Firefox za Android Community Forum

I'm using Firefox for Android version 156.0 (Build #2016183655) on Android 16.

When the setting Enable Tab Groups is set to disabled, why am I still able to drag and drop one tab on top of the other, with the "Create tab group" page shown to me as in the attached picture??? It seems the only difference in setting Enable Tab Groups to disabled is that once I click Save on the Create tab group page I'm brought back to the tab page without the group being created.

While I truly appreciate the option to disable tab groups, the entire reason I want to disable them is because I'm so tired of trying to rearrange my tabs and having the interface think I'm trying to create a group instead of simply rearranging them! This whole tab group idea has created such a mess and it's so much extra work trying to avoid it, and I sincerely believe that disabling the Enable Tab Group setting should completely prevent the Create tab group page from ever appearing at all. Surely the way it's working now can't be how it was intended to work???

I have followed the Firefox articles regarding displaying tabs vertically with no success. How do I set-up Firefox for Android to display the open tabs vertically, if that is possible?

Also, how do I get the toolbar to show?

Is there any way, or if not, could there be any way in the future, to make it so that when you "close all tabs" in Firefox Android, tabs in tab groups don't get closed? Because currently, if you "close all tabs", the tabs within tab groups close but the groups stay, just now empty. The way I use Firefox, I'd find it immensely useful if the grouped tabs would be exempted from "close all tabs".

In the past, for my open tabs I was able to move them around, and place a certain tab in a different position, and Firefox would simply Move the tab over , making room for the tab you want to relocate.

Now, When I grab a tab, it does NOT do that. What has changed??

I just installed firefox, but every time i leave a page, it stays open and a new tab opens. I google something, press back, and it opens a new tab while keeping the google with the question open. It leaves me with tabs i manually have to close I also don't want to use the automatic function, because i like keeping a few tabs open for myself, and also it wouldn't solve my problem. So the tabs staying open just causes a lot of tab-clutter Is there any setting or trick to it?

I utilize the browser for work, and the ability to have tabs in split screen greatly helps me speed up my workflow.

I sometimes am able to work from home, and all I have as an Android Tablet, and it seems the android version of firefox doesn't have this functionality.

For my open tabs , I was able to drag the open tab into a new spot, but recently I cannot switch them around. Is there a sett>ng that may have changed?? Or other reason?

As someone who tends to have a lot of tabs open, I am constantly frustrated by trying to scroll through my tabs, only to consistently have tabs accidentally closed because my thumb drifts slightly to one side or the other. I find this 'feature' very annoying. There's an 'x' on the corner of each tab in the all tabs view should I choose to, or want to close one. The only saving grace I have in these situations is the undo prompt when my tabs are inadvertently closed, if I'm quick enough to catch it, or realize that it happened. I would like to disable this 'swipe to close' nonsense though, so that my tabs only get closed when I Want them to be closed. But I can't seem to find a setting for it. Sometimes the page I was using in them loses information, or messes up what I was doing on them due to them being closed and subsequently reloaded. Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

Earlier tab switcher in Firefox mobile had half screen height which was easily accessible by one hand but now it's on the top of screen which is harder to reach.

At least there should be an option to switch between the two or bring back the old tab switcher and make it go full screen if swiped up and half screen when swiped down.

This one is just killing me reach to the top of screen every time.

Hi! I´m a big shortcut user and a year-long Firefox fan and user. Now it´s the first time I´m using an Android tablet (Boox Tab X C) and the typical shortcuts for new tab (Ctrl + T), close tab (Ctrl + W), etc. do not work. I researched this a little and it seems to be by design. Why do you forsake us, Firefox god??

In any case, thanks for the good work folks. Love the Mozilla name and what it stands for for a long time now. Peace

When I woke up to an update saying tab groups were now on android I was thrilled. ... And then I couldn't use them.

I have confirmed, to the best of my ability, that I am on the correct version, version 153.0, in the firefox settings. I have read the article about creating them back to front. I turned my phone on and off again, cleared the cache, etc etc... As far as I can reasonably tell, it should work, and it just doesn't.

The Mozilla browser is experiencing issues with restoring tabs notifications every time you open some websites. This occurs in Mozilla V155.0. Please fix this issue.

In an android tablet can Firefox show the tabs on top of the browser view? As it is now I have to jump to a weird "tab screen" to see the other tabs. Feels like it's not really a tab but more like a separate window. Very kludgy way to go from one "tab" to another. This is a huge step back from Chrome.

In previous versions of Firefox for Android, there was a button in the tab management screen that allowed a user to copy/share the URLs of all open tabs.

As of V148.0.2, that button no longer exists, and I don't see a way to copy all tabs to clipboard (without selecting each tab individually, which is unreasonable with any large number of tabs).

Is there a way to copy the URL of all tabs in this new version?

My Firefox app is updated to the latest version available (154.0.1 Build #2016180583). In multiple places over the past couple of months, I've seen Mozilla advertising Tab Groups for the Android Firefox app, but I still have not gotten this functionality. Right now on the Google Play Store page, there is a section that says "Major update" for "Tab groups. It's like therapy for your tabs." However, there is no new update available for me to select because it's already updated to the most recent version. How do I get the tab groups functionality? I've seen some mentions of this possibly being a phased roll out, but if that's the case, why is it be broadly advertised without any indication that it's not actually available to everyone yet?

I followed the instructions in the article. Creating tab groups is impossible. Dragging and dropping just rearranges the order. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-firefox-android
