I cannot consistently show an image preview when I hover over a tab, even though I have that function box checked in my general/settings page.

I am using Firefox 136.0 on a Macbook running Sonoma 14.5 & on a MacMini running Sequoia 15.3.1. When doing a search using the Google search engine in Firefox if I click on a result it no longer opens in a new tab, instead it just opens it in the same tab. If I right click on the result & select "Open in a new tab" it does. I experimented with using Yahoo search engine (which I hate) & new results still open in a new tab. I assume others are experiencing this problem when using Google search with Firefox since it is happening on both my Macbook & my MacMini. Anybody know if this a settings issue or is there a problem with the software?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

现在的版本是136.0.1 之前鼠标悬停到标签页，会出现关闭的x按钮，这样无需切换标签页就可以关闭想要关闭的页面。 现在鼠标悬停标签页，关闭按钮也不会出现了，必须把这个标签页切换为当前页面才能关掉。 请问这个问题怎么解决？ （firefox的历次更新，似乎一直在去掉用户喜欢的，习惯的功能与特性，一直在自以为是的为用户制造麻烦，这个软件的衰落是必然的） The current version is 136.0.1 Previously hovering the mouse over a tab would bring up the close x button so that the page you wanted to close could be closed without switching tabs. Now when I hover over a tab, the close button doesn't appear either, and I have to switch this tab to the current page to close it. How to solve this problem? (The successive updates of firefox seem to have been removing the functions and features that users like and are used to, and have been making trouble for users, the decline of this software is inevitable.)

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Before I update, I often enter a url/paste a url in the current page and hit command + Enter and the page always open in a new tab.

Now I found that it sometimes open in a new tab, sometimes don't. Instead, if I do option+Enter it does open in a new tab every time.

This is a bit annoying because command + Enter has built into my muscle memory. Is this an expected behavior change and would I be able to configure it?

I am a developer.I want to know the source code location in Firefox that reject tracker cookies and the code location for obtaining the tracking protection list after installation

I use a lot of containers (love this extension!) and have an improvement suggestion.

It would be helpful if the entire tab was colored, rather than just the little line at the top. I have a hard time seeing the line and distinguishing between similar colors.

For context, I have to log into multiple email and website accounts for work. The tab descriptions are often the same (for example, I'll have 3 or 4 google accounts open and they all say "Gmail" or "Admin console") so I have to click on each to find the right one since the colored line is hard for me to see.

I love using the sidebar button (not the permanent vertical sidebar, but the button in the main toolbar that pops up a sidebar when I want it).

However, I want it to default to Synced Tabs, but it always defaults to Bookmarks whenever I restart Firefox. I already have a bookmarks toolbar, and don't need them in the sidebar.

Is there a setting somewhere that would let me set the default to Synced Tabs?

I have 8 pinned tabs in sidebar...but only 6 show at a time... What's the setting to show all pinned tabs? Can I expand the space? (Thank you.....this is my favorite browser!)

I do not speak or understand firefox program. So explaining why I continually have to fight with this program is ridiculous if you don't speak and use the language I USE AS A CUSTOMER in simple terms. I should not have to access upper people and pay money to configure my computer I paid money for already and Firesux continually ruins. I need simple terms to stop my pages from jumping behind what ever that stupid thing is that hides them. I hate that I lose so much passwords and simple processes after every gd update or whim of the programMers. This is wasting time I do not have. AGAIN!

I am recently having problems with Firefox not opening my tabs when I log into my computer. I can get them back by using history but it's fiddly and not all of them appear (and often not the most recent ones.) Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how to rectify this. I am also having problems with Onedrive which started at the same time. I am not sure if the two things are connected or not.

Now i installed an app with shortcuts to youtube and netflix for easy use now whenever i press either of them they open a new firefox windows with none of my info no firefox account logged in nothing like a fresh install and it is also that when that window is opened and i open another shortcut then another windows isnt opened and just a new tab is opened in the fresh install windows

This is a new installation of Firefox. (Thank you, BTW). Whenever I try to open a new tab, a whole new window opens. It's making me crazy :-( In settings, I have this option checked: "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" But new windows are still opening. Thanks for your help!

In the Firefox View tab, we can search for Open Tabs. I am wondering how I can make a strict search for a particular pattern. For example, let's say I have hundreds of tab open for youtube like below:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=<random> https://youtube.com/watch?v=<random> https://youtube.com/watch?v=<random> https://youtube.com <---------------------I want this one to appear in my search

how can I ONLY search for open tabs that is the youtube front page (i.e to not match anything after the ".com"). If I just search for "youtube.com", it will match all of them, but I only want the front page.

Then, i can quickly close all of the duplicate
