<p>When I set the "When TenFourFox starts" pref on the General
prefs tab to "Show my windows and tabs from last time," I can't set
new windows to open blank. The only choices are to enter a URL to
serve as home page or to accept the default, which is the
TenFourFox Start Page. I don't want to waste the time and bandwidth
to load an arbitrary page every time I want to open a new
window.</p>
<p>New windows open blank with the "When TenFourFox starts" pref
set to "Show a blank page." However, that fails to achieve the
objective of restoring a previous session when I quit and relaunch
TenFourFox.</p>
<p>I've looked through the About:config setup for possible options
and found none. The browser.newtabpage.enabled and
browser.newtab.url settings appear not to have any effect on new
windows.</p>
<p>This should be really simple. Why is this objective not
supported?</p></div>nctag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/385442452015-11-24T18:41:00Z2015-11-24T18:41:10ZCan't open new window as blank page with "When TenFourFox starts" pref set to restore previous session<div><p>It's not supported because Mozilla doesn't support it. Regular
Firefox is the same way. This isn't something we'd likely change on
our own.</p>
<p>That said, two notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The TenFourFox new tab page is internal to the browser.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If you enter the "magic" URL about:blank as your home page, it
should do what you want.</p>
</li>
</ul></div>Cameron Kaisertag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/385442452015-11-24T18:50:25Z2015-11-24T18:50:26ZCan't open new window as blank page with "When TenFourFox starts" pref set to restore previous session<div><p>ISTR that Firefox once supported this. I really don't see these
two scenarios as the converses of one another.</p>
<p>I'll try your suggestion. Alternatively, I suppose I could reset
the "When TenFourFox starts" pref on the General prefs tab to "Show
a blank page" and force quit the browser every time I want to shut
it down…</p></div>nc
