My tabs disappear randomly, restored with Ctrl-T
Occasionally, for no reason that I can see all my tabs save for the current page vanish. This happens almost every time I click on a pdf link. They're only hidden, and come back when I invoke a new page. Very irritating though. Any clues on this.
While I'm here, is the current pdf viewer not totally pants? I download and open in Adobe these days.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
To Enable SafeMode
- You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
Thanks for the reply. Due to the intermittentcy (?) of the problem, will let you know.
