Firefox Support Forum

After a computer restart I started a new session without restoring the tabs from the previous session. Is there a way to restore those tabs without selecting each one from History ?

Hey guys, so recently, I open up firefox, open a new tab to view all my thumbnails, and instead, I just see AVG secure search. I hate it. I tried everything. I tried restarting firefox, I Deleted and uninstalled everything remotely related to AVG, and I also dont have any extensions to AVG, I deleted the AVG toolbar but the secure search is still there!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! I really want those thumbnails back!!!! By the way I have windows 8.1

I followed the help link you guys have already created. It instructs to go the 'show all bookmarks' window and drag an already created bookmark to a vacant spot on the 'new tab' page. This doesn't work for my PC as after i drag the desired bookmark, it just opens that page on the new tab page. Please help out with how to add new tiles to the blank new tab page.

I closed Firefox and when I reopened it all my tabs were lost. However, I made a copy of the sessionstore-backups folder the previous day. How can I restore my tabs from this folder?

When using a mouse I know I can middle click (wheel) and the web-link I am clicking will open in a new tab. I also know I can drag that link to the + sign on the tab bar and it will open. But while using the Keyboard only, when I want to open a webpage link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?

I noticed while searching in Mozilla Support that hitting any box opens in a new tab ( this is the effect I want) why does this not happen on other webpages?

I may be answering my own question here but could it be the one 'NewsNow' website that is causing my problem?

When I open a new tab, I no longer get a blank page. Instead, this link opens automatically. search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3319766&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=2&UP=SPBE0988F4-A2BC-4595-B005-51E70B9E0B94 I did nothing to make this change and I don't recognize it at all. I am concerned that my computer may have a virus, so I will do a scan. How do I remove the above link and make it stop appearing when I open a new tab? I just want a blank page.

Hi guys! I'm using the latest version of Firefox. I bought a new laptop today and synced everything from my old laptop and everything is exactly as it was. However, one difference I do notice is that I am now no longer able to create a new tab by clicking to the right of a tab as the little + button has disappeared.

Can anyone help with this? I also have an annoyingly large chunk of blank in the URL bar that wasn't on my old laptop either.

Thank you so much!

I noticed this very intrusive trend recently: First, I have one tab open, and on certain sites when I click on a link (or anywhere on the page, ie. input fields or just the middle of nowhere) it opens the link (or the same page) in new tab, and the previous tab where I was originally loads some ads or other unwanted stuff. (I never checked it thoroughly) Sometimes this goes on 2 or 3 times in a row before I get to my intended destination, leaving me with 2-3 tabs on the left, that do who knows what in the background. Is there any way to get rid of this problem? Thanks in advance for any solutions!

In Firefox under Options I have set the start up tab to be Google but every additional tab I open up opens in Bing with the search.conduit in the address bar. One forum answer said to look in programs for the Conduit program and uninstall it. I did that but new tabs still come up with the Conduit program. I want all the tabs to open up with Google. I feel that Bing via this Conduit program has hijacked my browsing. lWould someone please help me get this resolved.

My latest firefox update includes a search bar IN THE TAB STRIP on top of the page (not the one in the navigation toolbar). It takes up too much space for the tabs and it is useless (since there is already a search bar below it in the navigation toolbar). How do I remove it?

After I installed Avast antivirus, Firefox displays this webpage every time I pres for a new tab... http://websearch.pu-results.info/ It is very annoting as it has adverts flashing on it. How do I configure Firefox to open what I want instead as default for a tab?

I Installed Avira Antivirus and its not good for my PC I Uninstalled, Add On I Delete It but in the Browser Firefox The new tab always show Avira Safe Search how to remove it? Thanks.

Recently, FF has started opening my last tabs when I start a fresh session. I have already checked to make sure that none of the applicable settings are enabled, such as under Options->General: When FF starts "SHOW MY HOMEPAGE" is selected. But for some reason, it opens my last session. The only way I've been able to get it to stop doing this is by having it delete my browsing history after I close the session. I don't want this since I often use my history to re-find information I need for class research. I have made certain that all my settings are the same from before FF started doing this. It only started doing this after the computer was turned off for a long weekend.

I've already searched through the Mozilla help pages and all I can find is how to restore the previous session or similar. I don't want to restore my previous session, I want it to stop restoring my previous session without having to delete my browsing history each time.

When I tried to open firefox it automatically updated and supressed the sessionstore.js file. I saved the sessionstore.bak into another folder, closed mozilla, changed the extension bak to js in the "profiles" folder of firefox and opened it again but nothing happened. Though the sessionstore.bak file is 13Ko big and seems to contain all the links of my previous session.

How could I force Firefox to start a session using the information in the sessionstore.bak or .js file as it should?

What *is* a container/"container tab"? (Please be consistent with the nomenclature)

Do I open tabs within these containers? I just opened a container/"container tab" and did a search from the search bar: it opened a new tab that does not appear to be contained or related to the container/"container tab" in any way. Am I supposed to be able to move tabs into these Containers? Maybe not, because sometimes they are referred to as Container Tabs themselves. Is this the desired behavior, and if so, why?

I had to reinstall W7 on my HD. I saved all of the app data. The bookmark and open tabs list are large and I do not want to import them all to the new install. I want to convert the files to html so I can pick what I reinstall and save the html file for reference. I have searched and don't seem to find a way to convert the jsonlz4 files to html. Is there no converter or easy way to do this? Thanks.

I have my preferences set to open all clicked links in a new tab. For an unknown reason, it just stops working and links open in the same tab. I've done all the tips and tricks to no avail. I can left click the link and choose open in a new tab, but I want it to do it automatically every time. Why does this randomly stop working for extended periods of time?
