the tab groups feature doesn't work. WHen i drag one tab onto another, nothing happens, other than the tabs go back and forth. Can't put one tab over another and no group is created.

How can I move a tab to an open window? I know there is a function in the pull down menu to open the tab in a new window, but I would like to move the tab to a window that is already open. Google and Brave Chrome have a seamless, easy way on the pull down menu. I use it all the time, but I want to keep Firefox as my default browser. Thanks!

Why won't Firefox open any new windows? I give ir the command to open a window and yet all i get are tabs and I never click on open a tab. I have an HP probook this for windows 10 and i am also having the same problem with Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that did not fix it so it is not that. What would cause this? I have already cleared the cache cookies history browsing etc. and nothing is fixing it. PLEASE HELP.

In early June 2025 I finally ditched Windows 10 for 11 and I've been a Firefox user since practically the very beginning of Mozilla.

Now, I notice that the "Restore Previous Session" button in the drop-down of the FF menu is missing. Additionally, I discovered late in the game that Mozilla DID listen to me and gave us the ability to "name" or "tag" an entire window in the browser. This was a HUGE boon to productivity as I'm constantly toggling from window to window to tab to tab.... Now, with the most recent update this ability seems to have disappeared....

When I click a link I always want it to open in a new tab. How do I do this without doing a right-click and selecting "Open in new tab"?

I want it to open in a new tab when I simply click the left mouse button.

Running FF 138 64-bit on Win 10 Home, and tabs won't combine. When I move one tab over another, I get NO GLOWING RING, and the tabs just swap places as I move the first tab over the second one, no matter how slowly I move them. It doesn't work in Vertical Tabs, either.

I have v138.1 and tab groups are not working. When I try and put one over another to create a group, it just sides away. I read this feature would be available on v137 and up after 5/6/25🤷🏼‍♂️

With vertical tabs and expand on hover, clicking on the X box rarely closes the tab. Sometimes I have success if the pointer is on the left or right line of the box. Not having luck on the center of the box. Has been true for several weeks. With hover off, clicking the X works fine. I am running Windows 11.

The new native tab group feature has an option to "Save and close group", implying that you can restore the group. But doing this, you will find that the group disappears.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone figured out how to restore a saved tab group?

Добрый день. В процессе использования браузера, вкладки самовольно перезагружаются. Играю в браузерную игру и ни с того ни с сего вкладка сама по себе перезагружается, выкидывая меня из игры. Это происходит по непонятным причинам. В настройках я отключил автообновление вкладок (about:config - accessibility.blockautorefresh: - true). Там стояло значение false. Но вкладки все равно обновляются без моего участия. Это происходит на всех моих профилях в Фаерфокс. Как это остановить? Это мешает мне пользоваться браузером и комфортно играть.

Hi!

Previously, all the sites saved in a single container could be accessed via the dropdown arrow to the left of the 'close,' 'minimize,' and 'maximize' buttons. Now, it only shows current tabs, tabs from other devices, close duplicate tabs, and add a tab to one of the containers. But how to open those containers is unclear.

PS I have the latest update 139.0.1

Why does firefox insist on opening hot links in the same window?

No matter what I change in the Settings all of the hot links keep opening in the same window.

I did not ask for tab grouping. I do not want tab grouping. And then when browser grouped tabs without my requesting it to; and would NOT allow me a way to un-group them, providing only the option to "delete tab group", which when exercised deleted all the tabs, not just the group! Now, I don't f-ing want firefox anymore! Why act like microsoft and shove features down our throat without explanation or option to chose or not chose?

How do I get Firefox to show page information when hovering over a tab on the Firefox tab bar? It did this until one of the recent updates and now that doesn't work and I can't find anything in settings to control this feature.

Description: I would like to request the addition of a "Go to Last Used Tab" shortcut, also commonly referred to as a "Recall" feature. This functionality is extremely useful for quickly switching between the last two active tabs without needing to cycle through all open tabs.

Currently, I use Ctrl+Tab to cycle through tabs in order and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle in reverse order. While this works, it is not ideal for scenarios where I frequently need to switch between two specific tabs (e.g., tab #25 for monitoring the progress of a web app and tab #129 for working on an email). In such cases, having a dedicated shortcut to jump directly to the last used tab would significantly improve productivity and usability.

Proposed Solution: Add a new keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Backtick or a user-configurable option) that allows users to instantly switch to the last used tab.

Benefits:

   Reduces the need to manually cycle through tabs, saving time.
   Enhances workflow efficiency when multitasking across multiple tabs.
   Aligns Firefox with features available in other modern browsers.
    

Use Case Example:

   I’m actively working on a task in tab #129 (e.g., writing an email).
   I periodically check the progress of a web app in tab #25.
   Instead of cycling through tabs using Ctrl+Tab or searching for the desired tab, I could simply press a "Recall" shortcut to toggle between these two tabs instantly.
    

This feature would greatly enhance the user experience, especially for power users who frequently switch between tabs.
