Hello,

this annoying behaviour persists many years and over many versions, so I hope, there exists any solution:


So, I work usualy with some 20 windows of Firefox. I have set "Restore previous session". Always. I worked on Win 7, now I am on Win 10.

And when I restart Firefox, it opens Bookmarks Toolbar in every window, absolutely does not respecting the state before closing Firefox. It is very annoying go through all the windows and manually close Bookmarks Toolbar one by one.

So let us repeat: - before closing Firefox, I have Bookmark Toolbar opened in one or two windows (e.g.) - but after restart of Firefox, toolbar is opened in all the windows

Some apropriate advice, what good to do with this?

Thank you very much for salvation me ;-)

Firefox - Nástroje - Možnosti - Všeobecné: - odstráňte z konca riadku "Domovská stránka" zápis "about:preferences".

Zdravím Ansam,

nemám "Domovská stránka", ale "Homepage and new windows"  ;-) - ale to zde není hlavní problém

K meritu věci:

- nic jako "about:preferences" v řádku u "Homepage and new windows"" nemám (mohu se zeptat, jak by se tam vůbec něco takového mohlo dostat? V životě jsem na konci řádku, kde se vyplňuje domovská stránka, nic jako "about:preferences" neviděl)

- chování, které jsem popsal v úvodním příspěvku, je stejné na mnoha různých počítačích, na různých windows, není tedy odvislé od toho, co si uživatel individuálně změní v nastaveních (Jediná dvě nastavení, která vždy po instalaci měníme, je právě ono zmíněné "Startup > Restore previous session" a dále "Downloads > Always ask you where to save files", z nichž to druhé s problémem (doufám!) nesouvisí)

Předpokládám, že jde o lištu záložek. Je nutné mít při ukončení Firefoxu tu lištu zapnutou? Těch "mnoho různých" počítačů je v nějaké síti nebo tam probíhá nějaká synchronizace? Navíc používáš verzi Firefoxu o 9 verzí starší, než je současná.
