Hi First: all tabs are restored on startup (tab mix plus) The problem: if there was a pinned tab when closing > if I start firefox > it start for a second and then closes (no crash, just closes) I tried it out, the problem is pinned tab (doesn't matter what site)

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

FirefoxSafeMode

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode" Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Hope this helps!

This actually helped a lot. There was so problem in safe mode. Managed to find the problem: Tab Mix Plus. No problemis if I check 'use firefox built in session restore' in TMP options. But has anyone got ideas why is TMP causing problems?

Hi,

I'm not sure, but you can ask the Tab Mix Plus author and community here: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/

Hope this helps!

P.S. If the problem is solved please mark my answer as the solution as it means my volunteer colleagues don't keep looking at this question!
