FWIW mine doesn't, but that's because I've told it not to. I
prefer to lose all the tabs when I close the window.

Nor does mine, for the same reason. It's a Firefox setting and whether
or not to re-open tabs is your choice.

ter and easier to just use File->Exit to
shut Firefox down. Either way, you should achieve the same result.

It is easier to click the X in the upper right corner.

That is what I have done on every version of Firefox that I have used
since I believe version 2. I am currently using Firefox 27.0.1 on
Windows 8.1, and plan to up grade to the next version which will be
released in the next few hours.

I am also finding that TB goes into 'Not Responding' mode at times when
I am wanting to flit between different news groups.

If I close down TB when I was last reading emails, TB starts up and
remembers what it was doing last time and loads my emails.

If the last time was reading news group messages, when TB is restarted
as it seems to remember what it was doing last time, it then goes into
Not Responding mode for a while.

My system is Win7 Pro, 16Gb ram, i5-3450 @ 3.10MHz cpu, and every other
program I choose to open runs fine with no lockups, so it is just TB
that is locking up.

A poster here, who was seeing hangs while composing, fixed it by
reducing the size of the Sent and Draft.

When I checked Thunderbird with Process Explorer, it had 32 threads
running, but that doesn't say how the threads are used.

I was trying to find a setting, where articles no longer on a USENET
server, would be removed from the .msf and .mdat files, but I can't find
such a thing. Unless it's a third party plugin. Removing the files
completely, makes too much of a mess (all articles Unread).

Not exactly. He deleted messages in Draft and split the Sent folder. Not
sure whether he made subfolders under Sent or new folders under the
account.

The point of the article was that it's the INBOX that has to be kept
(relatively) small.

I make sure that the Inbox, Trash, Sent and Draft never have *any*
messages for very long and have never had a problem with freezing. I
created My Inbox and My Sent folders for storage. I don't have a junk
folder as I've configured it to send junk into the trash directly. I
also don't use TB for UseNet. I use Seamonkey for that.

Nothing in my Inbox, Trash, Sent and Draft and it doesn't help. Although
I can tell you the problem isn't there with v1.5.0.8. And it is
definitely there in v12, v14, and v24. So somewhere before v12 the
problem first started is my guess.

I've used TB since when it was called Netscape Mail and I have never had
the problems you're having.

It may indeed be a Tab Mix Plus setting, but it's also a standard
Firefox setting. The capability has been there (in Firefox) for as
long as I can remember.

Right: Options | General | Startup | When Firefox starts, show my
windows and tabs from last time.

I don't have Tab Mix Plus.

Of course you don't! Yet I can find the problem on your
computer in 30 seconds. :)

Problems? Hardly, I have machines from '81 that still work like new.
Although there are great beta testers and then there are blind
beta testers. ;-)

It's a must for me.

I'll check it out. I've been using "Duplicate This Tab" for years to
add more tab manipulation features, and I consider that to be a Must.
Unfortunately it's no longer being developed, though it still works
just fine.

I see someone calling "Tab Mix Plus" "bloatware", so I'll consider that
when I compare it to "Duplicate This Tab."

What do you like about it? Which of its features are the most
valuable to you?

Recovery after a restart - choice of earlier saved configs if the
last one is faulty;
List of (user defined number) previously visited sites easy to pull
up;
Tremendous configuration possibilities (tweaking) of tab settings
and control over behaviour.

A lot of this can be set up in Firefox itself, but this little
add-on makes it so much more convenient.
