Later I'll get to the issue that prompted this note but for the nonce: I've used the free version of cCleaner since before it was ccleaner and I personally see little reason to upgrade. You almost got me with the latest addition but that has some issues. Settings -> "Run CCleaner when windows starts" is unchecked but it always seems to start with Windows anyway. That's okay, I can terminate it ... Options -> Smart Cleaning: "Tell me when there are junk files to clean" is unchecked but you still give notifications when ccleaner can clean more than a GB (or so it seems.) Advanced -> "close program after cleaning" is unchecked but clcleaner still resides in my task bar, close program to me means terminate the program and any instances of it. Tools -> "software updater" There's no indication that this is a pro feature until you click on "Update all" It seems to work now ("no Thanks" twice) but the first time I tried it after an install clicking anything simply produced a "beep" (non-problem since I can't replicate it)

Andavari, normally I just run it after I've looked at some program(s), decided they're not what I wanted and then do some housecleaning. I don't use monitoring, the only 3rd party monitoring I have on my system is my anti-virus; there are just too many that claim to do such miraculous things that I gave up looking at them. Not to say that some of them aren't good, just that *I* don't feel I benefit enough from them to have them online all the time. The major part of the reason I'm looking at CCleaner is that I've never, that I recall, lost tabs during normal use, it always occurs after having used ccleaner. I'll let this hang until I lose them and see if I can put together a recreatable scenario.

Nope, they're both empty (er, both = include and exclude) Actually, no I'm not sure. That's what makes this so bloody irritating! (you missed 'Options' ) Restore Windows and tabs from last time - oh, definitely! I normally have 3 - 4 tab groups available; 3 pinned tabs and 4 - 8 tabs (depending on the group) While I do have several WebDev addons loaded this is sporadic enough that I don't think it's any of them. This seems to occur after running CCleaner but not every time. And I can't find a consistent anything to 'peg' it to! While I just: Booted Computer Loaded Firefox (tabs in place) Ran ccleaner (got rid of the old InsiderPreview, etc) closed Firefox loaded firefox - all copasetic closed firefox ran ccleaner - didn't find much opened Firefox - all fine closed firefox ran ccleaner - registery (and of course after an insiderPreview update last night, it found a lot, mostly video card stuff and Framework V1) reran ccleaner registry - registry and found a few more Framework Vi entries. loaded Firefox and everything is fine. I have no tab groups, they went away a while back and I haven't done anything to need them - I will create a tab group later today when I do some genealogy - probably. If I've done something wrong there, give me some ideas. This is what makes this exercise so blasted frustrating. They only seem to disappear after I've used ccleaner - but not all the time. I'm game for any comments / suggestions since it's obviously something that I cannot replicate consistently - but I wish that whatever it is (and I think it's ccleaner) would leave my tabs / tabgroups alone

My apologies again for the duplication of a topic but I didn't see the other post until after I'd started this. Andavari, maybe I'm missing something here, I can do as you suggest, but everything under applications -> firefox *is* unchecked. Why would checking one and testing make a difference? I'll go get the new version now, I normally stay within a version or two of current and since this has been an ongoing problem for me I didn't think updating would be *that* critical. If I come across as being argumentative, I'm not, it's just that I'm trying to understand your logic.

excuse me, I've duplicated this thread with a new post on the topic. When I tell IPBoard to show me all previous posts in my profile it shows none ... not a great day for this old fart!

Since I don't see anything else relating to this I apparently have something set wrong. Every time I run ccleaner, as the title says, I lose my current tabs and tab groups. I have several projects on the stove, so shove the inactive ones to the back burner (move them to a different tab group) Currently running: Firefox 43.0.4 ccleaner 5.12.5431 ccleaner applications tab has EVERYTHING for Firefox UNchecked. So why do I keep losing tabs and groups???

Well, my math was tired when I posted that "Bump" it was actually 29 hours later. Thanks for the replies but I'm somewhat at a loss now. Just ran ccleaner 4.08.4428 deleted a couple of visual express programs shut down firefox ran cleaner everything's okay shut down firefox ran the registry cleaner everything's right I Had pretty pictures to go along with this but since there's not a problem there's no sense in posting them, Honestly, I'm not sure if the problem was fixed in the upgrade or .... ??? Winapp2.ini: nothing extra, basic free ccleaner where I select a few things to leave alone. Looks like I'm going to have to play a bit better attention to what I've been doing and see what is that has caused them to go away before and see if continues. I'm confused!

one bump 18 hours later, anyone??

This is a very old frustration. I use tab groups and normally have several tabs open. Run ccleaner each time I delete a program and with everything UNchecked from Applications / Firefox it seems as if everything related to tabs has disappeared the next time I start Firefox. Any suggestions on how to keep them?
