Hello,

I dislike the Group Tabs feature. So many times I've accidentally created a Group Tab and then had to figure out how to un-group them.

I've tried to change the value of the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" preference to false, but it doesn't stick; after restarting, the value is always back to "true".

What’s up with this?

Thanks, Andre’a

Hi,

In my Firefox Developer install the new tab groups feature seems to now be working like one would expect, but my main Firefox install (Firefox desktop 138.0 (64-bit)) has some issues.

I can add tab groups, add tabs to groups, but left mouse clicking the colored tab header does NOT close the tab group, like it does in Developer browser. Mode of tab group clearly changes, as the tab is either dark or light colored after a mouse click.

I don't remember changing any other settings lately in about:config, except setting tabs.groups feature to true, and I don't have too many extensions installed, and I also tried disabling all the extensions, but that didn't help.

I recently decided to try vertical tabs in Firefox, and can't find a way to search these tabs as I could when they were horizonal, with the downward pointing arrowhead. If this is a feature, please let me know how to add it to my sidebar, and if not, it would be great if this feature could be developed. Thanks!

Latest update reduced the size of tiles on my new tab page. they're too small now to read the letter or custom image. And only a few letters of the name of the site below the tile are visible. Not enough to know what the tile is for.

How do I return them to their normal size?

the tab groups feature doesn't work. WHen i drag one tab onto another, nothing happens, other than the tabs go back and forth. Can't put one tab over another and no group is created.

I have noticed that Firefox has been getting too many updates recently...even as much as 2 updates this week alone. Frankly i'm sick of getting the green icons and pop-ups in the upper right corner. Is there a way in about:blank codes to turn off these stealth downloading behaviour and prompt pop-ups to restart the browser and let me just manually do it in settings when i want to but without notifications ?

The keyboard shortcut L of "copy link" in right menu over a link is inconvenient for most right-handed people. I want it back to old keyboard shortcut A.

After new version 134 update, the shortcut L to A is not working again.

I posted 2 links in 2023 and 2021, but they are not working now. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1333526 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1433785

Could you please fix this bug?

Thank you so much! Brian

The latest firefox update introduced tab groups, something I've been eagerly waiting for ever since chrome released it!

However, my firefox's tab groups don't hide the tabs correctly. In the video demo I see that when you click on the name of the tab group, it should collapse all the tabs and hide them.

In my firefox, when I click the tab group name, the tabs don't get hidden as expected.

Here is a video that shows the bug I'm referencing: https://imgur.com/a/8ewW1a2

I tried disabling all my extensions and restarting firefox, also tried in private mode, and it still was having the same experience.

Are there any about:config settings that I might have accidentally changed that could be causing this?

Thanks!

Greetings...

I am a frequent user of multiple tabs whenever I use Firefox. As a result, the new Tab Groups feature interests me, primarily if it will help my to organize and manage my multiple open tabs. Initially, I have the following specific questions.

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of tabs that a Tab Group can contain?

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of Tab Groups that can be open at the same time?

Q: Does the use of one or more Tab Group negatively affect the performance of my web browser?

Q: Can a Tab Group be bookmarked? (Periodically, I need to bookmark a group of open tabs and I am currently able to do so by selecting all of the tabs then bookmarking them as a set.)

Q: Does the new Tab Groups feature represent a way to reduce the number of open tabs that appear at the top of my web browser - basically, a way for multiple open tabs to occupy a smaller space versus scrolling them across the top of my web browser?

Thank you very much for your feedback! Take care...

I have notice for some time the Firefox start have updates almost daily it is not too bad whats that bug me is the matter the updates only start show up the information the availability after you log in any account or web site , never in your Firefox Home. you can stay 1 hour with Firefox open with home screen and no alert of updated show 10 second after you login in on email account or enter in any web site the pop up the availability updated what start became annoying .

Thank you .

Most other forums don't impose this type of limited categorization. What is the best way to proceed here when you topic here doesn't have an obvious fit? This is not uncommon. Should I be concerned that my question won't get to the right eyes/assistance needed?

Some venues offer the ability to add tags. Why not give us the ability to add "tags" if you believe some sort of pre-designation is necessary? Does that qualify for my choosing this topic?

How about "other"?

Lately I've had to reload/refresh pages more frequently because of download issues. In order to the in FF I need to press the F5 key. To do the same thing in either Edge or Chrome all I need to do is right click and a little popup screen shows me the reload/refresh right there. Much more convenient to use. FF should use a similar technique.

I had a Firefox update yesterday, April 29th. Since then, my Bookmarks sidebar no longer opens automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I have to go to the sidebar icon at the upper right of my screen to open the Bookmarks. I went to my settings, and the box for automatic opening was not checked. I checked the box, and it still does not function. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and what the solution could be?

Hi there,

I enabled the new tab groups feature the other day - having used it in Chrome on my work computer, I know how useful it can be.

However, it doesn't seem like there's any way to collapse tab groups and just leave them as like a square to be opened and closed just by clicking on the tab group? Am I mistaken here? Every time I try to click on the tab group to close it, the tab group just changes color (i.e., goes from blue background with white text to blue text on a white background) and none of the tabs are collapsed into the group (i.e., they just stay on the tab bar, and I'm shifted to a different tab).

Is this happening for other people? Is this what is supposed to happen? Is there some setting that I need to enable? I've tried seeing if it's conflicting with any my add-ons, and I haven't found anything just yet. I'm awfully confused, so I'm hoping someone can help explain what might be amiss here. Thanks in advance.

There is no Japanese in the language to which the website is translated. It is understandable that Chinese is available in the Asian region. However, we would like to ask why there is Indonesian, Vietnamese and Korean, but no Japanese.

I would like to reiterate everything said below. This needs to be a standard feature. This seems like a no-brainer and should be a standard function on any browser. It only shows that Mozilla is getting left behind, even Edge has this feature, what makes it worse...IE had this feature and that is considered ancient tech now. from: kenmendell Now that I've got you and we're on the subject, Firefox seriously, MOST seriously, needs to bring back the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and have a "Save All Tabs" command of its own. There are no third-party apps and Add-Ons that do this very well anymore or at all, the older ones that used to do this no longer work well or at all. Firefox needs them in the browser to stay. It's never been the same without the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and trying to "Save All Tabs" the same way you would save a single page with "Save Page As" is frustratingly impossible to do. Any older Add-On or program that did this no longer works well or at all and hasn't for almost a decade or longer. It needs to be a standard function of any advanced browser. Firefox needs these functions as the normal standard. So, bring this up with your design team as an imperative because my having to migrate to these other lesser capable browsers the way others have doesn't appeal to me when Firefox should be a decade beyond their design and development, especially for functions that shouldn't be difficult hurdles for any modern browser to have.

With the change in the Privacy policy and TOU for Mozilla, it's been mentioned in several official responses that certain functionality will not be possible going forward without those changes.

If I never use suggestions, hints, or any mozilla services with firefox. Just what functionality becomes a problem that you need to change the "We will never sell your data" and the other equally disturbing "you grant mozilla a irrevocable non-exclusive royalty free right..."?

How about some clear transparency instead of the opaque non-specific statements you've been making?

Loyal users of firefox for the last 20+ years deserve better than this.

Oh, and why can't I remove the search shortcuts for bookmarks, tabs and history, I'd like to map those keys to something else.
