    FF3.0.6 tools/options/main/startup - show my windows and tabs from last time

    I've got this checked, but it's suddenly stopped working. When I start up I get a single window w/ no tabs. Wastes a lot of time.
    What's the fix?

    Fair enough (what addon?)

    Have you tried any intermediate versions or is 3.0.6 the last version your addon does work with?

    OK, Chas can I suggest you disable add-ons and see if multiple tab starts normally?

    Let us know what happens. By the way have you made any changes to your system recently (hardware and/or software)?

    Here's a good one Wildfire.
    I thought I'd reinstall FF just to see.
    Well, it's working fine now - Go figure!
    Something must have corrupted it, but I'll probably never know what.

    I don't understand this add-on. It seems to be a Theme. My default is 3.0.14, and it carries the Theme. No reason to stick to an old version, when the most recent one works.
    The 3.0.x series will continue to be supported till early next year. Did the reinstall still show in Help|about Mozilla Firefox, that it is v.3.0.6?

    Westside, it is a theme that so far is not supported by the last two FF versions.
    Yes, I'm on 3.0.6 as I went to a link for older versions and saved the install file to my desktop in case something like this happened.

    Well, somehow I installed the theme in my 3.0.14, which is the most recent update version after 3.0.6. It was an ok theme, but I reverted to my previous theme, but it works.

    Strange, it didn't work when I tried that version.
    Do you know if the new version is faster like Mozilla claims?

    It depends on where the speed is looked for. Any Firefox loads at pitiful speed. But, it is the nature of the beast. But new pages are rendered quite rapidly. I don't keep a stopwatch, though.

    You were right dude.
    I had to look around to find the version of Bible Fox that worked, but it does.
    Previously I let FF look for an update, which it couldn't find.
    Thx! :)

    I am glad that it worked. I, actually, am using Bible Fox in my 3.0.14.

    The phone? Anyway, I tried the skin, and I thought it ok. Never said that I did not like it. The Theme is installed, and, as long as installed I can go back and forth from one theme to another. I like the color, and some of the details.
    Those fishes are rather pale, though.
