I'd like to know how to hide the previews for vertical tabs in Firefox. I've already unchecked the "Show preview image when hovering over tabs" option in the settings. Is it impossible to hide them?

Two weeks ago I started getting popups telling me to use tab groups (pic below). I have no settings governing tab groups, I did not update Firefox, I didn't enable or change anything.

How to I turn this off?

Win10 140.8.0esr 64bit

I often hit ^T (control-T) in firefox without meaning to, because I use that chord in other applications a lot. In firefox it opens a new tab, which is almost never what I want. I'd like to suppress that keyboard shortcut. I tried doing it using vimium (unmap <c-t>) but that has no effect.

Thank you, Silvio

I recently refreshed my FF installation. Before I did that I had configured my tab settings to always display the x icon (close tab) in all active tabs. After the refresh, the x icon is gone for all tabs.

I cannot remember what I did to get them to display originally. I've tried to do this in the userchrome.css file. But it didn't work. Let me know if you have a solution.

Not able to create new tabs on this Firefox browser on Home computer while the same is working fine on my handheld. The tabs are synced between the devices. Moreover, after I switched back from Vertical tabs to horizontal these issues cropped up and they are persisting after multiple browser restarts as well.

dear sir/ mam:

like in safari, i had pinned the websites (as tabs) i visit regularly.

when i restarted the browser, all tabs were gone.

i have been using this feature in safari since a decade and no pinned tabs have been lost.

please guide.

All of a sudden Firefox stopped reloading my previous tabs when I start Firefox (whether or not it is set to open automatically on start up). I have ensured the relevant boxes are ticked and I have even reinstalled Firefox altogether - and all to no avail.

I am using Firefox on a W11 64 bit desktop. I have used it for years and have never had this problem before.

I have vertical tabs enabled and the "expand when hovering mouse" option is activated (see screenshot). However, the latter functionality tends to glitch at some point in basically every session. I can't tell if a specific action triggers it, so far it seems pretty random. The glitch is that either the tabs are expanded and won't collapse, or the opposite: they're collapsed and refuse to expand when I point at them. Is this feature maybe still experimental? or something? I'm running Firefox 149.0b5 DEveloper Edition on Garuda Linux (Arch based).

The tabs and groups do not show up in the History or the Recent tab groups areas. The recently closed windows button is grayed out. and the recovery files from; sessionstore-backups do not contain the tabs. How do i get them back?

Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

I open firefox and open two or three tabs. Than I check task manager, because my computer is running warm and I find firefox has opened 12 to 20 tabs. I have tried every suggested fix for this problem with no resolution. Can you provide a fix for this problem. I have the same problem on my Lenovo laptop as well.

Hello. I'm using vertical tabs in Firefox, but the previews are displayed and are getting in the way. I've checked the settings, and there are options for "Show preview image when hovering over tab" and "Show tab previews in taskbar," but... Is there no way to hide them in vertical tabs? Firefox 149.0 64-bit

When I open Firefox, all my bookmarked sites start loading at the same time. I have unchecked, the "Startup Open previous windows and tabs" option in General Settings. I also deleted, and added Firefox again, but all sites are still loading on opening Firefox. (Chrome browser is fine.) Any ideas? Thanks!

I tried unchecking and rechecking all start settings. When I close Firefox, it asks if I want to close all tabs - the only option is to cancel, leaving Firefox open, or Yes, which would close all my tabs and not reopen the tabs on startup.

My recent history is also missing.
