Recently Closed tabs not working

Post by q12x »

I recently re-installed windows and then the latest Firefox 47.0
When i go to main menu -History -Recently Closed tabs - and click on any address from list, it is NOT opening the tab.

Are you using Private Browsing?
(Thought I would think it should still work in the current session.)

Any change if you restart in Safe Mode?

Hi,
Well, if Firefox functions O.K. in Safe Mode, then it's either an extension or theme that is at fault.

Run Firefox in normal mode & disable them all. Re-start Firefox.
Enable each in turn, or by ½'s, re-starting Firefox each time, till the faulty extension is found.
Either update or un-install it.

See this incomplete list,
> http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions

When in Safe Mode...
* The status of plug-ins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.
* All extensions are disabled.
* The default theme is used, without a persona.
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
* The JIT/Javascript compiler is disabled.
* The default toolbar layout is used.
* Hardware acceleration is disabled.
