Why my "display windows and tabs from last time ' does not work?

Hi all

I used to have my settings set to "display windows and tabs from last time." For some reason, it does not. Whenever I close my tabs, Firefox warns you me I close many tabs, and when I reopen it Firefox, I only get my home page.

In the menu options, I put 'windows and tabs from last time' options, and in private life, I have "Firefox will remember history", so I do not think it is related to my settings.

I saw a thread on 'browser.sessionstore.enabled' must be true about: config, but I don't have even a name preference that says "browser.sessionstore.enabled. Maybe that's the problem? If so, I have NO IDEA how to fix this. I only am not at all computer savvy.

If someone could find a solution to this very annoying problem, I would be very grateful. If it takes a lot of work of programming/techno, please be VERY descriptive (pretend I'm a 5 year old child in giving directions).

Thank you!

Browser.sessionstore.Enabled is no longer used, worry not if you can't find it.

In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

  • do not erase browsing history – which will prevent the restoration of the work session.

Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, installation of software, passwords, and other specific data from Web site.

Deletion of cookies will delete all specified (selected) cookies, including cookies with an exception allowing you want to keep.

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.

  • Show my windows and tabs from last time does not not in 14.0.1

    Last week, the functionality of Firefox to display the tabs from last time has stopped working. He can't have worked earlier.
    I can't find any reference to what is a matter of news, but according to the existing guidelines and what I tried, it should work.
    Any ideas?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

  • Display windows and tabs from last time, how to make Firefox...

    In my 'options', I selected "display windows and tabs from last time '. On some accounts of users, or in some cases, it will be, in fact, open all the windows from a previous session. At other times, or in some cases, it opens only the last window I closed. How do all the windows to open since the last time I was online?

    Only the last window is restored if you close one by one with the X Windows close in the title bar.

    You must use File > Exit Firefox to close all the open windows at the same time if you want to reopen several windows.

  • "Show my windows and tabs from last time ' has stopped working after software updated to the end of January or early February. Now on 12.0a2. Change options "Auora to start: ' no longer works.

    I use this feature for years and update Firefox/Aurora in the next few days, maybe a week, an update becomes available and everything suddenly ' show my windows and tabs from last time ' has stopped working. I can go to the Tools-Option-general tab and change "at Aurora startup:" to this option, or 'Show my home page (s)' and now the opening in a new tab single even though I have URLs there. This may mean that this bit is not read correctly. I'm not playing: config, but I watch a few spoken options in the Web and everything looked OK.

    I would uninstall and reinstall it if you think it will solve the problem. I updated Aurora again because this problem started and it remains broken. It is a system of XP with SP3

    PS: I have two other windows with a XP and the other Windows 7. When I had the problem on my primary XP System I stopped to make updates to other systems. Today I updated the two other systems with the latest Auora (skip one or two updates) and both work very well.

    The best way for me to trouble?

    Hey punchcard4rjw,

    Have you tried to start Firefox in Mode safe? Key 'shift' startup of Firefox. If it doesn't happen in Mode without failure, you should read the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.

    If this does not work, you should look the article How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Hope this helps!

    After reclassification of the 10.0.1 to 10.0.2, the feature to display the windows and tabs from the previous session has stopped working and it just opens the home page.

    10.0.1, closing of Firefox with several tabs open is enough to close it. On the restart, all the front legs are shown.

    In 10.0.2, closing of Firefox with several tabs open the message that I am about to close several tabs appears. He launched on the restart, only the home page.

    Use ' Firefox/file > output "(Mac: ' Firefox > quit smoking";) Linux: "file > exit ') to close Firefox if you're doing that by clicking on the X close in the title bar.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

    Hello

    Recently, I noticed that Firefox always opens the tabs I opened yesterday, but not ones I opened directly before I closed it. I installed nightly Firefox 11 (32-bit) and 14 (64-bit), and it is the same with both. I might add that it was operating normally before the story still works. In addition, 11 Firefox does not save the setting "do not load tabs until you choose. Please help solve this problem.

    Random Firefox user

    See if in the Privacy panel in Firefox will: is set to use the custom settings for history and ensure that Permanent private browsing is not enabled.

    also: to clear history of Firefox closing is selected, and then in settings , make sure that the navigation history is not selected.

  • Even if the setting is correct, Firefox does not windows and tabs from last time at the reopening?

    I have the habit of keeping three firefox windows open at the same time and I've always defined (under the general tab) ' display windows and tabs from last time '. It has stopped working. The setting is the same, but when I close and then reopen firefox, it opens the window only, not the three Windows I closed.

    It has already set to reopen tabs, and I have not erased from history. He left the reopening correctly this morning after I let him "verify" a signature on the Toastmasters International website downloading a form of voucher. I am running 8.0.1. He froze and crashed after that I have is allowed only. I have just discovered that I can reopen the tabs by clicking on "restore closed window" and the session I wanted. However the window of before the crash has lost, which means I had to rebuild my list of tabs. Recently closed tabs is grayed out.

  • Options set for the windows and tabs from last time

    Hello

    I put "Options/général" to display the tabs from last time. very suddenly earlier this week Firefox (I use Version 31) stop n apparent reason and since my tabs are is no longer registered despite article in the 'general' still reading of "save windows and tabs from last time '. How can I fix this? I tried one of the suggestions - remove the tick in the box next to 'do not load the tabs until you have chosen', but this made no difference. What I need to change something in the ' subject: config ' file?

    As well as to happen, my favorites have changed as well. Initially, the Bookmarks imported from Internet Explorer, and those created in Firefox was in a continuous string. There is now a separate file containing bookmarks to Internet Explorer. Is it possible to combine the two sets of bookmarks in a game as they were before?

    I know that the 31 Version has been updated, but the reason that I have not updated my current setup is that whenever I update Firefox something unexpected or undesirable occurs.

    It is best to not double-click the .js files: flowing through a shell script from Windows with potentially unpredictable consequences. To display as text, you can right-click > edit the .js file. (However, these files contain data which are difficult to interpret.)

    When the restoration of previous Session is grayed out, it can mean that Firefox (1) already restored your previous session or Firefox (2) did not find a historic session file. In this case, it seems that the #1 is more likely.

    The session history works in real time? I mean, if you right click on a link and open it in a new window, then close this window, the menu history lists it as a window, you can restore?

    So if you exit Firefox and restart it upward, is the closed window still listed in the history as a window menu, you can restore?

  • I want to set so that I get the system restore, but when I go to tools, general, during startup of Firefox, show my windows and tabs from last time is gray and cannot be chosen - how to select, please?

    In addition, above and below the central main screen shows the desktop in the bottom of the tool or menu and the address bar and one downstairs that displays the current pages of use, clock, etc. This should be now or can we change it?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in private - browsing using Firefox without saving the story mode (permanent).

    • In private browsing mode some menu items and features are disabled and show as gray choice.
    • You're in private browsing mode, if you see "tools > stop private browsing", possibly gray.
    • You enter private browsing mode, if you select: Tools > Options > privacy > History: Firefox will be: "don't forget the story ever.
    • To view the history settings and cookies, choose: Tools > Options > privacy, choose the Firefox will setting: use the custom settings for history
    • Uncheck: [] "Permanent private browsing Mode.

    Another possibility is to use:

  • In "Général" it allows me to select ' show my windows and tabs from last time '.

    In "General", "Startup", "when Firefox starts:" it does not select ' show my windows and tabs from last time. " It allows you to 'Show my home page' and 'white page '. If it is not resolved, I'm going to change browsers.
