firefox help

[jasoncook]

Hi All having swapped browsers to get round the missing typing IE10 heliaddicts problem . My only problem with firefox is the tabs ?? I have set them up and all looks good but when i close the browsing session and open it again i get the tabs from where i was looking last not where i saved them . In IE10 you set them and that's the page you get every time you open the browser and that's what I want to happen ?? I have googled the firefox mine field and ended getting more confused !! Cheers Jason

Open the tabs you want , then -Tools/Options/General 'Use current'

Hi Tried that and it still changes to the last page i viewed changed options to show home page at start also. This is the latest version that has the options not under tools,I have to press f10 to get tools . If I set it at for sale page then went to new posts close firefox open again and its still on new posts ??

On that page, make sure you have 'When Firefox Starts' set to 'Home Page'

Just tested and works fine here on V26.

Closed a tab, shut down and the tab was back when I restarted.

Changed to different page on RCHA tab, shut down and was back to new posts when I opened again ...

Hi, If i set a page as the home page that stays the same as the original but the pages in the tabs stay as i last used them .

[Mark_T]

You don't just set one page as the home page though.

Open all the tabs as you want them then hit 'Use Current Pages' and you should see that all of the them are listed in the 'Home Page' field.

[jasoncook]

I think that's the problem its not listing them all in the home page box when i click on set as home page .

[Mark_T]

The option should be labeled 'Use current pages'

I've got Version 26 .. If I open a set of tabs then I can go to options:general and the drop down selection box option of 'show my windows and tabs from last time'

Not quite what he is after.

He wats the pages to open to the position he saved originally, not where they were left last time he ended his session.

Oops....

There is a facility for setting a selection of bookmarks in their own folder and using that folder as one's home page. Will that do? Opens that folder as a set of tabes

Hi that sounds like what I want , but need the pages to update to the latest versions when they load ,just like explorer does ??

Doesn't it? I'm too lazy to test that and can't be ar$ed with all that setting stuff up for me.. but if it's reading it off the bookmarks then i ought to be a fresh load.
