HAVE PROBLEMS SAVING OPTIONS
I want to "Show My Options and Tabs from Last Time". I go into Options/General and I select that option from the drop down menu.
But there is no place to save the selection. No button. No nothing. Am I missing something? I'm not stupid. Why is this so difficult?
When I exit FF and reload, I lose all my tabs.
This is frustrating.
I am not a happy users and I know many others aren't as well. Forcing us to use Yahoo is terrible. I'd rather pay FF a small fee and have the ability to use Google.
Back to my problem. How do I save my options so I don't lose my tabs when I log off. I attached an image (if it loads---it's having problems) of what I see when I try to change my default options. There is no obvious way to save your selection. And, as said, when I exit FF and reload FF, I lose my tabs.
HELP!
Thx! -S

Most Firefox options are updated as soon as you change them. However, a few things still need a re-start to kick in.
Changes made on the about:preferences page are applied instantly and there is no OK button to confirm changes. If a pop-up opens then you may still see an OK button. Note that you can usually resize such a pop-up window if you place the mouse pointer in the bottom right corner.
In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes".
- do not clear the Browsing History
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
