FF4 - no "Show windows & tabs from last time", no change to home page, always default zoom from previous tab
As I turned from 3.6.16 to 4.0, I always have following problems that I ask for help and appropriate solutions:
- In Tools>Options>General I can not select Show windows & tabs from last time as it is gray lettered and blocked. It gives me options only for "Show my Home Page" and Show Blank Page. On every restart of FF4 it opens me particular home page even if I changed it in previous session to some other Page or Blank Page.
Also, I can not select Restore previous session from History. It is gray lettered and blocked as well. I have 8 very important pages that I need every time I browse on the internet not wanting to open each and every from the start.
- Always when I open another page in a new tab within one particular web site unlike 3.6.16, FF4 shows me that page in default ie. small zoom even though I made it bigger in previous tab in that same web site.
Being distant some 3 m from my 32" flat display all the letters are too small to read and it's too boring to enlarge them every time I open new tab.
I have read all offered solutions in Help and Forum and tried them all even in about:config - everything the same.
Hoping u could help me, grateful in advance!!!

That happens if you run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode.
- In Private Browsing mode some menu items and features are disabled and show as grayed choices.
- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
Thank you, cor-el! I appreciate it! It works and I'm enjoying FF4!
