Since version 20 when I close a tab after some time tabs don't close and you can't even switch to the closed tab. Which seems to indicate that webpage has close but tab bar has not removed the page entry. This means that tab bar gets filled with old tabs quickly. Only way to recover is to close Firefox and restart. This is very annyoing and forcing me to switch to other browsers. Same problem doesn't happen on older version. Due to this I have right now downgraded to version 15. But our IT will automatically upgrade to latest version very soon.

i have tried for new tab page, also done the process from about:config n all, i successfully got the newtab but once i restart firefox i get blank newtab not the most visited sites type new tab... plz help

On a specific website, when I left click a link it opens but when trying to open the link in a new tab, the new tab opens blank and "javascript:subValue(1)" is seen in the address bar. This website hosts many, many images which I hope to download using a bulk image save addon but those images must first be in separate tabs. Opening these links in new tabs is vital to the process.

I was working on a project with many open tabs (30+) when around 19:30 firefox crashed (which happens quite regularly when that many tabs are open, got used to it). After the crash this time the tab about:sessiorestore didnt come up. Just my small tab on the left side which always stays there (my mail) what i told firefox to do (dont know the name for that in english cause i have dutch firefox) plus a tab with www.Qvo6.com, which also openend in a second window , while i had had only 1 window open. Typing in "about:sessiorestore" myself, the list appeared empty. Lost all of my open tabs. The menu options "Restore last session", "Recently closed tabs" and "Recently closed windows" were all grey and thus empty. I never had this before, it always worked. A lot of work is gone. The additional problem is that i cannot retrieve my tabs from my history cause one of the open tabs was a session restore tab itself, with a session containing a tab with in there also a session restore tab which i all wanted to be able to recover cause that were sites i needed for other important projects i was working on. The third level session restore was longer than 8 months ago, so those sites are not in firefox history anymore (why..? :/) and other, more recently opened pages are SO hard to find back in the thousands of sites i visited in the past 8 month that checking each site will be undoable, since i dont even remember the exact name of opened sites. I hope you can imagine the size of the problem to me here.

So: is there a file where different restored sessions are stored in? cause apparently different sessions can be saved and retrieved. Retrieving a session restore within a session restore - as i just described - did work before. Until you lose em all, like now.

Can sync or xmarks help me maybe..?

I really hope you can help me. Lots of effort and time is lost here. Love to hear from you.

PS can this be related to bug 651803 which i reported before..? ("Recently closed tabs" staying empty)

Oh and I installed and uninstalled a toolbar which changed the startpage to Qvo6.com but even after that, the last crash session restore still worked. Just thought i'd mention it cause Qvo6.com opened two windows while i had had only one open. Maybe that influences start pages after crash like session restore.

When I open a new tab a link is automatically loading , The link is as follows. http://websearch.lookforithere.info/?r=2013/05/20

I request you to please help me to remove this.

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.

When I open new tabs I like to open it to a new window but it will not work. No matter how many times I do it no window will open. I can open a new tab but I like it to be on a new window.

After updating to FireFox 22 it had changed the size of my webpages and menus, tabs, and url box. I asked over at mozillaZine forums, and they told me how to change my webpage size by going into config. This worked, however, as i mentioned, i then noticed that my menus, tabs, and url box had become smaller.So now i need to know how to change this as well.

Every time I return to my home page another Mozilla Start Page tab pops up. I can get multiple such tabs. How do I stop them from appearing? Nothing I have tried works, and that little grid one so-called suggestion doesn't work because the grid rarely appears.

Hello all,

I'm trying to find a way to always open links in the same tab, including external links. I tried the following: browser.link.open_newwindow = 1 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external = 1 (created) browser.link.open_external = 1 But no success =/ Is there anything else to change?

Thanks!

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.

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

Simply I want the option to control how many tiles are there. Nine is ok, but 16, 25, and maybe 36 would be great for options. With the choice of smaller thumbnails or a scrolling screen. Personally I'd like a 16 (4 by 4) That i could scroll down if I wanted to add more rows. Also the auto populate could get you in trouble with naughty pop-ups. Being able to turn off auto-populate would be nice as well. If that is already an option I haven't found it yet.
