Can using the scroll wheel in vertical tabs be made an option? I used to use sideberry that had the feature which I loved.

Using Firefox 145.0 (64-bit), "Firefox is up to date" on PC with Windows 11 Pro.
I was so pleased when Firefox's Group Tabs arrived. I often have about 12 tabs open to do Railway research. So I thought, Group Tab, great idea. Save a group of tabs as one tab. Instead of creating a Bookmark Folder and each time opening all bookmarks from said folder, what better way to do than opening one tab. Or so I thought. I also created a "SHIP" tab for my hobby in the shipping industry, so I could have two group tabs that could be collapsed making the tab bar tidier. I saved an closed each group tab then closed down my PC. Next on restarting, Firefox starts up automatically as chosen by me. Both RAIL & SHIP tabs reappeared without me doing anything. Great! However yesterday, I inadvertently opened another Firefox window, forgot it was opened. So when I shut down my PC, I closed the Firefox browser and then discovered the over Firefox window I had opened. Closed it shut down my computer. Of course when I opened my PC today, Firefox started automatically, but with the tab that I had open in the last Firefox window. No problem I thought, I will just open the saved Group Tabs. It was a problem, where are the Group Tabs saved? Could I find the location? NO! I looked in Bookmarks, all the various History lists, even the down arrow to list all tabs. Nothing, the Group Tabs are none existent. I have checked on the "about:config" section for Group Tabs and everything is enabled "true". So where are the Group Tabs saved? I have been with Firefox for around 14 years, often citing it as the best browser. But over the last five years I find myself using Chrome more and more. Chrome has Group Tabs which do not not need the users to save them, they are saved automatically, and are easily found on opening the Chrome browser. Why doesn't Firefox have this?

Open several tabs, in settings, check «ouvrir les fenêtres et onglets précédents», quit firefox.
On startup, Firefox should reopen with the same tabs before shutdown.
Firefox opens with one empty tab. Forcing me to got to «history -> recently closed windows -> restore» everytime I quit Firefox or shutdown the mac.

Is there a way to disable tab groups without going through about:config? Because I can't find it and there really should be...I have no idea how that feature works, I don't want it, but I keep ending up with groups unintentionally. I still don't know how I'm doing it. It's incredibly annoying and apparently incredibly easy to accidentally trigger and I'm sick of losing tab space to these random colored boxes for no apparent reason!
Lost tabs Can i just find a button that reopens all my lost tabs?
To avoid losing my search page (or other), I would like the links to always open in a new tab and not in the current page.

The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.

Every time I accidentally close Firefox I lose all my saved groups on reopening. I can see they are still there but cannot see how to open them. They are such a great innovation. Please make it easier to restore them from previous sessions. Going through a search history and restoring them one by one is hugely time consuming when they are already there and just inaccessible. btw, I tried using scrounger (via troubleshooting) but the "Save List" is greyed out.
Running on Mac OS 15.6.1
Please show how to change the vertical tabs to horizontal tabs. Thank You.

Recently Mint upgraded my FF to v147 - possibly relevant, possibly not. There's no post mentioning anyone having this issue on the Mint forum though.
In my Settings, "Open previous windows and tabs" is definitely enabled, but it doesn't happen. I only get my homepage custom URLs.
I went into troubleshooting mode and FF then behaves.
So I figured the issue must be with an extension - but I disabled all my extensions, and it doesn't help. Only going full troubleshooting mode fixes it.
What do I do next please?

I am pointing to a UX issue that has been introduced by a recent change to the way Firefox on Android displays the list of synced tabs.
Originally, this list was shown with its scroll-position set to the top of the list allowing users to quickly collapse tab-lists from devices, and thus quickly reaching to the tabs from the devices they were interested in. Moreover the earlier design also showed lists of active and inactive tabs on each device separately, which was very helpful.
All of that seems to have been done away with in favour of a new UX which is just a flat list of all tabs on the device, and the scroll-position of this list is set to the bottom of the list.
Hence, now if I need to access the most recent tabs that were accessed on some other device, I have to manually scroll all the way up to the top of the list. I have 4–5 devices and some of them have over 600 tabs. Having to manually scroll through all of them to reach the top is very cumbersome, and arguably bad UX.
Can we please restore the older UX? Thank you.
how can I activate splitview?

Firefox for Android used to have a setting that allowed users to control how long after private browsing is inactive, do all open private tabs close automatically. It used to provide options like 4 hours, 8 hours, never. It was present until a few months ago. My private tabs close automatically now in somewhat random fashion - sometimes minutes after navigating to another app. I also have enough Ram for such a problem not to occur. Can I still control this setting or does it have to be a feature request?
Please just restore my previous tabs from my last firefox use yesterday

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?

PROBLEM: Pinned tabs are useful, but if I have more than one Firefox window open and I close them in the wrong order, the next time I open Firefox, my pinned tabs are gone and I have to pin them again.
SOLUTION: Pinned tabs should be able to be permanent so that they will re-open no matter which Firefox window is closed first. Is there a way to make this work?
