Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

1. 1. Steps to reproduce

Open several tabs, in settings, check «ouvrir les fenêtres et onglets précédents», quit firefox.

1. 1. 1. Expected behavior

On startup, Firefox should reopen with the same tabs before shutdown.

1. 1. 1. Actual behavior

Firefox opens with one empty tab. Forcing me to got to «history -> recently closed windows -> restore» everytime I quit Firefox or shutdown the mac.

1. 1. 1. Device & build information

• Device: MacOs Tahoe 26
• Build version: firefox 148.0.2
• First seen version: MacOs Sequoia

1. 1. 1. Notes

Fresh migration from Win 11 to Mac. tabs, passwords, bookmarks, plugins migrated from win to mac. Attachments:

When I switched to vertical tabs in Firefox, the Hikcentral professional web client camera server page changed, part of the page appeared at the top, making it difficult to use and watch the camera images, and the image doesn't display properly. How can I fix this problem?

This must be a setting in Firefox somewhere relating to Tabs, so I will continue to investigate, but... I feel like I could always click an email link I had received and it would open my preferred browser, in my case Firefox Mac OS latest (both) on a last Intel Macbook Pro. Now, a link click opens Firefox but only to the last page I was on, and I again need to click the email link to get the new tab to open. Why/where/help please?!

I had about 15 pinned tabs - unloaded - that I was saving for a research project. I shut my PC down and when powered up for the next session - all the pinned tabs were gone. I never thought to record the tabs via screen shot or something.

Is this normal - what are the limits of pinned tabs ? Do they expire in a day ? When the PC powers down ? When Firefox updates ?

Exactly what are the limits or boundaries for pinned tabs ?

Tab groups work well with the standard tab bar, but when changing to vertical tabs, there is no clear way to expand the menu (aka hit the 'V' at the right of the tab bar for horizontal tabs) to see the tab group.

The only fix i found was to turn off vertical tabs, open the tab group, then turn on vertical tabs again.

The recent update changed how the mute button works in Firefox, before it would replace the icon and would show text and whatnot if it was muted or wanted to autoplay; now it just always shows the mute/unmute button in a tab playing audio. This would normally be fine but it is causing my tabs to constantly be shrinking and expanding whenever the audio changes in a tab, and it's really frustrating me and it feels like an overall far worse user interface design than it was before, even if people were complaining about it. Is there some sort of middle ground where I can set a maximum tab size or something? I know this used to be a feature in about:config but it doesn't exist anymore for some reason. I've also tried using a userChrome CSS code for it that I found online; it got rid of the button but it still made the tab size change and the code I tried using for maximum tab size also didn't affect that. Really starting to frustrate me! Please give me any advice I feel like I've exhausted all my options lol

I've been trying to decipher browser.tabs.insertXXX with little success. What I want to achieve is to open tabs from the same site next to the current tab with the most recently opened tab next to the original tab.

Example Two tabs are open, site 1 tab 1 and site 2 tab 1. Open a new link to site 1 on site 1 tab 1. The order is site 1 tab 1, site 1 tab 2, site 2 tab1. Open another link to site 1 on site 1 tab 1. The order is now site 1 tab 1, site 1 tab 3, site 1 tab 2, site 2 tab 1.

Thanks in advance.

I can't save my tabs & windows anymore, I have the box checked but after I close down the computer I lose all the tabs when I reopen and then I need to put them all back manually. What has gone wrong it always worked before for many years? Please tell me how to fix it

Good evening. I have had to install my FF after a system repair. I have everything set back except when I click on a link and hightlight an item with my mouse and right click it opens a new tab. But before where it would just open it changes to the new tab immediately. Under settings I have the 'when open new tab switch to it immediately' unchecked and I was directed to four settings on about:config including browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to set to true. I did and the behavior did not change. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

I have vertical tabs enabled and the "expand when hovering mouse" option is activated (see screenshot). However, the latter functionality tends to glitch at some point in basically every session. I can't tell if a specific action triggers it, so far it seems pretty random. The glitch is that either the tabs are expanded and won't collapse, or the opposite: they're collapsed and refuse to expand when I point at them. Is this feature maybe still experimental? or something? I'm running Firefox 149.0b5 DEveloper Edition on Garuda Linux (Arch based).

Links keep opening in new windows, and not within new or same tab. Shift key is not stuck and all toggles in the Tabs Opening/Interaction Settings field have been turned off

When I start MF, all tabs I have used before open. Good! But one of these tabs are not in use. That it why I want to close it for ever.

The option to delete it for ever is not available.

Grateful for your help!

All my Tabs Group have disappeared from the Tab Bar. I can see the Closed Tab Groups in the drop down but i can't find a way to re-open Closed Tab Groups. Any clues welcome. Running 146.0 and on the beta update channel.

When using vertical tabs layout with "expand sidebar on hover" setting enabled, sidebar scrolls up with each expansion, so that when hovering over a certain tab of collapsed sidebar, another open tab is under the mouse pointer when expanded. For additional details please refer to the attached video.

Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable vertical tabs layout with "expand sidebar on hover" setting 2. Open a lot of tabs 3. Hover over a certain tab

Observed result: The sidebar expands with mouse over another tab and the list of tabs scrolled up.

Expected result: The sidebar expands and mouse pointer is hovering over the same tab after expansion from collapsed state.
