Hot sure why it is doing this.

Any hints of what file contains that old set of tabs and windows
so I can clear it?


Quite FF

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/yourprofile

rm sessions/*

rm sessionstore-backups/*

rm sessionstore.js


Hi all,
Tried Ed's suggestion and Stan's.
Tried to save a session by quitting (in settings, I had enabled
Show my windows and tabs from last time).

Restarted FF.
It only showed one window with my home page:  google.com

running
ls $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/jd/session*
it displayed only
 /home/jd/.mozilla/firefox/jd/sessionCheckpoints.json

I am starting to suspect some add-on :)

I found this page that says the information is stored in sessionstore
files in the firefox profile directory.  Look at the section starting
with 'the backup'.

http://www.ghacks.net/2013/06/03/how-to-restore-firefox-sessions-if-session-restore-is-not-working-correctly/

If that doesn't work, I would try to change that setting to show home
or show blank, shutdown firefox, and restart firefox, then change it
back to show tabs and windows.  I think that would clear it, and then
return to the default behavior.

Firefox question

[JD]

For a long time I had my FF start up with the setting:
Show my windows and tabs from last time.

Well, for some reason, when I shut down FF (File -> Quit),
and restart, it restarts not from the tabs and windows of
previous Quit, but from a very very old set of tabs and windows.

Hot sure why it is doing this.

Any hints of what file contains that old set of tabs and windows
so I can clear it?

Thanx.

Firefox question

[Timothy Murphy]

I'm running Fedora-22/KDE,
and am not sure if my query is a Fedora, KDE or Firefox query.

I notice that if I am viewing a page in Firefox,
pressing the down-key sometimes takes me down the page,
but sometimes does not.

Is this basically due to a difference in the HTML of the 2 pages?
Or is these some other explanation?
And is there any alternative to the down-key if it does not work?

maybe, or it could be that page has cursor in an entry box.

what happens if you drag page scroll marker to right of page and then
use down key?


 And is there any alternative to the down-key if it does not work?

mouse scroll wheel?

would be nice if you would post url for pages that give problem,
then others can have a look at page.

firefox question

[bruce]

Hi.

Sorry this is off topic, but can't find a soln any other way.

Got FF v.4 running, and I'm trying to figure out how to simply type
something like sdfsdfv in the Url/Address bar, and not have FF
append a .com to it!

I changed the browser.URL to stop FF from using a search engine when
stuff is typed in the browser...

Pointers/Links would be useful.

Thanks

Type about:config in the URL-bar.
Look for browser.fixup.alternate.suffix and change to your preferred domain.
