I use tab groups actively and would save much of my work in my ever-growing list of tab groups. I saw today that many of them had disappeared. I wasn't signed into Firefox and nor do I have any different profiles made. I see two tab groups that I made yesterday but none from before that. How could this happen? How do I recover so much of the work I had saved up?

It’s not every link… sometimes it feels like it just turns on suddenly which will get me by surprise because it’ll open past the tab i have open so you cant see it. Until i go up to my tabs and scroll over. The number of tabs i have open just says infinity. I am using iOS ipad version. i just looked in setting and couldn’t find anything that was open a new tab every link. I know this must be some setting somewhere but when you have over 600 tabs open and I attempt to close some of them its driving me insane…

Device: Poco X3 Pro System Information: RAM: 6 GB + 5 GB extended RAM Kernel Version: 4.14.18 OS Version: MIUI 14 14.0.6

Issue Description: When I switch away from Firefox Mobile and return after even 1 second, the currently opened webpage refreshes every time.

Actual Behavior: Every time I leave Firefox briefly and come back, the webpage reloads.

Additional Notes: The phone is capable of keeping heavier apps in background. I am able to run PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile at the same time without background issues, but Firefox still reloads tabs aggressively.

Troubleshooting Already Done: 1. Disabled battery optimization for Firefox 2. Enabled Firefox as locked app in recent apps 3. Disabled phantom process killer 4. Reinstalled Firefox

All of a sudden Firefox stopped reloading my previous tabs when I start Firefox (whether or not it is set to open automatically on start up). I have ensured the relevant boxes are ticked and I have even reinstalled Firefox altogether - and all to no avail.

I am using Firefox on a W11 64 bit desktop. I have used it for years and have never had this problem before.

SCENARIO: One or more tabs are currently open and the user wants to open a new one.

CURRENT BEHAVIOUR: It seems that a user can only open a new tab by long pressing on a random link found on an open tab/web page and choosing "Open link in private tab" from the pop up menu.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: A user should be able to open a new tab from the expanded tab count pop up next to the address bar, perhaps above/below "Close other tabs". The tab count should be displayed even when there's only just one tab open; in this case the "Close other tabs" option should not be displayed.

In previous versions of Firefox for Android, there was a button in the tab management screen that allowed a user to copy/share the URLs of all open tabs.

As of V148.0.2, that button no longer exists, and I don't see a way to copy all tabs to clipboard (without selecting each tab individually, which is unreasonable with any large number of tabs).

Is there a way to copy the URL of all tabs in this new version?
