When I start Firefox, I start with the previous sessions tabs but how do I get the tabs to load straight away without having to click them?

Recently had a HD crash and had to re-install windows and all my browsers.

Previously, Firefox would immediately load all my previous tab but now I have to click on each one to get them to load. I have looked in the options and there is no longer a checkbox to tell Firefox to load these tab immediately. The previous version I was using had this option.

Is it still available and if so, where do I find it to enable it?

Regards Brad

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

I want all my tabs to reload when I start it up and have set Firefox to do so. Going into safe mode changes nothing in they react when I restart Firefox.

The problem is that the tabs are not actually loading. They are placeholders until I click on them. Then and only then do they go and actually load.

The previous version had an option to actually have the tabs load from the net automatically.

The latest version doesn't seem to have that option anymore. I have looked through all the various options available and have not seen it.

Did the tabs load properly in Safe Mode?

Nope, all I got was the placeholders along the top.

The tabs only actually loaded the content when I clicked on them.
