All my tabs disappeared. I did not update Firefox or shut down the computer. All I did, which is what I always do, is empty history and close firefox, then put computer to sleep. This has happened before and is very disappointing.

Starting yesterday, whenever I open Firefox, a second page also opens. It is blank and unresponsive to commands. Doesn't do much of anything. The address in the address bar is for a crypto-currency exchange which I've never done business with nor ever visited to my knowledge. No input either on the main screen nor in the address window seems possible. The only thing functional on the page is the red-X in the upper right hand corner. It works fine. But whenever I close Firefox then re-open it, the second crypto-exchange page is there again. It opens concurrently with the regular Firefox browser page. Which functions normally. I don't know what to make of it, and I don't want it. Does anyone have any ideas???

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

IDK what topic this is! When I close tabs but later restart the browser or come out of "sleep" - they are repoened. I'm not talking about the ones I left open. I closed them and they don't stay that way. They insert themselves into their original positions as if I had told them to reopen, and accumulate. I want them gone please :O( This has been going on for years.

I need last link I middle-clicked to open to the right of current tab. If I middle-click links 1,2,3 on page 0, I need tabs to be 0,3,2,1, instead FireFox places 3-rd link after the 2nd and 2nd after the 1st, resulting in 0,1,2,3. I tried changing browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent is "true". The only thing I found is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-tabs-next-to-current/, but it interferes with "Clipboard to Tabs" addon and occasionally seems to not work.

FireFox behavior is also wildly inconsistent. It depends on whether I switched to these tabs and interacted with them. Some interactions cause it to forget they were "related".

I just activated the new tab grouping feature (that has been something I've really wanted from FF so that I can start getting away from Chrome) and I've tried it out and have been happy with it so far. I understand this is in beta still I think and I had some questions:

1. I notice that I'm not able to save and close a tab group, is this expected functionality until tab grouping goes GA?
2. I notice if I have my tab group minimized and have a tab open (that is NOT a part of the group) and I close that tab that the whole browser window will close. Is that also expected?

Really excited for this functionality to continue taking off; I do love a way to organize my many tabs!!

Cheers,

Hi. I use firefox version 133.03 (64 bit) and have issues when on x.com's website. It will randomly open new tabs constantly. I have tried multiple options with settings on firefox and my pc, blocked new windows from opening, and disabled pop-ups. Checked my extensions and tried disabling all and that did not affect anything. I have run scans for viruses, malware, etc., and nothing comes up.

Any advice? It gets pretty annoying having to close the repeating tabs to be able to view the site.

I have Firefox version 133.0 installed on Windows 10. I frequently use the "Open link in new tab" option to open a new webpage from a link in a current webpage. After the latest update of Firefox this no longer works. The option appears in the (new) menu when I right click on a link, but nothing happens when I click on it. No new tab opens. Literally nothing happens. Have also tried "Open link in new window" and that also results in no action. What am I doing wrong ?

I would like to reiterate everything said below. This needs to be a standard feature. This seems like a no-brainer and should be a standard function on any browser. It only shows that Mozilla is getting left behind, even Edge has this feature, what makes it worse...IE had this feature and that is considered ancient tech now. from: kenmendell Now that I've got you and we're on the subject, Firefox seriously, MOST seriously, needs to bring back the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and have a "Save All Tabs" command of its own. There are no third-party apps and Add-Ons that do this very well anymore or at all, the older ones that used to do this no longer work well or at all. Firefox needs them in the browser to stay. It's never been the same without the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and trying to "Save All Tabs" the same way you would save a single page with "Save Page As" is frustratingly impossible to do. Any older Add-On or program that did this no longer works well or at all and hasn't for almost a decade or longer. It needs to be a standard function of any advanced browser. Firefox needs these functions as the normal standard. So, bring this up with your design team as an imperative because my having to migrate to these other lesser capable browsers the way others have doesn't appeal to me when Firefox should be a decade beyond their design and development, especially for functions that shouldn't be difficult hurdles for any modern browser to have.

When Firefox opens it opens 2 additional tabs. I have not changed anything in settins. Syarted happening a few weeks ago. How can i prevent Firefox from opening2 extra tabs?

I have all of my settings appropriately set according to all recommendations and instructions. When my Firefox opened it had a notice that it had updated. However, when it opened ALL of my previously opened tabs were gone. I need them ALL restored since I am a business owner and masters student and rely on them being readily available.
