How do I prevent multiple tabs from loading every time I access Firefox? These are open tabs, but I do not want them to open simultaneously every time I want to open a new tab. Then I have to minimize each one in order to access other applications on my desktop. Please advise.

Hi,

Newer versions of Firefox have that option (Don't load tabs until selected). If it is possible to update you can download the latest version here.

Tools > Options -> General - Startup = select what you want Firefox to do on startup there

Blank Page or Homepage (as long as those pages aren't all your Homepages) are alternatives to windows and tabs from last time

Or as Vivek.Wilfred mentioned, upgrade to Firefox 8.0.1 where you have abother option - Don't load tabs until selected.
