Hi, I followed the Mozilla guide to use tab manager or whatever its called and ended up losing all my tabs rather than saving them which was my original intention. The part where it says "now hold ctrl shift + e" is pretty stupid because as soon as you do that you can no longer see the webpage guide that you're reading from. Needless to say, I had no idea what to do next so I clicked the first X I could see to get rid of the tab manager and apparently it destroyed all my tabs.

Anyway, I managed to locate a backup of my sessionrestore.js but for some reason it just WILL NOT load into firefox.

I replaced the new .js with the old one and opened firefox but it just loads the firefox search bar or w/e it is. I have tried checking all the about:config settings and they all appear to be working.. I tried typing about:sessionrestore and it just brings up a "This is embarrassing" page but with no tabs in the restore box.

I have opened the .js in notepad and all the web pages seem to be there but I can't make head nor tail of the thing and to sift through it all and find the tabs I lost would take forever.

Its very frustrating and I have tried 6 different backups of sessionrestore.js None will work. Is something wrong with my firefox or is this whole function just faulty because I found hundreds of similar issues while googling for help.

I am on FF 19.0.2

This image shows a very large space above my tabs. I want to throw my cursor at the top of the screen and click a tab, and this prevents that. How can I get rid of this large space?

EDIT: I have fixed this problem myself by doing a "factory reset" on Firefox, which can be done by clicking on the orange Firefox button on the top-right, then going to Help > Troubleshoot Information. In there should be a button called "Reset Firefox". This puts the tabs at the back.

Every time I open a new tab, Firefox make a noise. I want to stop it. Doesn't matter whether it is a new blank tab or a linked tab, I hear the same sound. There is nowhere obvious to turn it off. Any ideas please?

firebox above 20.0 version in my page i have proceed and reproceed button after entering values i click proceed button after i take pdf report it open a new tab and again click reproceed button it open a new tab with same contents

I set up the group tabs and they worked, but then I left the group to a site not in the groups. When I clicked on the group tabs icon to get back to the group tabs, the group windows were there, but empty except the site that I was currently on was in showing on top (in) one of the groups. I find no clear instructions on how to save these group tabs and their content, or reopen them in another session. Please explain how to save these group tabs and then reopen them. If you are going to post an answer instead of sending me an email, I'll never find it - please send me an email answer.

For a long time my chosen websites appeared as thumbnail images on the new tab page when I began a new session, maybe since about FF15, I don't recall for sure. Recently, however, whilst using FF20.0.1 this behaviour stopped and none of the thumbnail images for my selected websites opened up, although the links to them remained and this behaviour has continued to FF21, which I have been using since yesterday (19th May). This is not a serious issue, but I do like things to work properly and to understand why they don't. I don't know why there should be a relationship between the two events, but the problem began after having opened the new tab page and before the images opened up I clicked on one of the links - where the thumbnail image would normally be - to go to the website; thereafter FF failed to retain a memory of the thumbnail images from one session to the next. By the way, I never empty my history cache only my main web cache that has previously had no effect on my new tab thumbnails, not since about FF15 or so anyway.

Whenever I click a link in firefox, whether I option-click it or right-click it and choose "Open in new Tab." Firefox lately always opens a new window, not a tab. For the life of me, I cannot get it to open a page in a new tab.

There was a time when I had one window open, and every time I would choose to create a new tab, it would create it in that window instead of the window I was currently in, but I have since closed that window, and now I cannot get a link to open in a new tab no matter what I do.

I have tried both selecting and deselecting "Open new windows in a new tab instead" In Firefox preferences, restarting Firefox in "Safe" mode, etc. to no avail.

How do I fix this?

That's pretty much it. Any link I click on opens in a new tab. For example anything on facebook: a new notification, clicking on pictures, clicking on the facebook icon to refresh the page. I can't click on anything with out it opening a new tab.

Guys from Mozilla..... realy? Two tabs, no heavy plugins (flash is separate process), fresh OS, read other troubleshoots about memory and over 300 MB usage? That's greedy... Picture can save 1000 words. http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/2734/10358827.png

Whenever I click a link, it opens in a new tab. This just started almost a week ago, but I didn't change any settings or click anything--it just started doing it by itself. It is extremely irritating, because it just increases the number of tabs I have.

Every time I try to drag and drop a bookmark into the new tab page, it opens the web page in that tab instead of adding it to the square. I've tried it on safe mode as well with the same results. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.

My default homepage is set to google, as is my toolbar search engine, but I cannot figure out how to change my tab homepage. I would like it to either go to my default homepage or show the original new tabs option where there is thumbnails of my most visited sites. I will take either of these as this stupid bing or express files search engine thing that pops up whenever I open a new tab is starting to get on my last nerve. I have tried using the add-on for tab homepage but that also seems to be unsuccessful.

no matter how i configure the tabs setting in firefox (open links and new windows in a new tab) , all links, URLs and bookmarks open in the same tab, instead of as separate tabs, unless i first open a new tab and then select/enter the link, URL or bookmark.

for this reason, i ALWAYS use Tab Mix Plus extension...this has mastered the use of tabbed browsing and is very easy to set up and keep up...i dont have to open blank tabs first and TMP has other options too...

i just downgraded from FF 17 to FF 16 bc Tab Mix Plus doesnt work with FF 17 and i wont have my browsing hindered by FF inability to make their tabs work...

btw, i always revert to a previous version of FF until Tab Mix Plus is updated to work with the current FF upgrade...

not sure how i got it but http://start.search.us.com/?guid={1740BAA1-E22C-4974-BBC4-E1DBBE0B7026}&serpv=1 keeps setting as my browser home page, tried the about:config in URL and was able to reset but every time i closed browser still sets that site as home page. please help....
