Firefox-Hilfeforum

when i close a tab the app stays open in the task manager. The TM shows 14 open apps and I only have three tabs in my browser. That eats up memory for no reason.

Maybe also a security issue?

Hi, When my PC starts up, it automatically starts up Firefox with 2 recaptcha tabs. Nowhere have I set anything to startup Firefox (not in Start menu). Also, nowhere have I got a recaptcha-bookmark that I saved. How can I get rid of this or find out what's going on? Thank you, greetings from the Netherlands, Joop

I've had 4 different Firefox windows for months now or even more than a year. I use two monitors and I use lots of tabs. It has been easier for me until now to organize like that. I have 3 Firefox windows on my main monitor - one of them has like 10 tabs open. The other has 5. And the third one had maybe around 100. On the other monitor I have the last 4th Firefox window that has around 500 tabs open. I do this all the time where I get to a point in which I review them all in a day or two, filtrate thru the content I saved thru this method and after that reset the browser. So today I started this cleaning process with the 3rd window that had over 100 tabs. Was going great when suddenly I clicked the X button on the whole window and without any warning it instantly closed. I restarted the computer and nothing happened. All my information from over 100 tabs now gone forever and honestly this might sound funny to you but I'm literally having a panic attack right now having difficulties breathing. Before when it happened at times that I click the close button on these windows it always asked me a warning message if I want to close the window with these X tabs. No matter if the tabs are 10, 100 or 800. Always. No matter how many windows I have opened with different tabs in them. I immediately checked my settings and I see that "Confirm before closing multiple tabs" wasn't turned on which like NO WAY IN HELL did I go in the settings menu and turned that thing off. I haven't been in the settings menu since I installed firefox on this PC which was after I got my Windows OS like 2 years ago. And as I said I remember multiple times in these past months where I clicked the close button and it asks me if I want to close these X multiple tabs. So I dunno how that happened. Also I had the "Open previous windows and tabs" TURNED ON but that also didn't work apparently for some reason. So I'm not really sure what question I want to ask here, I guess I want some explanation why these things happened when clearly they shouldn't have and it wasn't my fault/mistake (from my point of view considering the facts). And also if there is any way to restore that window with the closed tabs.

Hi!

I had two Firefox windows open at the same time, one with a lot of tabs open in it, and one with only a few open. I was going to close firefox in order to restart the computer, and closed the window with many tabs in it first, and then I closed the window with only a few tabs in it. The next time I started Firefox, only the window with a few tabs in it loaded, and not the other window in which I had the vast majority of all opened tabs. And I can't find any way to restore the tabs from the other window either. I have looked under the History menu, but I don't see any option to restore a previous session there, so I'm guessing that Firefox thinks that it already has restored the previous session when I opened it up again.

So, how can I restore the tabs I had in the other window, with a lot of tabs opened?

Whenever I search something and follow a link, or if I'm on a page and click a link to another site or page, the history in the tab gets overwritten.

I've only noticed it this month and if I'm looking for something quickly its extremely frustrating having to re search with the same parameters over and over or remember to open every search in its own tab.

I've had a hard time searching this issue, I don't know if my terminology is right or if it's just a very niche issue I'm having.

Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Hi, I just lost all of my browser cards (tabs) for no reason. I mean these ones which were always opening together with my browser. I had a lof of very important things there. I don't know how to bring them back. This happened automatically, I didn't do anything, just opened browser, as usual. Please help. Best regards, Robert Korzeniowski.

Help! Every time I scroll over a picture, it opens in a new tab. I don't have to click on the picture or tell Firefox to do something for it to happen. I must have closed 100 today while browsing Facebook! What has changed and how can I stop it please?

Hi. After updating to 95.0.0 closing tabs in Firefox sometimes takes several seconds or requires clicking the X button again. Meanwhile, the X button animation works fine and the pages remain fully responsive. The troubleshoot mode doesn't help.

Hi I know you can just click on a tab and drag it to the left or right to sort out order etc. But I recall in the past, or maybe it was a different browser I'm not sure, but the little down arrow at the top left of the firefox browser that drops down a list of your opened tabs, I recall being able to click on one and move it up and down which is much quicker and easier. Maybe its the bookmarks I'm thinking of that lets you do this. But yes, is there a way to move tabs up and down in that window, or any extentions out there that enable such a feature. Thanks for the help.

I tend to use the following workflow. 1. hit ctrl-t for a new tab and start typing search query into address bar 2. realize i do not need it 3. hit ctrl-w to close the tab

This workflow works great on my old install, on a new laptop this workflow fails to work, ctrl-w now just clears the address bar instead of closing the tab. These are both fedora 35, firefox 95 and it is a profile independent behavior on these installs. Anyone knows what's going on here and how to make new installs actually close the tab on ctrl-w even when address bar is focused?

I found an article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-open-tabs-firefox but I don't see the open tabs icon even when I open many tabs and have more than one Firefox window with tabs. I find this feature in Chrome very helpful and was hoping Firefox would have something comparable or better.

Firefox open tweeter's tabs only in private window, can i so something to fix this and be able to open it even in standard window please ?

im on mac os X 10,9,5 with firefox 78,15,0esr

Firefox version: 95.0.2 (64-bit) OS: macOS 10.15.7

Any way to force all HTML files to open in a new tab rather than a new window? This really could be annoying when you are working on several local HTML files at once :(

sometimes (not always) when i open firefox, the search bar at the top will be red with gray lines running through it. And over in the left hand corner where the lock is will be a robot that says "dev tools". Is this normal and should i be concerned that i have been hacked

I'm using OS Monterey 12.0.1, Firefox 95.0.2. How do I keep the tabs locked in the Firefox browser window? They continue to disappear into the top of the browser and take 5-10 hovers to make them visible.

I want to get google by pressing enter with nothing written in new tab search bar or address bar (how it used to work). Any way to get it back? I know it's not exactly a recent change, but it's been annoying me more lately.

If not that, I'd like to set google for new tab. I don't understand why homepage has option for custom url, but not new tab.
