After restarting the browser, open tabs are not saved even though this option is enabled in the settings. Could you fix this? I’d also like videos to automatically switch to picture-in-picture mode when changing to another tab, without having to press a button for it.

The mute tabs icon is just a waste of space as soon as you get a few tabs loaded and the tabs shrink. I have multiple tabs showing at the moment where I have clicked on the icon and unmuted them when just trying to select them. It does not help that the icons have been placed in almost the exact centre of the tab, at least with the 19 I have showing in a mix of muted/unmuted. Only 7 of these tabs are still muted, although I did deliberately unmute one to check the action.

I would prefer it if these icons are not showing as they are a waste of space and my time. If you hit the icon the tab is not brought to the front as intended so you have to click on them again. I just want the tabs to work like real tabs.

Is there any way to remove the feature altogether? I have after a lot of frustration just reduced the sound for Firefox in the Windows Volume Mixer as I did before tab muting was thought of. I almost never use sound in Firefox anyway.

Is there possibility to use a hotkey combination for adding a certain tab into a group lest One has to use called with mouse context menu for every wanted tab? And why not add such possibility if there isn't such possibility?

Good morning,

I have been experiencing many issue in reopening closed tabs from the history menu after closing firefox. I can click it, but nothing happens. It ends up with me reopening sometimes 30+ tabs manually, which so inconvenient.

Any lead?

Thanks in advance

just recently firefox has been adding pop-up summaries to each address bar open tab .... the summary is a tiny 5 or 6 word pop-up describing what that website is supposed to be doing and the pop-up appears instantly whenever the cursor contacts that tab..........how can i turn that unwanted pop-up feature OFF

I have WhatsApp Web pinned as a tab in Firefox, and other than that I also have a home page. Normally when I launched Firefox, only one window would open and it would have both the pinned whatsapp tab and the homepage in another tab.

Since today, now when I launch Firefox it opens two separate windows. One window only contains the pinned WhatsApp Web tab, and the other window contains the home page.

How can I make it so that when I launch Firefox only one window opens that contains both tabs? Please don't tell me this option has been inadvertently removed.... Thanks.

I have Firefox set to reopen the previous session whenever the browser is launched. I normally have multiple windows open; I have different tabs in different windows so as to organize them and make it easier to access a particular tab / type of content. I can mouseover on the toolbar and select a tab via preview.

Until recently, whenever Firefox relaunched my previous session, it kept the arrangement of the windows intact (from right to left in the preview). After a recent update, I assume, Firefox is now no keeps them in the same arrangement; aside from my first window, all the others now randomly (or so it seems to me) rearrange themselves whenever the browser launches.

I can reorder them by selectively closing and reopening windows, but it's getting tedious, and the arrangement only lasts for the current session. Once I shut down and restart my computer the windows are, once again, rearranged to no apparent rhyme or reason.

This is getting really frustrating.

First, why does the "recently closed tabs" doesn't work if you close an entire firefox window?

second, why isn't there a place to search through your tab groups?

I just accidentally closed a firefox window with a lot of tabs, including unnamed tab groups.

This is a pain for all browsers, but firefox took it a step further.

There is a "recently closed tab" page which is really convenient, until you need it most when you accidentally close multiple ones. On top of that, I lost multiple unnamed group tabs.

Am I missing something, or is the experience still subpar? I've been a power user of firefox for years now, and I get why I get clowned by chrome users ngl.

As stated, when I close browsers usually some random group of tabs, usually at the starting left side, will be moved to the end of tabs. I need to go in and manually select them and send them to the start or manually move them. Sometimes another group that was to the right of the starting tabs shows up in front of those moved to the end. I have 4 working windows with multiple tabs open. When all are closed, say as to reboot, the last one I was in usually is the one effected. Happens probably 7 or 8 times out of 10 closings.

tab groups can't get a new groups to actually show up even though they show up in the title bar and does not have the box around the other preexisting tab groupings. am using windows 11 on a desktop. i suppose something got changed somehow, but i have no idea of why this started nor how no fix it. any and all help greatly appreciated! wolfgang
