Firefox Community Forum

This feature/option is not working. I close with multiple tabs open, and restart and only the generic search/home page is there. It is tedious to have to reopen if many tabs have been used.

Right, it's bit hard to explain this but I'll try. I often right click on text to search google for it, but also just google stuff regularly. What happens is, after the new tab opening and I move to different tab from that google search, it forces me back to that tab. It usually happens right after opening that tab and just waiting few seconds and then switching tabs will "fix" it but it also randomly switches me to open google search from before after minutes have passed for no reason. This started happening few months ago but as I've been using less and less of my pc it hasn't been TOO much of an issue, but as I am starting to use it more again it is driving me insane. I can try to video it, I tried searching but couldn't find same behavior mentioned anywhere. Not sure what I can try to fix this.

tldr: moving from new google search tab changes tabs on itself and forces google search one to be focused, usually right after opening but sometimes after some time has passed too.

I do not want Firefox to restore my last session unless there was a crash, and thus I have the setting "Open previous windows and tabs" unchecked. However, if I reboot my PC and reopen Firefox, it brings up my last set of tabs. And I always close the entire Firefox window before shutting down, so there's no way it should think that it had crashed. This doesn't seem to happen when I close Firefox and reopen within the same PC session (i.e. without shutting down in between).

Firefox 147.0.2 (64-bit) on my Lenovo Yoga 7 Windows 11 Home has been randomly malfunctioning when i use the hover over tabs with the mouse to show what is in the tab (small image) Sometimes it just fails for several hours, other times it works fine on its own later that same day.

I have tried to find this inside the browser several times with trying to find this browser-tabs-card-Preview-enabled inside about:config But it doesn't seem to exist in this version and apparently you can't add a new rule inside the browser to solve it.

Google AI solutions search is outdated or the wrong version. My computer and browser are up to date. How do i fix this ? I don't want to uninstall it, lose my logins and the bookmarks if i am unable to sync my files after trying to reinstall the browser only to find out it has failed.
