Firefox Форум

FF doesn't reliably open my last session. It used to but for nearly 18 months now it has become hit and miss. I have FF docked on my taskbar (Win 7 sp1) when I click it some times it opens all my tabs (I have it set to do that) but more frequently it doesn't and just opens one tab. Usually I catch it and in history select the tab showing many other tabs and I get it all back, but this doesn't always work like today, no option to do that because there's nothing there. When is it likely to be fixed, I've been complaining about this for months. I've even suggested FF collects a stack of last sessions (say 20) each time a session is closed and have a fixed entry for that in the menu, but nothing seems to change. I'm heartily sick of it, it's such a basic requirement of any browser and yet with FF it's just a pain in the neck.

I was trying to change some settings on Firefox and I accidentally closed it and lost all of my tabs. I have the setting enabled to open tabs from last browsing session, but I was messing with the extension OneTab and I lost my open tabs.

Just to be clear, it wasn't the fault of OneTab, this is was my fault for closing Firefox too quickly when it was restoring my tabs and I didn't allow it to finish.

Anyway, in attempting to recover my tabs, I have restored from backup my "sessionrestore-backups" folder; this didn't work. I have also restored my entire Mozilla folder in my profile; this also didn't work.

I also tried following this article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup), but the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file doesn't exist. I did a search for this file in my profile and it doesn't exist anywhere.

Does anyone have any ideas that may help?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Is there a way to export tabs to a PDF file? I need to rebuild my PC and am backing up everything. I have a ton of tabs open. Can I export them somehow so I can import them after I have reinstalled Firefox?

I've searched but what I find doesn't match what I see in my browser as far as menus, etc.

Thanks for your help

If I am on a web site and click a link to another page on the same website Firefox opens a new tab rather than displaying it in the existing tab. How do I get Firefox to NOT do this?

I want my search engine to show on new tabs instead of using the address bar (a very inefficient way to do a search, frankly). For now I either have to use firefox or click on my search bar in the header to get it to come up.

How do I remove pocket from Firefox?

The published solution does not work. When I type "about:config" in the URL, then "pocket," and change the "extensions.pocket.enabled" to "false," the pocket page still shows up after I close a session or a screen asking me to sign in to pocket. I am always closing unnecessary pocket related tabs.

As I remember, one time it worked but only for two days and then the some form of the pocket page showed up again.

Restarting Firefox does not change anything. Please advise.

Hello,

I am desperately trying to recover lost tabs from Firefox Browser after 2 crashes, freezing and forced shutdowns. I need the tabs for my work, and as usually happens, this has occurred at a time when I'm running to meet a critical deadline.

I've tried going to history, but the "recently closed tabs" option was greyed out:-( I've tried searching for other solutions, but cannot fine any that fit my situation. I'm not an IT expert - I know my way around what I need to use (i.e. professional worker), so clear & simple explanation would be much appreciated.

Can I recover the lost tabs from backed up data or a previous system image? My system is Windows 7, and I'm currently running Firefox version 115.0.2. All suggestions welcome!

Thanking you in anticipation off prompt assistance, MLH

I have a problem where after restoring session in FF it makes me unable to drag and move tabs around at all. I tried to start FF in safe mode to see if it was one of the extensions causing it, but that didn't stop it. I noticed that the last time this happened not that long ago it sorted itself out after a while and i regained the ability to move tabs around again, although i still don't know how/why it got sorted out the first time. So i hope someone here could maybe help me a bit.

I am using windows 7 (with the latest update i believe) and updated FF to the latest available version.

About 3 weeks ago I started getting these message windows 'Gah. Your tab has crashed.' I have never seen these before now they're everywhere. I have tried all the Troubleshoot procedures and nothing seems to help. I've done all the cleanups and checked the add-ons but there is nothing new and no changes I am aware of.

you asked for my latest crashes however I erased most of them so I am including what I have left bp-01868ff6-fce8-49ca-9494-8e43c0230609

Currently, my tab preview only show the top of the page, not in the exact position I am currently on in that page! This has made it difficult to track my whereabout!

Can anything be done about this!

Thank you in advance!

I had a crash and the file for about:profiles is not there. It lists a possibility but it says it cannot locate the file (duh). I have a lot of tabs and I need them back. I look in the file locations and other than what the blank profile it is setting up there is only one from about two months ago in local and nothing old in roaming. When I use space sniffer it shows a large file size for what it is using for the current empty default file. It seems like the tabs are there but it is not accessing them. Any way to access those or the files if nothing else? I would rather not just use scrounger at this point unless absolutely necessary. It seems like firefox should have a default to save more than just one recent backup and it would help a lot with this kind of messup. Thanks for any ideas.

Appreciate help for the following: 1. these codes don't work anymore in FF 110: #tabbrowser-tab[first-visible-tab="true"] { margin-left: 3px !important; }

2. Also this one for Tab Separators , works ok except , the "last tab separator on the right" disappeared , I mean the left is visible but the right side of the tab has no separator :

.tab-content {
position: relative !important;
overflow: hidden !important;
--separator-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
}

.tab-content::before,
.tab-content::after {
content: '' !important;
display: block !important;
position: absolute !important;
background-color: var(--separator-color) !important;
width: 1px !important;
height: 28px !important;
transform: translateY(24px) !important;
opacity: 0 !important;
transition: opacity 0.2s ease !important;
}

.tab-content::before {
left: 0 !important;
}

.tab-content::after {
right: 0 !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[visuallyselected][style*=transform]+.tabbrowser-tab[style*=transform] .tab-content::after {
opacity: var(--tab-separator-opacity) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[style*=transform]:not([visuallyselected]) .tab-content::before,
.tabbrowser-tab[style*=transform]+.tabbrowser-tab:not([visuallyselected]) .tab-content::before {
opacity: var(--tab-separator-opacity) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([visuallyselected]):not(:hover):not([multiselected])+.tabbrowser-tab:not([visuallyselected]):not(:hover):not([multiselected]) .tab-content::before {
opacity: var(--tab-separator-opacity) !important;
}

#tabbrowser-tabs[hasadjacentnewtabbutton]:not([overflow]) .tabbrowser-tab[last-visible-tab]:not([visuallyselected]):not(:hover):not([multiselected]) .tab-content::after {
opacity: var(--tab-separator-opacity) !important;
}

#tabbrowser-tabs[overflow] .tabbrowser-tab[pinned]+.tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]) .tab-content::before {
opacity: 0 !important;
}

Any help appreciated Thanks look4

So Amazon audible popped up a firefox session with a talking book after I shutdown. So firefox saved this session to restore next time.

I shut down firefox while I:

1. I understand the file sessionstore.jsonlz4 in session store is a backup of the old tabs. So I saved it

2. I then copied it to the sessionstore folder under the profile. (I only have one folder under the profile folder so it must be the correct target). As a precaution, I also copied the file and renamed it previous.jsonlz4 and recovery.jsonlz4

But I cant get firefox to load it. Firefox stubbornly loads the tabs i just used and then creates new files called previous.jsonlz4 and recovery.jsonlz4 which overwrites my backed up files

So my question is how do I make firefox use the backup file I saved?

TIA/gary

Hi,

First of all, I should ask: Is there a such feature gained with settings or addons that highlights my previous tab, that I didn't closed, but moved from to current tab?

For example: I have 20 tabs opened. And I'm lurking between them so I need to know what was the previous tab where I was before moved to the current tab.

If this feature does not exists I kindly offer to implement it.

Thanks

Hovering over a tab no longer works properly. This used to be a very much appreciated feature. Now it just "blinks" the description of the tab but doesn't leave the text long enough to read it. This feature used to be very helpful when you have a large number of tabs open. Now it's useless.
