If I have a window open and open a new window without remembering to ask for a new window it overwrites the existing window. How to make it automatically open a new window?

This behaviour change happend a while ago and has just now bothered me enough to write up a bug about it.

If I have a tab open, navigation bar at the top, I edit the text of the bar and change it to a different URL and hit enter. The current tab I am on is put in the background and a new tab opens for the website I went to. I now have infinite tabs open because they used to close naturally and my back button worked normally and now I have just weird tabs.

Also there is no rhyme or reason to the order of my tabs, they used to be chronological, but now I edit a URL and it might take me to the tab from a month ago with it open and then every tab after that is in the middle of a hundred tabs from a month ago.

I wish that you would properly complete the changelog for android updates as well as this change in behaviour has taken me from someone who has manageable 10 tabs to a chaotic million that I never close, but won't enable automatic closing of old tabs (which I think was added when this change happened) because I have legitimate tabs open that I want to not be closed. It is just a real suck fest to get to them now since I have so many stupid ones from just editing the URL.

TL;DR I want to have android Firefox work like every other browser on the planet when I edit the URL I want to navigate away from the page. When I search I want to navigate away from the page. You took that away and the browser has been worse because of that.

I realized today that my tab groups were all gone and I believe it is because I erased all of my search history about a week ago. Unfortunately I did not realize that clearing my search history would irrecoverably delete my tab groups, and I think it would not be intuitive for many other people either.

Ideally I would like to see a specific option to keep or erase tab groups when clearing search history but in the absence of that I think at least having a warning that you will lose your tab groups if you follow through would be very nice.

Please can you (a) add to menus, or create a button, so users can see the tab groups they have created and (b) prevent upgrades to Firefox from deleting a user's tab groups.

For about 10 days now the automatic tab reloader on Firefox doesn't work, it simply doesn't reload the tab. My up to date Firefox runs on the up to date Windows 11.

When I restart Firefox on my PC, many tabs in at least one window will be moved from their position. Usually to the end of open tabs within that window. I've been dealing with this for years and never heard a response from anyone else. It is very annoying as many of my tabs are set up in a sequence. I have to find the first one, manually select them all, and then use the command to move them to the start of the window.

I am trying again to see who else has experienced this problem and if there are solutions for it.

Hello, I went from being able to reopen Mozilla and have all tabs open. This stopped happening a couple of days ago. I do not have the restore previous session as was suggested to try when I searched this topic. I went into manage history, import and backup, restore, then selected the most recent date available. At first it didn't seem to work and I started searching through history to reopen tabs one by one. I left my computer (still running) came back and all my tabs had miraculously reappeared. I checked my settings to make sure nothing had changed. It hadn't - still set to reopen tabs when opening Mozilla. Closed the laptop last night, This morning - no tabs!!! I have a lot of tabs, and groups of tabs, with info I need. How do I recover these tabs and stop this from happening again? Thank you.

I started using a tab group to organize my tabs and save it. I was able to open it from the overflow menu before but now there is no trace of it there. Surely there is a way to see the history of tab groups and recover it right...

I've noticed for awhile that when exiting Firefox (currently 150.0.3) open tabs no longer close. When I re-enter Firefox (new start) I no longer get my home page. I've tried all key combination of exiting as well as the X. I searched this community and WWWeb and found nothing usefull.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Rodney

Hello! I really liked the vertical tab panel management before, if I wanted it to disappear I've pressed ctrl + alt + z and if I wanted it to show only icons of the websites - I could press ctrl + alt + x twice and had the mini version of it. For some reason, now it's gone, when I press ctrl + alt + x twice the panel is gone completely. Could you help out here? Essentially, I want to be able to make it look like that (screenshot attached), only without the AI Assistant.

Perhaps I have missed a setting somewhere - while I like the concept of pinning tabs, I use the side bar to display my open tabs. If I choose to pin a tab, that tab is pinned to the top. Great. However, if I wish to pin 10 tabs, for example, they are all pinned in a single row. What I would like to be able to do is to stack them, maybe 3 per row, then have the 4th, 5th , and 6th form a second row. Is this possible?

All my Tabs Group have disappeared from the Tab Bar. I can see the Closed Tab Groups in the drop down but i can't find a way to re-open Closed Tab Groups. Any clues welcome. Running 146.0 and on the beta update channel.

When a I visit a website and need to get a security code, when I return to the page it has disappeared, so I’m not able to add the six digit number into the website to gain access. Thanks.

When will "Firefox for Android" have grouped tabs?

NB: Grouped tabs add a better accessibility, arranged usage, speed, design & yet more...

Firefox deleted older open tabs on my samsung phoone and my ipad. This was really gutting as these were open for a reason. I was not logged into either instance as I wanted to preserve my privacy as best as possible.
