Is there a way to hide the top tab bar while I am using the Tree Style Tab option? I love the new option for using the Tree Style Tabs to my left, but it seems redundant to have the tabs on my left while also having them across the top. It clutters my window with too much text and I would love to see a cleaner window with just my bookmarks across the top and the tabs to my left. I can't seem to find a setting for that. Does one exist?

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?

I'd like to try enabling Tab Groups in Firefox 135.0 (64-bit). But I don't want to risk scrambling my gazillion or so tabs if Tab Groups is not stable.

I'd appreciate some feedback from Firefox users who have enabled Tab Groups.

I'm running Windows 10 version 22H2

Please make vertical tabs better

(btw my browser is Firefox Nightly) Don't get me wrong, I love having vertical tabs. It's less busy than the horizontal tabs and I can look through my tabs more quickly. But, the way it's implemented sucks - It makes the layout of the webpage pop anytime I use it; there is no keyboard button attached to opening and closing the tab (I have to go through my horizontal bar to open my vertical bar); and recently my browser forgets the sidebar settings, meaning I have to re-check the "Hide tabs and sidebar" setting.

Bonus request Can the sidebar just go over the webpage (i.e. like the application menu) instead of squishing it? I'm ok with having some webpage features temporarily covered if it means I don't have to see the screen pop into a new rectangular shape every time I switch tabs.

I use private browsing as my default and really only open regular tabs when I want to save something for a long time. My private tabs often close on their own at random times when I'm tabbed out with the Firefox app open in the background. If it happened every time I tabbed out or once a day or something I would assume it's a feature, but recently my tabs went about a week without closing and since then they've been closing when I'm tabbed out for 20 minutes. What's happening?

I recently updated to Firefox 135.0 on MacBook Pro, Catalina, OS 10.15.7 In the past, with multiple Firefox windows open & multiple tabs open in each, when restarting, "reopen pages on startup" selected, system loaded & ready to go, I'd find all windows, tabs & history available upon launching Firefox. Since update to 135.0, shut down & restart, launch Firefox and I find a single blank new window, no multiple windows, no tabs, no history. I've tried to find [Settings] to make everything come back - no joy, to no avail. Suggestions? Help? Thanks, JS

Firefox has a feature where, if you select a tab and drag your cursor downwards while still pressing down on it, it will open that tab in a new window. Is there any way to disable this? I am frequently opening tabs in new windows when I'm just trying to view them and it drives me mad. I never use this feature intentionally- I am constantly using on accident due to quickly moving my cursor away from the tab bar to view the tab I just opened. Thank you.

The help on this is either dated or just flat wrong. The image does not show iPasOS 18.3’s multi-window support.

Would work with an update to an image for the look of the multiwindows support on recent versions of iPadOS **IF** you do not already have a second FireFox window open. If you do, splitting the screen and the clicking on the FireFox icon merely opens that second, existing, FireFox window

The only way that I can get a new window is to use an external keyboard to type Command N
