There should be a restore pages feature in Firefox. Whenever user quits currently opened various tabs by mistake by closing button of the app at once, then whenever user reopens firefox there should be an option to restore pages so that the user can restore the web pages that user was browsing.

This is a feature idea I had. I hope someone who works on UI design considers it.

1 - Persistent groups

I use vertical tabs, and I like the idea of tab groups, but I never use them because I don't want them to be ephemeral. As a user, if I'm going to be spending time organizing things with this feature, having tab groups disappear after closing all tabs makes me fee like I've wasted my time engaging with the feature. Tab groups have to persist until users manually delete the group. I'd like for groups to persist even if they have no tabs in them. They are categories with a name in which I would like to organize my browsing, but I'm not going to waste time organizing if I'm going to lose everything by closing tabs.

2 - Auto-grouping new & existing tabs by host name (excluding pinned tabs)

When creating a group, I would like a toggle in the group options ui (where you pick the color and name), to make the group a catch all for any tab opened with the same host name (it would auto-add new tabs with the same host, or existing ones at group creation time). As a matter of fact, when creating a tab group by dragging a single tab over another single tab, when both have the same host name, they should auto toggle on the filtering by host name.

I think this feature would get more use with either of the above changes

In Firefox for Android, when I move the app to the background and then to the forground, the browser looses the last website it was in, and reloads it.

My phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 13, RAM 8 GB, Memory 256 GB, CPU Snapdragon 685

    Octa-core Max 2.80 GHz

OS version 2.0.211.0.VNHMIXM, Android version 15.AQ3A.240829.003, Model 23124RA7EO, Firefox version 159.0.1

Hi, I have been using Firefox a lot in the past, mostly on macOS, without too much of a problem. A couple of years ago converted to chrome-based browser, not entirely sure, but I think it was mainly due to a couple of chrome add-ons that at that time I could not find a Firefox equivalent for.

I recently switched back to primarily using Firefox, mainly because it more lenient on my older cpu's. (less puffing and panting and fans spinning up)

Question: I would say I'm a fairly from left to right person in the sense that I expect new tabs to appear to the right. I have recently been struggling with Firefox: - mainly: when I e.g. want to drag out a tab to a new window, or use right-click on a tab, then "Move tab to new window", what often happens is that that specific tab, while moving, takes 5 other tabs with it - how can I disable or change this behaviour? - I have also experienced quite some times, e.g. I have several FF windows, working in one of them, and doing cmd-t to open a new tag, then the new tag opens, but jumps to some weird location, all be it in that same window, but definitely not to the right of the tab where the command was issued from.

I have the followin add-ons installed: - Detach Tab - Move Tab to new window and quite a couple of other that I guess are not tab related.

Thanks for helping out!

I just need to find my grouped tabs while using verticle tab mode...

Normally when the tabs are horizontal there is a drop down arrow.

Switch it to verticle, andf no matter where any AI has told me to click and look for them the answers have been wrong, and when searching the support center directed me to a bunch of useless articles, the top one was literally "Use AI group naming for your tabs" or w/e.

Please tell me this is a thing, or honestly Ill go back to Chrome. They've got everything on me by now anyways.

In the most recent update, when I switch into the tab viewer, several times I have had tabs close as I tried to scroll through the list. It seems that a slight left or right motion intiates a left or right swipe action, and this has had a tab closing functionality added. I do not want to accidentally close tabs while scrolling through them. I do not want a left or right swipe to close tabs. How do I disable this?

If I right click on a link or anything that is clickable, I can no longer press "T" and open that link in a new tab. Is there a way to change that? That hotkey capability is gone.

I have 2 or 3 dedicated groups of tabs: email, work, and shopping. Each contains about 3-4 sub-tabs (or whatever the preferred terminology is). When I closed the browser on Friday, everything was normal. Imagine my surprise to start up Firefox this morning only to discover that NONE of the tab groups exist anymore. And of the 12-15 tabs total that should have been open (and have been every single time I've logged into Firefox for the past few months), only 2 were open. What happened? Is there a way to make my preferred setting actually stick? I do not want to go through this every single day.

Firefox should open a New Tab using the last used container. It's intuitive and also useful for other reasons: When I click on a link in another app, it opens Firefox in the default container. Otherwise it's hard to "login with another container other than the default"
