New firefox problem restoring tabs
« on: January 16, 2012, 12:57:05 PM »
i noticed that in this new version of firefox there seem to be more instances where it will not restore all tabs from previous session. i have the option "show my windows and tabs from last time" enabled and sometimes it does not reload all tabs but some of them load. I like to leave many tabs open so i don't have to keep reloading the same sites i use and it doesn't seem to work 100%. anyone else noticed this too?

It takes a little longer to refresh them all, but that's about all I've noticed.

When I open firefox I have to press "Restore Previous Session" on the default firefox home page to get them all back

what specifically bugs me is that sometimes i have tabs that apparently restore but when i click on them there is either a blank page with no url or a loaded up site with no url. the loaded site with no url isnt really a big problem as i usually can click something on the site to get the url to show. but totally showing a blank tab when i know that something was there previously is weird.

Odd, what extensions you got installed? Might be one of them

Someone by the name of "Stilez" went on my website and said the following:

Sorry to post here, I don't have an account at Host Helpers and there's no admin contact email - this was quick and easy.

I saw ~this post~ by paulspage at Host Helpers.  If he visits this thread at the Mozilla Firefox forums, he'll find the answer.  There's a config setting in Firefox he needs to change, it's not well known but the effects are unmistakable and exactly what he's trying to resolve.

Thanks. I changed the setting to true and will see if it makes a difference but I havent noticed the tabs not returning lately. maybe im just lucky? Also I didn't have and addons that hide tabs or group them. I noticed the problem not only in tabs but separate firefox windows too.
