Firefox Community Forum

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

I made a tab group i saved it and closed it save memory, but i don't know how to find it to restore it I assumed after saving it there would be a list in my menu of saed tab groups for latter restore but i see nothing in the menu....

i normally have over 200 tabs open, but i've been getting lag and memory issue with my pc so I thought i'd uses this feature to close and organize some of my tabs....but i can't figure out were the menu that lists my saved tab groups...

Tabs disappeared after I updated (as suggested) to the latest Firefox version (Version 142.0.1). My bookmarks were retained, but my tabs disappeared. How can I find them? When I look at "recently closed tabs" under "History," I only see tabs from today, none that were on the previous version of Firefox.

For a week my pinned tabs are lost every time I open Firefox. I have checked my settings, they were the same as always. I have de-selected them, closed and re-opened firefox, selected them again, closed and re-opened again, pinned my tabs again. Then closed and re-opened firefox and still they are not there. I have done this multiple time with the same results. This seems to have started after the last update.

Tabs are not restoring after session closed. I have tried the profile suggestion. I verified my settings say open tabs from last session. Rebooted. Cleared cache then opened tabs then closed and it keeps only opening one tab. It crashed last night with tabs on it and this was the results once I brought it back up.

When I'm on a website and click on a link to open in a new tab, the new tab option does not show. The open a new window shows. The options should show in the order of open a new tap on top, followed by open a new window. This only happens when the link shows above two third's of the page. If the link is on the bottom third of the page the option for open a new tab shows above the open a new window. When on a web page I can't scroll down if the link is above two thirds of the page (at the top two thirds of the page). This has been happening through Firefox updates that don't correct this issue.

Please consider optimizing the resource management while minimizing a tab group. This would be an amazing option to be included. If its already present in the tab groups inherent workflow, please add more documentation about its effects and more. Maybe adding optional workflows for a scenario of usage like a energy efficient usage button for a tab group is a great idea.

tabs I do not have open appear below search window, how can I stop that’ for ‘Firefox?

Sites I do have open are at the top, that's all I need, this extra vector of links I don't want now clutters by screen and may be using my resources.

Every time I try to close a window with a single tab, it notifies me that I'm about to close 2 tabs while having only one tab within that window. Kindly advise on the reason

Just wondering, are the Tab Groups only saved locally or also on the Account? Have also heard that the Tab Groups feature has sometimes been disabled by itself, when re-opening Firefox, and they lost all their groups and had to enable the feature again. But I don't know anything else about that, and just would like to know, if the Tab Groups can be or are saved on the Mozilla Account.

More frequently than I care to admit, I seem to close FF instances which I don't want to close (such as my connection to Whatsapp). I then miss important replies or questions. Of course I can reach out to 'History' and try to find the closed Tab or Window... But that takes time.

I'd suggest adding/removing a 'protection' flag to a tab (eg. on right-clicking), so that, on trying to close the tab, or close the window containing the tab, I get a warning...

I love having the ability to group some of my tabs but I'm wondering if it's possible to create "subgroups" of tabs inside of a "group". For instance, it would be very confusing & even chaotic to have one tab group named "Computers" that has tabs for sites where I buy computers/parts/software, sites where I go to for support for my hardware/software issues, & sites where where I can read reviews about the up & coming new hardware/software. However, the chaos would go away if I could have 3 tab subgroups (Shopping, Support, & News) UNDER a "top level" tab named "Computers".

From what I've been able to find on the Firefox website, this capability is not yet available but I'm wondering if it's something that's currently in development. If not, I would like to suggest that it be seriously considered. I realize that some people could take this kind of capability to the extreme, with hundreds of tabs organized using multiple "sub-tiers" & trying to develop something to support the extreme cases would be a nightmare. However, the ability to even two levels (groups & 1 level of subgroups) would be a HUGE improvement over the current situation.

hallo zusammen wo finde ich in firefox eine funktion, die mir die zuletzt angesehen und geöffneten tabs wieder herstellt?😐

in den einstellungen ist "Vorherige Fenster und tabs öffnen" angehakt.

es kommt aber wiederholt nach updates dazu, dass die letzten fenster und tabs nicht wieder geöffnet werden, sondern nur 1 tab mit der festgelegten startseite.🤷‍♂

muss ich mich damit abfinden, dass die letzten tabs hin und wieder im nirwana verschwinden? oder gibt es auch dafür einen tipp für laien?🙏
