firefox
I've started using Tab Candy recently, which has been in Firefox since version 4 apparently. One thing I would like to be able to do is reload all tabs in one such group I created, but not the others.
I can't find an option for this and the add-on site isn't returning any results either.
Does anyone know a setting or add-on that can do this?
Go to about:config and set the preference extensions.firebug.allPagesActivation to none
According to the Mozilla Support Forum:
Firefox 41 no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about:config because it was constantly attacked by malware. Starting in Firefox 41, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.
There are several questions about this on Mozilla's forum and many solutions. I'll post several of the solutions here.
If you want to use your home page on the new tab: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/ [This was my situation. I loaded this one and it worked.]
If you want to set a different page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/ [More flexibility than the previous add-on. Haven't tested it myself.]
Please only use one of these methods at a time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctionality.
If you use the New Tab Override add-on (third bullet, above), you need to set it up.
(the following instructions apply only to that add-on):
After installing this extension, you need to use its Options page to set the desired new tab page (instead of using about:config).
Open the Add-ons page using either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Cmd+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- Or from the menu: Tools | Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find New Tab Override and click its Options button.
Depending on the height of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the desired address into the form.
For example:
- Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab
- Blank tab => about:blank
- Built-in Firefox home page => about:home
- Any other page => full URL to the page
Then tab or click away from that form field and you can test using Ctrl+t.

You could always use the default tab restoring option that Firefox implements. Press Alt to show the menu and then History -> Recently closed tabs -> Select the tabs you want to restore.
This will reopen the tabs in the original tab group in which they were.
