Firefox supportforum

Hello

I cant find anything about, how to have audio from multiple tabs at the same time, What i mean example: I want one tab to play music, and second tab to to play audio with podcast or something similar. Could you help me with this, I would be grateful.

Best regards, Daniel

I very rarely reopen my apps because I also very rarely power off my laptop and use sleep mode instead (usually times between actual shutdowns are around a week). So ubuntu snap likes to update apps regardless of app being closed or not. And once in a while I get my firefox instance closed without me doing it, this would be fine if after reopening it all my tabs were in the same place (or at least I could restore them), but they all gone. I can't restore a session, I only have my history and have to reopen all of them manually.

Please don't tell me to use laptop like a normal person or that I can just listen to ubuntu warnings about updates and close software once in a while. The point is that I don't have this issue with other browsers (also using chrome and brave). If one of this counterparts shuts down unexpectedly it always suggests to restore your session on startup. I know firefox has this feature, but it seems to not work in this exact scenario.

im used to be able to open firefox and all tabs restore correctly, but as of right now this function dont seem to work, i've attempt to disable and re-enable function and it's unsuccessfully, i dont want to fresh install FF, but tried install FF Nightly and it's reopen tabs just fine. what's wrong with main versions?

Hi, I have had an issue for a couple of weeks now, very annoying, when say in excel or intellij, I am pressing the tab button, and for example, it doesnt indent as it should 4 spaces, instead it goes outside of what I am working on, and goes to firefoxview in top left, and if I press tab about 10-12 times, after this specific and exact sequence, it will end up back in excel for example, in the correct place, and then will work properly, but only after it has completed the first 10-12 steps. It is not specific to one laptop, but also applies to desktop, both are apple, one laptop is 9 years old desktop is newish fwiw.

Tried resetting keyboard to default settings on both etc, no change.

Help appreciated.

Over the last few weeks, I would say four times in last month, all my pinned and tabbed websites disappear. Currently the space where they normally go is blank. Please advise.

I've asked this question a long time ago, and received no answers. I resorted to resetting it every time, however a new problem has come about, forcing me to ask again.

Whenever I open my browser, my tabs have reset themselves to default width. I prefer them at a wider width, so I navigate to about:config and edit the browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to 100. I have to do this every time.

However, for some reason doing this now also hides/removes tab close buttons on each tab, which is problematic to my style of browsing.

I had an userCSS file, but even after removing it as a test, the problem persists. If it matters, my style of browsing has me keep two windows open at any given time. I did try to change it with only one window open, but the change did not stick.

Only tab-specific add-ons I have are FoxyTab and a tab suspender.

Any help is appreciated, be it making sure the tab close buttons do not disappear, or be it making sure the tabs remain at minimum of 100 width.

By mistake, I close a window with lots of opened tabs and can not get them back. In the past when this happened I went to history but now there's no available option in "recently closed windows".

Hello. My previous computer failed. I bought a new computer with Windows 11…plus I have the hard drive from the previous computer connected as an external drive to my new computer. I would like to know how I might retrieve my old session of Firefox tabs that I had up and running on my old computer. Thank you so much, Lawrence Eason

Hi there. I'm using Windows 10. Recently, I have noticed that pressing Ctrl+F4 doesn't close a Firefox tab for me anymore. Ctrl+W does close the current tab, but my muscle memory is for Ctrl+F4 and I'd like to figure out why it quit working.

Any clues for me? Thank you!

Whenever I right-click a YouTube video on the home page and select 'open link in new tab' followed by launching the tab in focus, the YouTube video on the corresponding tab automatically starts playing. How do I get the YouTube video on new tabs to stop automatically playing as soon as I enter the tab?

Troubleshooting steps attempted:

Disabling all add-ons. Selected block audio and video 'for the autoplay setting under Privacy & Securty. Set media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed via about:config to true

The strange part is that if I open Firefox in a clean, new profile, navigate to the YouTube website, and then right-click a YouTube video to 'open link in new tab' and then open the tab itself, the video DOES NOT automatically start playing. How do I get that same functionality on my default, main profile?

EDIT - Solved! For anybody who wants to disable autoplay follow this tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn7_PiwhG4M

Hello everybody. I have the option checked, that makes Firefox restore all opened tabs from the previous session when I closed it. When I open Firefox up again, it opens all my last tabs and puts me in the one I last used. However what I want to happen is, that it opens all my tabs from last session but also opens my homepage and puts me there. Is there any way to achieve this?

I have honestly no idea why you guys don't have an option to be able to put the tabs bellow the address bar like in the old versions of firefox. I used the userchrome.css for a long time to place the tabs back on the bottom of the address bar and at the minimum once a year you guys break the program. Is it so hard to program a switch or something to place the tabs on the bottom?

Help! My Dell Windows 11 laptop got stuck in a bit locker/advanced repair loop, and I had to reset my laptop. Told the laptop to keep my files. However, I’ve lost my tabs I had open, and no history. Tried to find previous Firefox profiles, with no luck. Any other advice? Or is it all lost

Tabs to not reliably reopen after closing Firefox. The latest occurrence, but not the only one, was after updating macOS 13 on a Mac Mini M1 using current version of FireFox.

I have read multiple help pages and double and triple checked settings. My work around has been to Bookmark All Open Tabs each time I close FireFox or shutdown the Mac - doable but a nuisance.

Suggestions appreciated
