Browser Issues: List of Solutions

What I find that my browsers are well customized to cater my needs and help me to do my work in a organized way. 


I am here sharing my top tricks/customerization with different browsers. 

And one thing, I do not use Chrome on desktop. 

Firefox

  • Firefox does support 'session restore'

Tools (≣)  → General  → Startup  → Check ⊡ Restore previous session 

  • There is another irritating thing happens to me while browsing on Firefox. I have one tab opened, and as I close it, the Firefox gets shut down instead of 'closing the tab & open a new tab'. Simple solution is to click on Home button instead of closing the tab. 

But the best solution is to go to about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing Firefox.

browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab = false 


Opera 

Bring back ''Tab Menu' from 'Search Tabs'

This solution is no more working with further update. 


Recently Closed Tab - shortcut is Ctrl+Shft + T

These days 'Search Tabs' has been revised, you can directly see the list of closed Tabs by clicking on it.

Official Opera Portable - How to Get Best of it

From my last Win7 reinstallation, I learnt a lesson hard regarding backup of browser's settings. Opera v12 had no issues, and I had a portable version in other drive. So with standardalone installation of Opera was there, and I copied all files from  C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable but when I paste this on this folder after reinstall, I found no data restored - including settings, bookmarks, extensions, log in data etc. 

So I planned for a portable installation of Opera - thankfully Opera now offers official portable version at https://www.opera.com/computer/portable which work for Win7 + Windows versions. Opera_PortableSetup.exe (approx 2MB or less) is the file I downloaded.
