  If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.

• How can I stop 11 windows open at startup?

  Whenever I start the beta (updated 03/20/11), it opens 11 windows altogether. Only the first content, others are empty.
  In addition, the tabs open when I closed Firefox are not reopened. In addition, changes to the toolbar are lost.
  I reinstalled without any change of behavior.

• NB100 - windows open at startup

  I hope someone can advise me with what is probably a simple question.

  I use a NB100 running Windows XP Home Edition. There is I believe that some utilities running who remember that the windows are open, when I stopped the netbook, and who then reopens them when I then start it. Can someone tell me how can I disable this feature, because it's driving crazy me and (b) I can't find how to turn it off!

  Thank you.

  There are utilities, you can install that will remember your applications open to restarting. "SmartClose" is one of them, google is your friend.

• G-mail logon window opens at startup (without a gmail account)

  I get a gmail sign - in the popup window as soon as I start Thunderbird. I have four accounts set up for T-bird: three on my private (by Arvixe) domain and the other an ISP not associated with gmail - so I'm getting the pop up, even if I have not all gmail accounts configured to use Thunderbird. I went through all the account settings, that I can find, but I am unable to determine why the sign-in gmail is popping up. Any ideas?

  As for a google calendar?

• How can I stop Explorer to open a new browser window for all the links on my probook4530s?

  Help! Each session end up with too many windows open! It drives me crazy. I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this problem.

  Thanks in advance

  Hey mindia1,

  I don't know which version of Internet Explorer you are using, but these steps are pretty universal. We must ensure that tabbed browsing is enabled.

  1. Open the control panel (click Start, type Control Panel, and then click the Control Panel icon)
  2. Find & open "Internet Options" in the control panel (you may need to "large icons" and no category view)
  3. Under the 'Général' tab, there should be a section called 'tabs '. Click on the button "Tabs" in this article, and you'll find all sorts of options for tabbed browsing.
  4. Set up any way you want, make sure "Enable Tabbed Browsing" is checked.

  

  The settings in this screen are pretty self-explanatory, however if you have any questions about them, feel free to post here. Also, make sure that you are running the latest version of Internet Explorer running Windows Update. IE10 is the latest version for Windows 7 and 8.
