Sorry if this problem have already solved before.

After update 158, I've noticed change of closing tabs when it involve unloaded and unopened tabs. I'll try my best to explain: Pre-update 158 - For example, I have 3 tabs. Left-hand is an unopened tab with coloured icon and no image preview. Middle one is I'm currently on. Right-hand is has been opened but I unloaded it; it has grey icon. When I close the current tab, the browser moves to tab on the right and loads it. This is usual behaviour since I started using Firefox long time ago.

After update 158 - Same example as above but when I close the current tab, the browser moves to one on the left instead.

This change means that the browser no longer moves to right-hand tabs if they're unloaded unless if I choose manually. Also, if I have 4 tabs but #1 is unopened with coloured icon, #2 is unloaded with grey icon, #3 is current tab and #4 is unloaded with grey icon. If I close the current tab, #3, it goes to #1 automatically.

So is there something in config to restore back to previous behaviour?

Bonjour, j'ai perdu beaucoup de temps aujourd'hui car mes onglets ont disparu sans savoir pourquoi. Je les ai tous recréé mais en fermant Firefox, les onglets ont de nouveau disparu. Qu'est ce qui se passe? c'est très irritant. L'option de conserver les onglets est activée, mais il semble que votre browser est complétement instable en ce moment. Pouvez vous m'orienter rapidement vers une solution? c'est vraiment pénible comme problème

I think this started 1 or 2 days ago, after a Firefox update. When clicking on a bookmark and using "open in new tab", anew tab isn't opened. The wanted bookmark page just replaces the earlier screen, and no new tab is made.

I had to restart my computer for updates so I clicked on my container and closed it thinking it was like closing a program and then re-opening it. Now it's gone and several hours research with it. Is there any way to restore a closed container?

This is new behaviour. I havent been playing with the settings, so I imagine its come as a side effect of an update...?

Very frustrating since I have come to rely on having 6 permanent tabs which I use every day for new, prices, weather etc...

There doesn't seem to be an "Other " or "Additional Options" category, so if Settings isn't in the correct category, please tell me where to post this. TIA

I want to be able to create multiple default 'pinned" tabs that will appear every time I open up a new window. Is that possible? If so, how? Again, TIA

Hello, As a Manifest V3 refugee I'm coming from Edge and I really like the changes I see Firefox has made over the years. At our company we started using Firefox by default for new installs instead of Edge for a few weeks now. There are a few features that we definitely miss, namely:

• Copy Link Text on right click. It's a very helpful feature on Edge. It copies the text that's link formatted because I don't need to open the link I just want to copy the text. Yes holding ALT works, but it's not as convenient.
• Split Tabs. Split screen is great, but UI elements take up space. It would be nice if it were managed by the browser. That way even going full screen with F11 gets me a clear view of both sites.
• I also miss the ability to use Bitwarden (or any password manager extension) alongside my browser password manager. I use each for different purposes, and disabling the built-in password manager because an extension is installed means I only have to use Bitwarden. I have it set up in a way that Bitwarden is for secure password that need biometrics, and my browser password manager is for less important passwords (internal tools mostly).

I'm sure more things will come up in the future as I'm using Firefox on both desktop and mobile. And I am really liking it compared to all the browsers I used for both platforms.

Context: In the customize sidebar section, if the "Vertical tabs" checkbox is checked, the vertical tabs can be switched between showing names and favicons, or just favicons. If, additionally, "Hide tabs and sidebar" is checked, then vertical tabs instead can be switched between showing names and favicons, or being completely hidden. (These settings are in the photo I uploaded)

The recent update seemed to add a feature I had been really wanting from vertical tabs. I could switch between all three states: favicons and names, just favicons, or completely hidden. I could do this by dragging the vertical tab pane smaller or bigger. A few days later, though, it stopped working, but I didn't change any settings (as far as I remember).

Is there any way to get the three-state vertical tabs back? They were really nice!

When there is a crash, update, or restore session, my Firefox windows do not restore in the same task bar order that they were beforehand, which is very important to me for workflow. I need to change the links to all the open windows. At least it would be great if I could drag and drop the the windows to re-order them. With frequent updates by Mozilla and Microsoft, it would be really helpful to get this fixed.

Hello, where does one find the option to return old tab folder look?

These bubbles look ridiculous and remind me of the 'corporate art'. As a long time user, my heart just cannot accept this. I was on the verge of crying when I saw this on my PC (I have been actively avoiding this update after seeing it on my laptop). I have looked everywhere in the settings but did not succeed on my own.

Would greatly appreciate the help before I double my OCD medication norm

How can I force FF (win11 v157.0) to always open links in a new tab without using <Ctrl> click or "center-wheel" click ?

I found these commands but nothing has changed about:config browser.newtabpage.enabled true browser.search.openintab true browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs true Set browser.link.open_newwindow to 3 set browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction to 0
