Hi. Since updating to Firefox 20, I've noticed that the "Tabs" are right along the very top of the screen now, which I can't access becasue I use Dell Desktop to have my shortcuts in, which drops down in front of them. It used to be fine when it was just a little lower, but at the same time I don't want the "Menu Bar" on as it pushes them TOO low for my smaller sized screen. How can I get the back to the position they where, right below the organge "Firefox" button as apposed to the side of it without resorting to disabling Dell Desktop?

I set up the group tabs and they worked, but then I left the group to a site not in the groups. When I clicked on the group tabs icon to get back to the group tabs, the group windows were there, but empty except the site that I was currently on was in showing on top (in) one of the groups. I find no clear instructions on how to save these group tabs and their content, or reopen them in another session. Please explain how to save these group tabs and then reopen them. If you are going to post an answer instead of sending me an email, I'll never find it - please send me an email answer.

Tab background color changes when saving or downloading (Ubuntu) - bug ?

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on Linux Ubuntu. When I'm opening and using Firefox, the active tab background is light gray, and the other tabs are black (with white/gray text). But as soon as I have downloaded a file (saving an image for example, or a pdf), the tabs change color: the non active tabs turn gray instead of black, and the tab text is almost unreadable (gray on gray).

I have disabled ALL extensions (including the Ubuntu/Unity extensions) and restarted Firefox, and get the same result. See screenshot with before/after downloading: http://imagesup.net/?di=113687926169

On the other hand, when I start Firefox in safe mode, all is well, the tabs don't change color when downloading or saving a file.

What to do? Could this be a bug ?

Simply I want the option to control how many tiles are there. Nine is ok, but 16, 25, and maybe 36 would be great for options. With the choice of smaller thumbnails or a scrolling screen. Personally I'd like a 16 (4 by 4) That i could scroll down if I wanted to add more rows. Also the auto populate could get you in trouble with naughty pop-ups. Being able to turn off auto-populate would be nice as well. If that is already an option I haven't found it yet.

First, this delta search site kept opening every time I opened a new tab. So I got rid of that, but then every time I opened a new tab, the page was blank. I followed the about:config directions which would help me get the "pinned tabs" page back, but every time I closed FF and reopened, the same issue would reoccur. Now, every time I open a new tab, it goes to my homepage. I Just want to know how to get the pinned tabs back permanently.

I've noticed my open tabs do not sync automatically like it does when I move from desktop to my Android device. Example scenario to explain this better:

I'm on my desktop Firefox with several open tabs. Then I pick up my Android device (4.2 Jelly Bean) and open Firefox Android, and I go to open new tab and chose the "Sync" menu, unfortunately the tabs it shows from my desktop device are not up to date at all.

In fact the only way I've found to sync up these tabs is to go on my Android device under Sync -> Firefox Sync -> Menu Button -> Sync Now. Then my tabs update perfect, but shouldn't this just happen automatically, or at least from a "Sync Now" button right in Firefox Android? Am I completely missing something obvious?

Thanks!!
