Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

Used to be able to move a tab into a different window by dragging it there. No longer works (Win 7, FF75 and now 76) despite your help article that says to do just this--so how can I do this? I'm trying to consolidate a bunch of tabs currently in their own windows, into just one window which will hold all the tabs on a related subject.

As long as Firefox has added the containers feature in the last updates, the actual behavior of the new tab button needs to be updated, or at least configurable. If you're in a specific container, new tab opens a no-container tab. I believe this should be the actual container of the active tab, instead of a no-container.

Formerly, one could reorder tabs in a Firefox browser window by clicking and dragging. One could also click and hold a tab and move it to create a new window or take a tab from one window, click and drag it to another window. I am no longer able to do this on my Mac laptop, after updating to Firefox 71. I can't seem to find a special setting in Firefox 71. Is there one or a way to allow tab movement? Or do I need to revert to the previous version of Firefox?

Does anyone know how to disable Firefox from opening two windows when clicking on a link through a mail application? If Firefox is closed, every time I click on a link through a mail application, Firefox opens the link AND a second window set to my homepage. It is so annoying. Any tips?

Is there a way to remove the close button when i only have a single tab open? I constantly click the close button whenever i have a single tab open when i mean to click the new tab button. I dont see the reason why there should be two close buttons (one on the tab, and one on the upper right of the window)

I am trying to restore the tabs from a crashed session. I have successfully done this in the past by renaming the lost session in the sessionstore-backups folder, but this is no longer working for me. I have the session file I need, but even when I rename it, when I reopen firefox it keeps reverting to the most recent session which has none of my tabs. I have tried deleting every file in the sessionstore folder except the one I want firefox to use, but it will not use it; it overwrites it every time with the more recent session. How can I get firefox to load the session file I want? Thanks for your help

Whenever firefox does an update, my pinned tabs vanish from the tab bar on starting. The other home page tabs remain. Is there a fix for this? (The history is not erased - it is still there). Thanks

I have avoided upgrading to the latest Firefox for over a year now because new versions always move the tabs back to the top of the browser window. But this time when Firefox reloaded it upgraded itself and I had no choice. I was a graphic artist for decades, and it makes no sense to have the tabs all the way at the top, because your eye has to jump up to the top, away from the window itself, every time you want to move between tabs. It makes no sense, but so far Firefox has ignored these complaints (I'm not the only one) and has not offered a simple toggle in preferences or somewhere to move the tabs where they should IMO be.

I seem to have lost the instructions to do my own coding to move the damn things, and I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how I can move them back where they belong. And Firefox, PLEASE. People have been requesting this for several years now that I'm aware of, so PLEASE make this simple change and allow users the choice of how their browser windows should look.

hi, i got a new computer and I was customizing Firefox but the one thing I can't figure out is it keeps loading old tab when closed and a new Firefox window was started. My Startup home page is set to a newspaper

I've looked thru options and troubleshooting and can't find something that works. I have unchecked everything under tabs in options. I'm running Windows 10 with all the updates and the latest Firefox.

hi, fixed it by restoring firefox. thanks

update fire fox to its latest version.I have done it over and over I have restarted over and over could you make it more complicated Should i go back to school what do you want me to do

I closed Firefox browser on my computer completely today, when all my tabs were still open. Usually, if I do that and then open Firefox again, it restores all my tabs automatically.

I want to avoid that to prevent other people using my computer from seeing my tabs, but I don't currently have access to my computer, only my phone.

In other words, I want to disable my previously open tabs from opening when Firefox is opened.

Here is what I did: 1. Signed in with Firefox on my phone 2. Synced 3. Deleted history 4. Went to *phone* browser settings and chose not to restore tabs (in settings - advanced).

Would that be enough or is there something else I can do?

Thank you.

Sometimes in recent months when I click on a tab on the Start line to restore it it is instead deleted. I have to use History to get it back. This is annoying and frustrating.

I am using Firefox 76 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and sometimes after I do a system restart or shutdown, the previous session I had disappears . I am using the Tab Group Manager add-on and have the restore previous session option enabled, yet it still happens. Any ideas on how to solve this or if it will be patched?

Thanks,

Milton

Recently, I searched for a subject through Google. The page it found for me said it was a pdf file and asked if I had a pdf reader. I didn't so I clicked on a url to get one. BIG MISTAKE! When it started to open up in a new tab, it started to open up again in another new tab, then another, then another. About every 3/4 of a second.

I went to the Start button to shut the computer off but it didn't stay open long enough to shut it down. Meanwhile, more tabs opened. I closed the Firefox window butt the tabs continued to try to open in that one. I finally opened up Task Manager and shut Firefox down. By this time, there were more than 500 tabs sitting there in Firefox.

Could not find it. This only occurs in Firefox. Edge works with a different pdf reader that I had downloaded but I like Firefox.

Any ideas of how to end this madness?

Thank you Village Idiot

I have installed Firefox and Firefox Beta on MacOS and open them in that order so both are running concurrently; Firefox (not beta!) is selected as the default browser on my computer. Whenever I follow a link from any application that is not a browser, new tabs are opened in Firefox Beta.

If Firefox Beta is not running, tabs open as expected, in Firefox.

My expectation is that tabs would always open in the browser that is set as the default.

Is there any way I can tell the Operating System to open new tabs in Firefox and not in Firefox Beta?

On 77.0.

Noticed that after last update, opening a new tab with audio on the previous tab (such as a YouTube video playing) causes the audio to pause/stutter each time a new tab is opened.

No other changes to this system, and good amount of resources available in each test. Would be great if someone could quickly repro. (I am not discounting a machine-specific cause yet.)

All I'd like to know is how to completely disable the ability of tabs crashing for any reason at all, permanently. I'd very seriously would rather the computer freeze or risk hardware damage, whatever pref(s) listed and unlisted I need to enable or disable I can put in lock file or anything. -Thanks!
