When I click a link I always want it to open in a new tab. How do I do this without doing a right-click and selecting "Open in new tab"?

I want it to open in a new tab when I simply click the left mouse button.

With vertical tabs and expand on hover, clicking on the X box rarely closes the tab. Sometimes I have success if the pointer is on the left or right line of the box. Not having luck on the center of the box. Has been true for several weeks. With hover off, clicking the X works fine. I am running Windows 11.

Sidebar for vertical tabs vs horizontal tab behaviour (Fullscreen use)

Hi,

I started using the 'Vertical tabs' option to manage my tabs. I prefer it over the horizontal bar. However, I noticed that when going fullscreen (F11) the vertical tabs are not removed. This is different from horizontal tabs, which are removed from the UI when you press F11.

I think that's because vertical tabs are tied to the sidebar altogether. Is there an alternative to have the vertical tabs work the same as horizontal tabs?

Horizontal bar behaviour in fullscreen:

- The horizontal bar disappears when going fullscreen (F11) - The horizontal bar reappears when hovering the mouse over the top of the screen (which is great!)

Vertical bar behaviour in fullscreen:

- The vertical bar does not disappear and gets in the way of the fullscreen (F11) experience - Checking the setting "Expand sidebar on hover" does not replicate the behaviour of the horizontal bar reappearing upon hovering the mouse. Instead, the smaller version of the sidebar remains and it expands to it's full size when the mouse hovers over it - The only option is to remove the sidebar altogether, which means going back to horizontal tabs

Tab groups being returned to Firefox desktop a couple of months ago is one of my favourite features, which makes my life significantly better. However, I cannot find any information on its presence in Firefox Android. Is it added and not well documented? Is it not added? Is there a plan to add it to Firefox Android?

Running FF V140 on Windows 11, "naming" a window has disappeared & no "Restore Previous Session" in menu

In early June 2025 I finally ditched Windows 10 for 11 and I've been a Firefox user since practically the very beginning of Mozilla.

Now, I notice that the "Restore Previous Session" button in the drop-down of the FF menu is missing. Additionally, I discovered late in the game that Mozilla DID listen to me and gave us the ability to "name" or "tag" an entire window in the browser. This was a HUGE boon to productivity as I'm constantly toggling from window to window to tab to tab.... Now, with the most recent update this ability seems to have disappeared....

In Google Chrome and Brave Chrome, there is a function for moving a tab to a different window. Firefox does not appear to have this function. Is there a way to move a tab to a different window?

How can I move a tab to an open window? I know there is a function in the pull down menu to open the tab in a new window, but I would like to move the tab to a window that is already open. Google and Brave Chrome have a seamless, easy way on the pull down menu. I use it all the time, but I want to keep Firefox as my default browser. Thanks!

I'm on the latest FF 140.0.1 on Linux and I adore tab groups, I'm using it more and more to organize my browser windows. I am using the default (horizontal) tab group layout. Because I have a lot of tabs in the window, I collapse each existing tab group and sort tabs between tab groups.

I can move a tab into an expanded tab group with drag and drop. But I tried dragging and dropping a tab onto a collapsed tab group, even holding it over the collapsed tab group to see if that would work. Nothing seems to register, is it possible?

I would like to move a tab by drag and drop without expanding the collapsed tab group and move the window focus to the next tab. This would save time when I am organizing tabs!

The alternative is to Add a tab to a collapsed tab group, which also expands it and consumes horizontal real estate, forcing me to scroll (further) to return where I was organizing tabs. So I collapse the newly expanded tab group, scroll back to the next tab I want to organize into a different tab group, and repeat but this causes a lot of scrolling navigation to my workflow. It makes complete sense and I really like using menu navigation to add tabs to a specific group because it is discreet and I wish I could move tabs with the same method.

I searched Settings > Tabs and then about:config for browser.tabs.groups.* (and then every preference with tab in it) and couldn't find anything that made sense to me.

Thank you for any help!

I really like the new tab group feature and I wondered if it would be possible to isolate tracking within a tab group. I didn't know about tab containers yet but it seems like a great feature to have the option to have a tab group also act as it's own tab container.

Are there any plans for integration between these two features?

Can someone tell me why it is if I'm on a tab and either accidentally or on purpose click the home icon the tab will shut down, and be replaced by the home page? What type of backwards reasoning went into that feature? I've had this happen numerous times without intent, and sometimes with the intent to hit the home button and either way the same thing happens. If it weren't for the browser keeping a history, there are times I would be just out of luck, and have to suck it up. This is not a feature I want in a browser. Instead hitting the home button should forward the tab I'm on to the home page with the ability to back click to the tab I was on. Someone needs to re-think this feature. I would really like to have someone on the development team address this issue.

I did not ask for tab grouping. I do not want tab grouping. And then when browser grouped tabs without my requesting it to; and would NOT allow me a way to un-group them, providing only the option to "delete tab group", which when exercised deleted all the tabs, not just the group! Now, I don't f-ing want firefox anymore! Why act like microsoft and shove features down our throat without explanation or option to chose or not chose?
