  1. Since 7 to 10 update, neither Chrome or Firefox saves tabs


    several weeks ago I finally got around to updating windows 7 to windows 10. Since then, I've had a few frustrating issues: The first is that 10 refuses to give me an option to set Firefox as my default browser on my main primary account (which has admin permissions). It is available on the default Admin account, however.
    The other problem is with reopening tabs after I close either Firefox or Chrome. Both browsers are set to their respective "remember where I left off" settings, but every time it gives me a clean slate.
    Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

  2. Windows 10 - Chrome and firefox are not working

    This helped me with Chrome but not with Firefox.

    I opened Control Panel>Troubleshooting>Programs>Advanced, Run as Administrator and then went through the steps. My problem was the Chrome wouldn't start at all, so I went through the steps and it asks what program you're having problems with, I chose Google
    Chrome, it'll go through a short diagnostic and then give you the option of Troubleshoot Program & then it gives a list of problems. I chose the first one: This program worked in earlier versions.... then click next, I clicked Windows 7, then next and it did
    it's little fix. I tested and Chrome opened up just fine.

    No such luck for Firefox, though.

    Explorer, Chrome or Firefox ?

    Not that IE is my main browser (Firefox is), but Adblock Plus is available for IE now. Alternatively you can use custom Tracking Protection lists to perform a similar function. Personally, I find IE very good, but Firefox is slightly better for my use (also it's a habit). In my own personal testing, Chrome used twice memory of Firefox with exactly the same tabs open (due to the way it manages processes). Some people have experienced many issues with Firefox, but I rarely ever do.

    Since 7 to 10 update, neither Chrome or Firefox saves tabs

    Chrome and Firefox do not work in Windows 10 after an update

    Thanks for your response.

    Here is what I faced and what I tried to resolve it.


    • When did the issue start? : A week before I got an update on Windows 10, after the update I am no longer able to use Firefox/Chrome.

    • Were there any changes made before the issue occurred? : I did not make any changes but looked up for suggestions over here and ran Windows Update Troubleshooter. Nothing came in those runs.

    • Have you tried updating your flash player? : No, I did not.

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far? : Answered above. The Troubleshooter did not resolve this issue. I have tried to reinstall both the browsers. Still nothing works.
