I have looked on the web and continue to find all sorts of references on how to configure your browser to open the tabs I had open last time I closed the browser. I have the "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in the General settings....and it doesn't work! How is that? Any special thing I need to do to get it to work?

In Firefox, reopening the app pre-loads all the last-visited tabs, while Chromium opens a blank sreen and I have a button at the top right of the screen which allows me to select whichever of the last few sessions' tabs I want to have loaded. This is definitely more convenient, as I might be working on different things at different times and need different sites for that purpose. Can we learn from Chromium and make something similar? I think the best would be a combination of both, where Firefox preloads the last visit's tabs like it currently does, but remembering the previous sessions and with the button at the top right to allow picking one of them.

What do you think? And if that is going to take too long to implement, how could I program it for myself? Bear in mind that I'm not a programmer, so it won't be something that I will be able to do today or tomorrow, but I would like to hear some directions. And of course, it would be better if the developers like the idea and make it so for everybody :)

Is Firefox not growing or everything needs to be highlighted? I have never highlighted anything to chrome yet it has done things that are worth it.

I want to do a selective data delete at shutdown.

I want my Firefox cache to be cleared every time I shut it down, but nothing else. I want to keep History, Cookies, and Site Settings.

I was working on my computer when I accidentally clicked out of my tab that had all my pinned windows on it. But then I accidentally started a new tab and deleted it. So now when I try to restore previous session it goes to the tab I just deleted and not the one with all my pins. Is there a way I can get all my pinned tabs back?

There is (IMHO) some missing functionality / unwanted feature or call it what you like (bug?).

History -> Manage History

select e.g. Last 7 days, right click on Name and select at least two attributes (you can choose from: Tags, Location,Most Recent Visit, Added and Last Modified)

Select the first entry of the list, all displayed fields are selected/highlighted.

Copy (either with the menu or with Ctrl-C) and paste it in your favourite text editor.

Why is only the URL copied? Other fields were also highlighted. Why are they not included?

This is WYSINWYG (what you see is not what you get).

It is possible to export bookmarks as an html file, so why is this not possible with history?

OK, it is possible to query the sqlite3 database directly to get some history info but it's a bit cumbersome.

To do so,

  copy the sqlite (places.sqlite) database to some safe place then open the database (with 'sqlite3 places.sqlite')
  get the history info you are interested in with a sqlite query,
  e.g. select title,visit_count,site_name,url,description,last_visit_date from moz_places where url like '%support%';

But there is no simple (AFAIK) way to convert 'last_visit_date' (an integer) to something human readable.

So either include the whole selection when something is copied (WYSIWYG) or provide export history as an html file.


ps: why is there on option 'other' in the list of 'topics' ? pps: I already posted this comment but it got lost somehow

I have always used the option to restore previous tabs on startup. This stopped working a few days ago. After digging into it a bit I discovered that using the ctrl+shfit+q command is the only way to shut down firefox and get my previous session restored after.

I have changed no settings and afaik nothing else has changed. This is wildly inconvenient when just the other day I could close it however I wished and come back the next day to all of my tabs without having to dig it out of the history of closed windows.

Why has this changed and is there any way to restore the previous functionality?

Hello Mozilla,

I am about to trash Firefox ... an app that I have used for years, but in the past few weeks it has become an item of frustration.

I have the lastest version which in itself works great but recently cannot remember settings from session to session. I have reviewed comments on the subject but cannot find a solution.

Help please ... or it will be trashed within the week.

Hello, I've been using Firefox as my main browser for work for a while and I've always been happy with it. However, a recent update (which happened a few days ago) seems to have messed up the UI when it comes to homepage shortcuts. They became much smaller and narrower, while the font seemingly became larger. Now only a few letters fit in the descriptions of every shortcut, which makes it frustratingly difficult to identify them. Please fix this! I've included a screenshot of what my homepage looks now at 100% zoom and with minimum font size 9 selected. There's so much unused space to the sides, while the shortcuts text gets cut after only a few symbols. Increasing the zoom doesn't help.

No search history is covered in the settings. Used to be able to be able to check HISTORY in settings but it always is empty. Something must have changed with the updates cause this has been going on for several months now. Appears you've done away with the History feature. Can find no help in your settings concerning how to restore history. This was a useful feature and Im swiching to Google which I despise but at least they still offer this feature I like.
