How do I dublicate a tab in the android app as I would in the flatpak/desktop application?

(I do know that I can create a new tab, copy the adress from the old tab, paste it into the adressbar of the new tab and hit enter, but this doesn't keep the "forward/backwards history" as on desktop, and it is really slow.)

I run Window 10 and love session restore in Firefox, as I usually like about 15 of my usual tabs open each session. Though Firefox restores these tabs successfully, it often also restores long-closed tabs that were no longer open during my previous session, sometimes resulting in my having over a hundred tabs open which I have to manually close. How do I stop Firefox from 'restoring' tabs that were no longer open when I last powered-down my computer?

Because I was getting frequent and numerous pop-up boxes asking for my Firefox Primary Password, even though your site claims you no longer use or require one. based on advice from a Cox Complete Care Technician, I set one up. I am still getting as many annoying pop-ups as frequently. Sometimes my primary password entry makes the pop-up disappear. Just as often, my PP entry makes the pop-up pop-off momentarily and come right back on minus my entry with no explanation or rejection message. Why is this happening? What is the point? Please respond. Debora H. Schwartz.

Hello,

I am desperately trying to recover lost tabs from Firefox Browser after 2 crashes, freezing and forced shutdowns. I need the tabs for my work, and as usually happens, this has occurred at a time when I'm running to meet a critical deadline.

I've tried going to history, but the "recently closed tabs" option was greyed out:-( I've tried searching for other solutions, but cannot fine any that fit my situation. I'm not an IT expert - I know my way around what I need to use (i.e. professional worker), so clear & simple explanation would be much appreciated.

Can I recover the lost tabs from backed up data or a previous system image? My system is Windows 7, and I'm currently running Firefox version 115.0.2. All suggestions welcome!

Thanking you in anticipation off prompt assistance, MLH

i had pinned some tabs that i really needed. i finished with firefox and i closed it. when i opened it the next time all my pinned tabs where gone...i don't know what to do i really need them..i signed in again but nothing changed

Hi All,

I keep Google messages for web open in a tab.

Normally I see new messages have arrived because the tab title changes to indicate this.

This feature stopped working a few days ago. I now have to keep switching to that tab to see if there are any new messages.

The equivalent for outlook is still working ok.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

I have a new computer and browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is not working properly when set to "true" on this machine. I've been using Firefox for around 20 years now and never had a problem with this, it always worked as intended, like this: |Tab|Tab|Active Tab|Third New Tab|Second New Tab|First New Tab|Tab|

But now it's working like this, always inserting the new related tabs after the other related tabs, like this: |Tab|Tab|Active Tab|First New Tab|Second New Tab|Third New|Tab|

I searched Google for this bug and found out that a lot of people have this problem too, but haven't found any solutions. What should I do? Thank you in advance for any help, it's really appreciated, this is making my work quite annoying.

I have not been about to open new tabs for a while I guess this is due to upgrade I never realized this until I downloaded Firefox on my chromebook. Is anything that can be done or are we just out of luck now when using Firefox also what happen to the search bar is that gone forever as well. I really liked firefoxbut looks like have to find omitting else that wil work for my needs. Finally, is the menu bar gone as well. Please advise and answer all questions ty

Hey there!

Since the newest update (I think), whenever I select multiple tabs and attempt to open a new one via pressing the middle mouse button (or the MMB together with shift), the new tab opens behind the current open tab instead of the marked tabs.

For example: If I mark two tabs and have the left tab open, pressing the MMB on the + symbol would normally open a new tab to the right of those two tabs. Now, however, it opens the tab inbetween the two selected tabs.

Is there a way to change this back?

When I am finished with a tab and close it, and then close down Firefox app, when I click back into Firefox the tabs that I have closed are still there open. How can I stop this from happening without having to "quit" and clear cache etc all the time? Surely when you close a tab it should stay closed?

I recently had to get a new hard drive for my computer as my old one no longer functioned. The problem is that when I opened my firefox browser I was not prompted to restore my last session and all of my tabs and windows are now gone. Is there a way to reset the browser to a previous date so that I can restore all of my tabs?

Have they ever given us an option to make a tab always open in desktop mode? Yeah, I realize everybody doesn't need it and the average person might not want it but there are enough of us though who do that, it should still be an option, hence the word option.

So if they haven't given us the option, is it possible to make them aware that there should be an option to make tabs open always and desktop mode for those of us who choose to do so? Those of us who are too ignorant to know any better won't be using them in the first place or those who have smart enough to realize that there is the option but chooses not to use it well. Guess what? They'll choose not to use it, but please don't restrict my options because you're trying to cater to those who don't want them. In this case more is better.

How do I remove pocket from Firefox?

The published solution does not work. When I type "about:config" in the URL, then "pocket," and change the "extensions.pocket.enabled" to "false," the pocket page still shows up after I close a session or a screen asking me to sign in to pocket. I am always closing unnecessary pocket related tabs.

As I remember, one time it worked but only for two days and then the some form of the pocket page showed up again.

Restarting Firefox does not change anything. Please advise.

I have to use a payroll app for android that logs in on the default browser, mine being Firefox. After logging in on Firefox, I am redirected to the app. The issue is the tab on Firefox doesn't close, so every time I open Firefox it takes me to the payroll app before I can close the tab or even do anything. Restarting my phone seems to fix the issue, but that's unrealistic to have to do that every time I open an app that logs in through the default browser.

When I pressed the "+" symbol at the right side of my tabs with the left mouse button, a new tab opens at the most right place. So far, so easy.

When I pressed the same "+" symbol using the middle mouse button, the new tab opened right beside the active tab. Now, middle mouse button and left mouse button do the same thing.

Work around could be to open the context menu (right mouse button) of a tab, choose "new tab" an get a new tab right beside the tab chosen with the mouse pointer while pressing the right mouse button.

Did something recently change?

If I have 7 tabs open, I can see the + option in the tab bar. Upon opening an eighth tab, the + disappears and I have to user right-click open tab or ctrl-t.

This is very annoying.
