Problem with settings
I'm having trouble with my settings since the latest update. I only have 3options for the "Tabs"-part under "General" in the settings. And because of this I can't make Firefox load all tabs at once when I open the browser, instead I have to click on each tab in turn to load all of them. I have included a screenshot of the settings page but it is in Swedish, but as you can see there are options missing for the tabs section (in Swedish, tabs = flikar). Is there something that can be done to fix this?

Are you talking about the pages you want to open when you start Firefox? The best way to do this is;
Open the browser. Then set up the windows and tabs the way you want. Once this is done, open another window and type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page. But you should use;
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
After, look at the data string. Look for |about:preferences#general or |about:preferences and remove it.
That should do it.
That's not the problem. I have the it set so a number of tabs open when I open the browser and they appear in the tabs-row as they should. However the pages dosen't load until I click on it. It's like I've marked the box named "Don't load tabs until selected" in the Firefox Options-page, but as you can see in the screenshot that box isn't even there. I only have 3boxes there, there used to be about 6. That is where my problem lies I think, I'm missing some of the boxes that used to be there.
Following the above instructions, you can replace the missing tabs. As to not loading until selected, I did not see anything in your add-ons list on this. Did you confirm your settings?
Firefox 47 may have changed how this works.
