I am running Apple OS High Sierra, 10.13.6 on an older iMac Mid 2011. My Preferences have always been set, or checked, General_Tabs "Open links in Tabs instead of NEW Window."

The result is a Firefox screen full of Single Windows with Single Tabs. Some Windows I may continue to add Tabs to but most of the time I copy the link from the NEW Window and paste the link on the older Window. If I am in a hurry the result will be many many Opened NEW Windows with one or two NEW Tabs. See attachments. This has been going on for at least 6 months now.

Note your checkbox titled "Email me when someone answers the thread" does not work but please email me at "[email removed from public]".

Thanks in advance!

Ctrl + T no longer opens a new tab, but instead brings me to the third tab I have open. If I have less than 3 tabs open, it either does nothing (for one tab) or brings me to the second/third (for two or three tabs). Other keyboard shortcuts are not glitched like this. Why is this happening and how I can fix it?

I have already reinstalled Firefox and restarted my computer, but neither of those have done anything.

Hello, Yesterday I accidentally removed the icon that allowed me to quickly open a new window by the tab on the right. I was looking for how to turn it back on, and unfortunately I could not find such information or option in the settings. It makes it very easy for me to work and search for information. In the attachments I will send a screenshot of what it looks like with me now and what icon I am referring to; I downloaded a picture from the Internet where it is. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hovering over a tab no longer works properly. This used to be a very much appreciated feature. Now it just "blinks" the description of the tab but doesn't leave the text long enough to read it. This feature used to be very helpful when you have a large number of tabs open. Now it's useless.

I find this does not happen when I opened Mozilla and searched for an answer, but if I am in almost any other site, and click a link, it oens in a new window and is so narrow, it is unusable until I stretch i. This is a pain, and never happened ubtil about 1-2 months ago after an update.

Please let m know if anyone has a solution to this irritating challenge.

Hello guys, this would be a little awkward. Since I've run into this problem a limited number of times and I can't reproduce it. But it does appear frequently and is very annoying. I had to ask here for advice and help.

The device I use is a MacBook, running the official version of Firefox, and as far as I know this problem has been there for at least half a year. I'm used to keyboard operations, usually I use Cmd+T to create a new tab, then the cursor is focused on the address bar, and I type the URL. Since I'm typing an address that I visit often, maybe I just type the first few letters, the URL gets autocompleted, and then I just hit enter and the page opens in my new tab. But sometimes I hit enter twice (eg not English input method). At this time, I noticed that in addition to the URL I wanted to open, there's an additional tab. This tab was blank, or the page I just visit.

From my personal understanding, I may have performed the above operations to create a new tab or clone a tab at the same time. But I don't think my operations will cause these to happen concurrently.

Below are the extensions that I have installed, in my impression I don't get this bug in Windows, but I don't use Windows a lot. In addition, my MacBook keys may be sticky, or it may be a system problem.

Hello, sadly I have the problem since a few days that firefox opens a new tab with the same error every time I google something or click on a new page/subpage etc. The URL on the error page is all the time "https://0.0.0.1/" mentention of course a page loading error. I don't know why firefox keeps oppening new tabs with this URL. I allrady tried to use the clearing function and even reinstalled the software, nothing worked. Maybe somebody can help me solving this problem, it is very annoying to have multiple new error-tabs per minute in a normal work flow. Thanks and best regards, Thomas

My tabs do not open correctly. They are squeezing in between the < and > and I have to try to find it? There is a big bracket showing between those two < > arrows.

I have no idea what happened but before the tabs started acting crazy, when I opened FireFox it was very, very small print that I had to resize with the 'Control, mouse up' move.

Same as question 1337885, which was marked "solved", despite never being solved. (Solved for a few months is not solved!)

Does every user seriously have to go through the rigmarole of manually editing a CSS file in order to have a usable UI? (as per https://ourtechroom.com/tech/get-back-old-tab-design-firefox/, for example)

yesterday I updated firexfox to its latest version.

after that, the tabs aren't showing properly anymore.

as I use my computer for work and leisure I usually keep a few separate tabs open, and up until yesterday, when I clicked, or hovered, over the firexfox icon in the taskbar, it would show me a preview of the individual tabs I had open, then to see the windows open in each tab I needed to click on the relevant tab.

since the update yesterday though, when I click, or hover, over the firexfox icon, insted of the tabs, it shows me ALL the window open, in what is now a chaotic and disorganised mess. the tabs are still separate in reality, if I minimase a tab, I can see the other tab open on the screen, but I now don't have access to them anymore as I should normally by the firefox icon, as it only show ALL the window open regardless of tab.

this is an incredibly disturbing problem, expecially when I have to use firefox for my studies and I have serveral research papers and resources open at once, and divived in tabs for ease of navigation.

while I still can access to the individual tabs through 'alt+tab' and scrolling with three fingers on the mousepad, this is still a massive issue that only arised with the update done yesterday.

is there any way to fix this?

thank you kindly in advance.

I'm a realtor and I use firefox as my browser bc I have all apple products and an esign portal that I use doesn't work with explorer. Two days ago firefox stopped allowing me to open my MLS browser Navicamls.net. I can open it on internet explorer or any other computer that is not a mac, but I can no longer open it using firefox.

The website https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dance/12838/#cribs displays an image, which had a typo [Triangles used to be Traingles]

I am using Firefox 119.0.1 under Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 OS build 19045.3693

I had the page open in Firefox before the owner corrected the typo.

Immediately after the correction was online, all other browsers displayed the corrected version. But even now, hours later, after many resets by "Reload Tab", the Firefox tab still displays the typo-version.

I consider this to be a malfunction. "Reload tab" should bypass all caches, and reload the whole page directly from its server. - Is this a known bug? - If "Reload Tab" does not go to the source bypassing all caches, what doe it do? - Is there a workaround?

I'm referring to the reply from Paul here that tried to sell us the useless floating tabs "feature". Now, several years later, there's no sign of any of this, and we still have to deal with the downsides of floating tabs.

before the update if i opened a new tab the it opened after my active tabs, now its reserved and its open before them (between my pinned and not pinned tabs) any solution to reserve this change?

New Firefox is making me angry everytime I use it. New tabs are doing what they want, they never open near the site that i'm watching. Sometimes they open in the middle of other tabs, sometimes at the end. That is so problematic and frustrating that i would download an opera if i can't change it. I use about 90 tabs and that's the way I'm using Internet, I won't change it. I have searched in settings but there is nothing. Old mozilla haven't done this. Can someone help me?
