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.

Everytime I open up Firefox, two tabs open up. The first is a Firefox page and the other is my home page. How do I stop the first tab from opening?

I would like to stop the firefox tab (what I assume is the firefox home page) and only want one tab to open when I bring up my browser.

First, this delta search site kept opening every time I opened a new tab. So I got rid of that, but then every time I opened a new tab, the page was blank. I followed the about:config directions which would help me get the "pinned tabs" page back, but every time I closed FF and reopened, the same issue would reoccur. Now, every time I open a new tab, it goes to my homepage. I Just want to know how to get the pinned tabs back permanently.

I've noticed my open tabs do not sync automatically like it does when I move from desktop to my Android device. Example scenario to explain this better:

I'm on my desktop Firefox with several open tabs. Then I pick up my Android device (4.2 Jelly Bean) and open Firefox Android, and I go to open new tab and chose the "Sync" menu, unfortunately the tabs it shows from my desktop device are not up to date at all.

In fact the only way I've found to sync up these tabs is to go on my Android device under Sync -> Firefox Sync -> Menu Button -> Sync Now. Then my tabs update perfect, but shouldn't this just happen automatically, or at least from a "Sync Now" button right in Firefox Android? Am I completely missing something obvious?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I have a slight problem with the firefox sessionrestore on ubuntu (13.04 64bit). Every time I login after a shutdown/logout and open firefox it opens all the tabs and windows I had when shutting down. It seems that firefox thinks it crashed after a reboot since a normal exit/relaunch shows me a single empty page (which i prefer)

After googling a lot of relevant settings about disabling the sessionstore in about:config were suggested but none worked. I'll try to sum up the settings that seem related ot that I changed but can't be sure of all I did, I've been struggling with it for some months (since I changed from chrome to firefox) and didn't document my changes.

I've tried disabling all addons and start a clean profile but that didn't change anything so I reverted to my old profile, I don't have a second pc to test on so I'm not sure if this problem is limited to my setup.

I've set:

  • browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to false
  • browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0
  • browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo to 0
  • browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 0
  • toolkit.startup.max_resumed_crashes

Default:

  • browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once is false
  • browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs is false
  • browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand is false

Is there anything else I can try to test or fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!

For whatever reason there is a search engine embedded in the data of my Firefox software called "sweetpacks" or something of the sort. I cannot remove it and I am getting very irritated by this. I have uninstalled everything that registers on my computer, and I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox browser. Nothing is working to remove this.

Lately when I right click on links and hit "open in new tab," the new tab will come up with ChristianMingle.com and the link will act as if it has not been pressed. At first it was only happening on a specific website, but now it's happening on other sites too. I already spoke to the other website, and we have pretty much ruled out that it is their site and therefore I think it's something on my end. What might cause this? How can I stop it?

I am desperate to remove Delta Search from my new tab page. What do I do after I open about:config? I have done at least a dozen resets, have removed DS via add/remove, am running a virus scan at present...this is TERRIBLE, and there HAS to be a way to get rid of it. When I do a reset, the new tab page is what I WANT...my previously saved pages. However, when I CLOSE FF and reopen, the new page is, once again, Delta. Can you hear me SCREAM? Can you see my TEARS? I am really fed up. Thanks for getting back to me with a solution that WORKS. jo

I can open & close tabs just fine, except when I try to close the final tab to close the browser & get off of the internet. This problem seems to prevent me from then turning off my computer using the Windows menu. In order to close the internet I have to turn off the power to my computer manually. When I say manually, I mean I have to turn off the power strip that it's plugged into. Then when I get back on the internet the same problem occurs. What is preventing me from closing the final tab? I never had this problem previously, now all of a sudden I have it chronically. Is there a way to fix this? Incidentally your help pages are terrible. The questions it tried to relate this question to weren't even close to the same problem.
