a name that is likely to be unique.

  • Since the update to firefox 25 my 'undo closed tab', 'Restore recently closed tabs' and 'restore previous session' is grayed out, I tried to reset by default

    I only had this problem since update to firefox 25. I tried to reset the deafaults ff. He did restore the "undo close tab" for a short period. but when I quit and restarted ff I have the same problem again. I don't want to have to keep resetting to the default settings, because it's too much time to then get back all my preferences.

    I had this problem as well, I couldn't choose "Restore recently closed tabs" as historic because it is grayed out.

    I went to Subject: config und from 0 (10 is the default value), browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo to 10 and I set browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0 (including default 3) 3.

    For me, this problem solved my problem und now I can restore recently closed tabs.

  • How to re - activate the functions 'Restore previous Session', "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed Windows" in the menu of history?

    For some time, four choices in the restore section (tabs of other devices, Previous Session Restore recently closed tabs and recently closed Windows) have been shaded. Keyboard shortcuts do not work, and didn't undo closed tab in the context menu of the tab.

    I found and tried various patches to do this, including:

    • From Firefox in Mode safe without addons.
    • Firefox reset.
    • Change the values of browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo in all: config.
    • Check to see if I have a user.js in profile Firefox. (I don't).
    • Verify that the private browsing is not the default mode. (It is not).
    • Create a profile to see if it had the same problem. (He did.)
    • Running anti-malware analysis. (BitDefender and SpyBot).
    • Temporarily disable my anti-virus and anti-malware.

    Any of these solve my problems.

    Other devices tab is grayed out, but I've never used, and it might have previously grayed out.

    The story works in general. Sites I visit are added to the log.

    Preferences are saved correctly when I change them.

    Any advice on how to solve the problem would be much appreciated, as I am very fond of these features and often served until they stopped working.

    ADDITIVE

    After that looking through the list of preferences of change created by the resolution of the problems, I tried now also reset the following text:

    • browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion
    • browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
    • Browser.cache.Disk.Capacity
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.first_run
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size.use_old_max
    • Browser.cache.Disk.smart_size_cached_value

    The problem persists.

    I finally managed to understand this. In searching the Web, I found a thread detailing a similar problem on the Mozillazine forum. The problem has been identified as a missing browser.sessionstore.enabled set, so I went looking in Subject: config and couldn't find it. After creating the entry, by assigning the value true and restart Firefox, the functions of recovery/recently started working again. Apparently, some bookmark plugins and session-based can cause this problem, but in my case, it must have been something else, that I never had no such plug-ins installed.

    If you have this problem, here's a detailed itinerary of the way I fixed it. Whereas there seems to be several problems that can cause restore/recently functions to stop working, it is not a guaranteed fix, but it is still a thing to try, at least.

    1. Open a new tab or window.
    2. Type of topic: config address in the box and press ENTER.
    3. Read reviews and promise to be careful.
    4. Copy this: browser.sessionstore.enabled - and paste in Subject: config'search box in s. press ENTER.
    5. If you copied the text at the top right, the setting should appear in the list. If it is not the case, you have the same problem, I did. (I would say that you copy/paste the text indicated and only this text before moving on to double check).
    6. If the parameter does not exist, right click on the parameters of the list and choose new-> Boolean. Paste the parameter name that you copied previously in the name box, click OK and then set the Boolean true. Once you have click OK, restart Firefox, and (hopefully) things should work properly again.

    Thanks to everyone who offered help and thoughts!

  • How do disable you a restore session each time that you enter in a new session?

    I enter a new session and it restores my last session after closing. I tried all the beasts on: config suggested other issues stuff and it didn't work. I have a homepage set. I have the good session restore attributes, set to false. I don't know what else to do. It is a 'feature' annoying! Why did do this?

    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.

    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.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

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

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them .html and .txt, so you can see only a file name without .ini and .js file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • During the closure of 2 windows (with several tabs), restore the system does restore properly the tabs in the window of the second. Is this a bug in the new update / all ideas to fix?

    I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs of each and session restore would work to bring them all back, but after this last updated the second window restores correctly, with the first non-visible tab on top (only in the menu drop-down) and now the button add a tab on the left (instead of right). Add a button to the tab is not really as far as concerns the other than it indicates other problems with the tabs in the 2nd window. No no not the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can't move or also easily navigate. Also, the tabs on the top of the 2nd window which are visible is no longer have the 'x' to close visible, except when this tab is selected. I'm assuming that it is a problem with the new version/update, since this is the first time I encountered the problem, and I closed and restored Firefox several times to make sure it was a recurring problem and not a one-time problem. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome (except maybe cramming my tabs on a window or it suck XD).

    Thank you for your help. None of your suggested solutions worked, but having just updated to 10.0.2 seems to have solved the problem.

  • New session started with an advertising page and all my tabs are lost

    New session started with an advertising page and all my tabs are lost. Restore the previous session is not active. How can I restore my tabs?

    Great work!

    Sessionstore.bak files are ancient, probably autour time that you have installed Firefox 33 when the sessionstore-backup folder has been added.

    To try using one or more files in the sessionstore-backup folder, here is the process:

    (1) exit Firefox and it must create a sessionstore.js from the main level of the profile folder file.

    (2) rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old file, or if you think that you will ever need, delete it.

    (3) copy in recovery.js or previous.js and rename sessionstore.js.

    (4) start Firefox then try to restore previous Session. Those are the tabs you want? If this isn't the case, you can try one of the other files in your backup sessionstore-backup.

    If none of the files has the missing tabs, you could try a recent Windows restore point. It's more complicated on Windows 8 on Windows 7, and you could benefit from using a third-party utility. These have been mentioned in another thread:

    Or... I read on a roundabout way to get previous Versions on the Properties dialog box in Windows 8. I can't test it myself, but here's what you do:

    In the address bar of your Windows Explorer dialog box, replace the current path with the following and press ENTER:

    \\localhost\c$

    Then click at the end and nail on the following (with your user name) and press ENTER:

    \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    That should help you in the vicinity of your profile folder. Then you can right-click sessionstore.js > properties > Previous Versions, or try one of the files in sessionstore-backups.

  • I can't use restore "previously closed tabs" option button in the history tab, it appears greyed out and unclickable.

    It happened some time ago and he returned, I know there's a similar topic, but I want to know how to do this without having to reset firefox, I'm sure there is an option for this all: config, but I need to check first.

    You can check the prefs of . browser.sessionstore * including browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash on the topic: config page and reset the browser.sessionstore prefs that are correct (in bold) user via the context menu in the default value to make sure that the Session Restore is enabled and functional.

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

    As long as when you uninstall the beta version of Firefox, you make sure that you ask him to remove your personal data and customizations, you'll be fine.

  • At the opening of my hotmail, firefox opens a new session instead a new tab.

    I have MSN as my homepage. When I open hotmail in the past, he would open a new tab just below the toolbar - (you have only an open session). Now, when I go to open hotmail, it opens a new session instead of opening a new tab. Before, I'd have tabs as: MSN, Webcam live hotmail, Google, etc. It is obvious that I called a command to do this and now I do not know how to reverse.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is a week ago

    I'm having the same problem. Hotmail will open in a new window, not in a new tab. How to change that?

  • Little extra fun to the point of restoration scheduled for each new installtion of hardware or software

    As I put my machine to sleep more often than its reboot. I noticed that I don't have many restore points. I also noticed that I do not get one restore point with new facilities I thought default configuration.

    More I don't seem to find a guide to configure manually. So I have to be careful not to forget to do manual restore point before the development of hardware and/or software.

    Am I missing something or there is no help on this particular but many needed configuration.

    If there is one, I'd be grateful for a link. I don't want to spend time on each step by trial and error.

    Thank you.

    Hi Babak,

    I apologize for my late reply.

    The old restore points are deleted automatically depending on the space available for the feature. This means that it is only possible to restore the latter States of the system.

    I suggest you to check if the system restore points are available in the System Volume Information folder.

    Please try the following steps to view the folder and give permission for it.

    Step 1. View the System Volume Information folder.

    1. Go to computer > C:\ (or your root directory).
    2. Click schedule in the navigation above.
    3. Click on folder and search options and go to the display tab.
    4. Click on the radio button Show hidden files folders and files.
    5. Uncheck the option that hide (recommended) operating system protected files.
    6. Click OK.

    Step 2. Grant permissions in the folder System Volume Information.

    On the C:\ drive, you will now be able to see the System Volume Information folder.

    1. Right-click on the System Volume Information folder.
    2. Click on Properties.
    3. Go to the Security tab and click Edit.
    4. Click on Add.
    5. Type everyone in the space to enter names.
    6. Click check names , and then click OK.
    7. Checkbox control in the list of permissions for all the world.
    8. Click apply and then click continue on each pop-up you receive later.
    9. Click OK.

    Hide the folder again by check marking the option that hide (recommended) operating system protected files in step 1.

    Now open the folder and check how many restore points are available. System restore use cryptic names. The best way to identify them is to look at the date they were created or modified. Choose the ones you want to back up. It is recommended to copy the system restore points somewhere else.

    Now, you can restore the changes made in the system restore folder and the visibility of the folder. If you want to restore a previously saved to system restore point, you must copy it to this folder to be able to do.

    Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

  • History tab drop down too after session restore?

    After the restoration of a previous session and holding down the back button to display the menu drop-down History tab, it shows the last 10 pages visited. This setting, in: config, allows me to increase this number?

    Found. This is "browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_back". The default value is 10. In order to ensure that there is no limit to the number of pages you can go backwards, set this value to-1.

    Note that 'browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_forward' has the value - 1 by default. so already, there is no limit to the number of pages you can go forward, oddly enough.

  • 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.

  • Hello, I have a big problem with Firefox: Session Manager &amp; Undo Closed Tab addons don't work, synchronization is not working do not. The story works. How to solve this problem?

    Firefox remembers the story, but doesn't remember the closed tabs, sessions.
    It happened after the Fox update to v. 19.0.2 on a single computer.

    In Options of Firefox is set to use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except always use Private Browsing Mode. So I'm not in private browsing.

    When I press to Undo Closed button nothing happens, & in the Manager session Save Session button is grayed. I tried to install other add-ons that remembers the tabs. tried to reinstall/disable these 2 modules. Did ' t help. On my 2nd computer I have same modules, same settings and they work normally. the 3rd closed computer undo works tabs also. How to solve this problem? I decided to ask before Firefox Reset...

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sync is a separate issue. It works, but quite often it connects me sync account. Then I can connect only using the recovery key password and long (option choice I have no device with me because he does not accept the key to pairing device).

    Thanks for reading.
