I lost my homepage because of a wrong download. I reloaded the correct homepage, but when I try to close firefox the box pops up and asks if i want to close all tabs. I dont want to close them but I dont have achoice. How do I fix this problem. It was working fine before incorrect homepage download

Do you want to close a specific tab? Or do you want to save your tabs for the next time Firefox opens?

What happened to it automaticly being there. My tabs from last night were there when I started this morning, but after the not wanted download I have lost them. Can I not get them to be there when I start firefox?

You might be able to by clicking Firefox --> History --> Restore Previous Session.

I have tried so many things that it shows no history. I can not believe that there is not something that would fix this problem. I think that I am going to have to quit firefox. It doesnt really suprise me all the problems that I am having. Ever since the update about 3 times ago my firefox has not been working good at all. It freezes up all the time, crashes at least 2 time a day. I am done . I wish that I had never done the update, I warned my husband not to do the update, he didnt and has had no problems at all.

If there is anything that I can do to fix all these problems please let me know. I have gone and done all the fixes that support offers and still doesnt work

First of all I see you are running Firefox 5.0. I have seen a lot of users that are experiencing a lot of crashes. A lot of users have fixed this problem by updating to 5.1. You can update to Firefox 5.1 by clicking Firefox --> Help --> About Firefox --> and you should see a button to check for updates or to update to Firefox 5.1. If your not seeing any history then the remember history setting may be off or you may be in private browsing.

You can use:


Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
