Firefox question

[Mudcat]

I recently switched over to (what I assume is) the newest version of Firefox. I started getting alerts that it is time to update so I did as I have many times over the years.

It's not saving my tabs though when I shut down at night. Is there a way to make that happen?

Glad you made this thread.

When I updated Firefox on my pc it shut me out of a website (SBROdds I know lol)

How do I get it to allow me access again?

Shut you out? You prolly just need to log in again.

Muddy, click on the orange Firefox menu button thingie, mouse over Options, then click on Options on the pop-up menu. Change the "When Firefox Starts" option to "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

It won't let me access the site to log in again, Matty.

Matty.

Doesn't make sense. What happens exactly? You get a blank page? Hit CTRL + F5 (PC) or CMD + R (stupid Macs)

I wasn't sure what you meant by the button thingy but in hunting around for it, I think I found a solution to my problem. After starting up Firefox, under History there is an option to restore previous session (and a couple other options about recently closed tabs/windows). That oughta do it.

Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you didn't update to Firefox 4. Which is a good thing if you ask me. I hate this new version, it's slow and buggy.

I am in SBROdds just fine by the way. Same as always. I noticed no changes with that.

It says it is Firefox 4.0.1

There is one other thing I am not liking but let me see if I can figure out how to fix it. I need to get more self-sufficient with these things. That last issue, I should have been able to figure out on my own in 3 seconds.

Yea i dont like it much.

I guess the orange menu button thingie is a Windows 7 exclusive or some shit.

Anyway I switched over to Google Chrome for the time being. Firefox 4.0.1 is doo doo.

This is the message I get:

The connection has timed out







The server at sbrodds.com is taking too long to respond.





The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Hitting CTRL F5 does nothing

Well, that's weird. Prolly has nothing to do with the browser though.

My roboform 6 is a no go in FF4 so I went back to version 3.610

Firefox 57 is good, switched to it with Nightly beta

Lots of under the hood development, Chrome like smoothness

I switched back to firefox from Chrome too.

It's the only browser you can add ublock origin on android

I do not remember how or why Firefox 4 sucked, but I suspect it is the reason I still only use FF when Chrome breaks something.
