Firefox Community Forum

Hello all. I am looking for a way to prevent the width of tabs from resizing when either adding or subtracting tabs from the tab bar. The only reference I can find to this issue is a 2014 post found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989387. The suggestions therein do not apply to the current FF version. Among other things, the suggestion to go to the setting "browser.tabs.animate" does not seem to apply to the current FF version since I can not find such a setting. Like the OP in the 2014 post, the auto tab resizing drives me nuts! (Maybe he/she and I are the only people in the whole FF world community who are bothered by this?!) I would much prefer the tab width to stay the same and use the arrows on each side of the tab bar to access tabs that do not fit across the screen when many tabs are open. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using FF 128.0 with Win 10 22H2 build 19045.4651. Thanks for any suggestions. John H

I have an issue with firefox.If I click the tab ,it should move to next field.when I click up /down arrow in drop down field ,it is moving to next field without clicking the tab itself..it's happening only in Firefox ,If I try in other browsers like chrome ,IE it works.

Mozilla tab keeps crashing (especially at YouTube) I was wondering if someone can help me find out why!

like tell me how to show the log or something to identify what is doing the crash.

Thank you in advance!

This is a new problem, I've only had on this new device, previously when closing tabs, they wouldn't move till the mouse had been moved away.

Now, they move in the fraction of a second before the tab closes, which frequently means a different tab is now under the mouse and then that tab that I didn't want to close, closes.

I'm not sure what the problem was since I imported my profile from my previous device. Maybe there's something in the config that I can change to fix this?

Thanks!

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in the settings, And have been using firefox in that manner for years, Like I would close the browser, And would beable to come back to what I was working on. But after an update, I came back to all my tabs gone, And I opened multiple tabs and closed, And opened the browser again and there were no more tabs. I followed the instructions in a earlier post of the same problem but problem persists. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429964 Please help I lose productivity without this feature. Thank you, Paul

The pdf gets overwritten by the new text when it is scrolled down or up and the whole pdf becomes messy. I have attached an image showing the same. The terminal gets into the background of the pdf and any other application that is opened on the screen.

I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and I find the following behavior mildley annoying, how can I change it?

I have a wide screen and usually use only half of it for one window. If I have Firefox on the left with a few tabs open and want to bring one of them to the right, I drag the tab to the right edge of my screen and it docks in to the right half of the screen.

So far so good - behavior is the same as for Chrome. Just that the new Firefox window on the right now is the last window in the Windows windows hierarchy (which shows if you press Alt + Tab). Meaning it will open behind all windows that are already opened and I have to bring it to the front by pressing Alt + Tab and clicking on the last window.

That is annoying and - it seems to me - a very unlogical thing to do. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? How can I switch that behavior such that the window opens on top of all others (as expected and as Chrome does).

Thanks.

I have a problem with opening multiple tabs and displaying graphics on pages. I have to verify about 2000 pages and I open 10-20 each time. unfortunately, graphics are not displayed on them - written content and formatting are loaded, but without graphics. When I open pages one at a time, this problem does not occur. When I open 5 pages at once, at least one of them does not have any graphics loaded, the rest have them. How to make graphics load like in Chrome - on all open tabs en masse?

This has been happening for a while now, it’s been happening multiple times a day and at random times. I can’t switch to other tabs or if I want to switch to a tab that’s like 5 tabs away, it will just group the tabs together. I can’t use the X button either to exit these tabs. While this happens my Mac acts weird and highlights random things as well. If I want to open a link it will open a whole new window for that tab although I turned that feature off in preferences. The only way I can fix this temporarily is to shut my Mac down and then get back in.

Hello, I used to have Microsoft Teams as a pinned tab (in fact I think it was my first pinned tab), which I no longer need as I now have the Teams app on my computer. I have tried unpinning the Teams tab but whenever I close & reopen Firefox, it reappears - it doesn't show up initially, but will pop up 5-10 seconds after Firefox starts (my other pinned tabs show up straight away) - so I have to close it each time. Not a big issue I know but kinda annoying - any suggestions/solutions?

Is there a functionality to view Tabs Side-by-Side, or Vertical yet? Or is there a plan for it; similar to the recent version of Edge Chromium? I have read several questions; and their work-around solutions of using a side bar or sing two windows and arranging them side-by-side. Neither functionality offers synchronized scrolling. I used Tile Tabs or We Tabs add-on in the past which was great.

Pinned tabs disappear from main browser window AFTER using "New private window" browser to test a different site issue. This has happened a few times for me. It is very cumbersome and should not be necessary to do a problem search and see all the steps needed to follow using the sessionstore.jsonlz4 process. Why can't Firefox have simple "restore PINNED tabs" history? I am going to plan on saving each link for each pinned tab in a document of my own simply because it is EXTREMELY annoying and TIME CONSUMING to try to get each of them back. Why does the "New Private Window" use cause this issue in the main browser window?
