Opening tabs from last time opens home pages until I load them, which opens the correct tab

When I open Firefox, and I have multiple tabs opened from last time, and also have "do not load tabs until selected" checked, my home pages load in the place of 'unloaded' tabs from last time, but, when I click them, they load the appropriate tab that I had open last time.

It's a strange glitch that happens every single time, and I request a SOLUTION, not an alternate setting or workaround. I don't want to load up 10+ tabs (having "do not load tabs until selected" unchecked) every time I open Firefox, and my 4 extra homepage tabs have heavy flash material, so I'd not want them loading on startup either.

Thanks.

When the do not load tabs until selected is active; when Firefox starts, it will open all the windows it should. But if that option is on, the windows / tabs will not be loaded until that window / tab is selected. This helps prevent bottle-necking your computers web feed.

Try to "Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

Also make sure that you do not use "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear the the Cache (Firefox will disable the disk cache in this case, see about:cache)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
