Hi,

I generally have 20~30 tabs open in Firefox. So as of now, if I scroll on the tab bar, 6~7 tabs will move left/right per scroll. I want to modify this number of tab scroll to one per mouse wheel scroll.

I searched for this tweak but did not get any workable solution.

I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (64-bit) on windows 10.

If you have any tweak, pls share.

Thanks ..

In Firefox, pinned tabs are limited to the specific browser window in which they are created. This behavior differs from Safari, where pinned tabs persist across all open windows. When a Firefox window containing pinned tabs is closed, those tabs are permanently removed. This implementation undermines the intended purpose of pinned tabs, which is to provide persistent, easily access to sites regardless of session or window state. Pinned tabs should ideally remain consistent across all browser windows and persist until explicitly unpinned by the user. The current behavior results in a poor user experience and discourages users who expect cross-window and session persistence, functionality that aligns more closely with the concept of “pinning.” I have raised his limitation repeatedly, but it remains unaddressed. A more consistent, user-centric approach would ensure pinned tabs are retained globally until manually dismissed.

Since my Apple iPad was updated to IOS 26.1 (yesterday), I must continually apply a hack anytime I use Firefox to open and read any website.

What happens is once said website is open (for example, a thread in a forum that I have used for years or perhaps a news story (on The Guardian or Globe and Mail)), if I leave that tab for any reason (such as copying a sentence to paste in another open tab), the tab I am going to forces that thread to scroll up to the top of the page…and then returning to the tab that I copied out of, the same thing, the open thread scrolls back up to the top.

I am running the latest software version for Firefox and Apple.

This phenomenon began immediately after I updated my Apple to 26.1 from (IIRC) 18.x.

Thank you

When I click a link either form a web page or from an email I get a whole new window rather than a new tab in the existing Firefox window. This new window is stripped back without the usual menu of options at the top. Is this EDGE taking over my life? I have Firefox as my default browser.

Is there a feature or add-on that will allow me to see all of my tabs, about 60, in a double menu instead of crammed, forcing me to use the horizontal arrows to scroll? I'd prefer to see them all at once and have them accessed immediately.

Looking for help to try and work out what is happening. Over the last few days, after powering up and browsing the internet everything works fine for a while. Main websites are Facebook, YouTube and continually clicking on bookmarked items. Normally only a few tabs are open at any one time. Then after some time, I open a new tab and get the

Gah. Your Tab Just Crashed message appear on the new tab and can not access any websites after this. The Close Tab, Restore Tab, Restore All Tabs do nothing.

I have to reboot the PC and start again.

I'm using the latest version 126.0.1 (64-bit).

  • Tried running in Safe Mode, uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it, reverted back to 126.0 (64-bit) and same issue.
  • I've cleared the cache and history
  • Had Add Blockers, FB Purity and New Tab Override Extensions. Disabled these and still no success.
  • I have AVG driver update installed and its telling me all the drivers are up to date.
  • The problem seemed to start happening after an AVG update, so I have removed AVG Antivirus

The computer is an ASUS Vivobook Laptop, Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @ 1.20GHz 1.19 GHz with 8GB ram.

Hi,

Firefox = 121.0.1 64-bit Win10 = 22H2 (19045.3930)

Not for the first time but the 3rd in the past few months I was closing a tab in Firefox and my PC immediately reset. No warning, just straight to blank screen as soon as I closed a tab (I had 4 open). Next thing I knew it was going through re-boot. No crash report in Firefox.

This last time I had Facebook open, I had a video in Facebook popped-out, it had finished playing and I went to close the FB tab.

Ian.

Hi, why is firefox opening multiple duplicate tabs when I open new tabs?

It is currently saying I have over 3,000 tabs open?! I know I do not have even nearly that many tabs open.

Consequently this is slowing down my online usage

Many thanks :)

Vertical tab flyout doesn't back quick enough

I really do like the new vertical tabs and I have them set to be just icons until you hover the mouse over them and then they fly out and I can read the names of the tabs. My problem is that when I switch a tab or do anything that makes the tabs expand to see their full names if I take the cursor off they fly back in but if I put the cursor on any area of how far the tabs came out to in the next few seconds they come out again even though I haven't put my cursor over the tab icon. This is really annoying for forums and really for general browsing as if I switch to a tab and want to interact with anything where the tabs came out to I have to wait like 5-10 seconds before I can click anything on that part of the page or else the tabs come flying out again. Is there any way to make it so the second my cursor isn't over the tab fly out that they will go back to the compact mode and won't come back out unless I hover over the tab icon again to alleviate this problem? I find I will often switch to a tab and then move my cursor off to the page and the names collapse so there are only icons left but I try to interact with something on the left side of the page and the tabs fly out way before my cursor goes near the tab icon and I have to take my cursor to the right then try going back to interact with that element and most of the time I have to go back and forth a few times before the tabs stop flying out so I can interact with that portion of the left side of the web page. I really like the vertical tabs but I want to be able to edit the time it takes for them to not fly back out if your cursor goes to where they had flown out to immediately, so zero seconds, instead of the 3-10 seconds or whatever it is set at by default.

Thanks!

Hi Windows 11. Every time I open a new tab and make a search I get a field under the bookmarks for my google account. I do not want this. On the web it says I should go to account settings and scroll down to the Linked Accounts section. I cannot find that section. Elsewhere I read that I have to do something in my google account as well. How do I get rid of the field for my google account when searching in firefox, please?

Hi, As far as I know, Firefox hasn't recently updated but somehow my address bar is now below the tabs. I have searched everywhere and can't find a solution. Searching shows that this has been happening repeatedly for years with people having to go as far as adding code to configure it. It has never happened to me until the change appeared randomly today. Am I missing something, or has the option completely (and pointlessly) disappeared? Please point me in the right direction to restore the position of the address bar. Thanks.
