This night be a question for Samsung.

I am testing some Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phones. I used Smart Switch to migrate from my S10 to a Flip 3. Firefox was entirely mirror copied. Even the phone name on Firefox was copied and it was logged into my Firefox account on the Flip 3. All open tabs were on the Flip 3, even inactive tabs. A mirror copy.

I did this again from the Flip 3 to a Flip 4. Same result. Then repeated that to another Flip 4, (being the same model I thought this would be no problem) but all I have is a fresh install of Firefox. Account login, tabs, nothing was copied. I've repeated this process using Smart Switch about 6 times now trying a few things like ensuring Firefox is removed on the destination, updating the destination OS etc.

Is there a better option? Is there something in a newer version of Firefox that prevents Smart Switch from copying the current cached files and this state?

Thank you.

Hello I find it hard to select the tabs, the cursor has to be just in the right narrow area for selection, which is just under the tab name's text. Same for selecting the "X" to close the tab, the cursor has to be just under the X for selection, anywhere else does not work. Thanks much Daniel


/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as 10.10.5 is macOS Yosemite.

If you type "% [search term]" in your search bar, it will try to search your existing tabs for any tabs that fit the criteria. The problem is, firefox is making odd decisions on what to display in the search results. I was under the impression that Firefox would prioritize the most frequently used tabs in the search results, but this no longer appears to be true, or the criteria used is more complex than that.

As an example, in the attached screenshot, i am searching for tabs with the keyword "Stellaris". But for some reason, Firefox refuses to show me any reddit tabs with "Stellaris" in them, and is instead showing a list of tabs that are much less frequently used.

Is there any way to get the search results to prioritize the most frequently used tabs, change what shows up in the search results, etc? I know i can type "stellaris reddit" to narrow down the search results, but i would prefer that the search results prioritize the msot frequently used tabs.

Using Firefox 115.7 ESR btw.

Hi Firefox Team,

I'm writing to report an issue I'm experiencing with the Firefox iOS app on my iPad (iPad 8th gen). I'm currently unable to pin any tabs, which is a feature I heavily rely on and find very useful.

When I tap and hold a tab, I expect to see a context menu with the option "Pin Tab". Selecting this option should make the tab permanently visible on the left side of the tab bar.

No "Pin Tab" option appears, and the tab remains unpinned. I've tried restarting the app and updating to the latest version, but the issue persists.

This inability to pin tabs significantly impacts my workflow and browsing experience. I use pinned tabs to keep important websites readily accessible, and their absence makes it inconvenient to switch between them.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide a fix. Pinning tabs is an essential feature for me, and its absence significantly hinders my browsing experience.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

Satyam

Hello everyone,

I got a new laptop and decided not to use Google or Edge or.... But since I stalled Firefox I just have problems . Yesterday no tab would connect to the internet....today email links don't open in a new tab. And when I decide to exit and close Firefox and I open Firefox again I automatically see all the previous tabs. Even though I exited before. It should ask me if I want to restore my previous session, right? But it doesn't.

I am not computer savvy and reading articles is not helping me bc I only understand half of what you guys are talking about.

I really need help or I have to uninstall and go again with Google which I don't want.

Thank you very much

I’m switching from chrome and there whenever I view all my tabs I can see the website title and a little preview but on firefox it only shows me the url and favicon. When I have just left a tab, it shows the correct preview but if I don’t click on the tab, I can’t see it. I have a lot of tabs open and I can’t see what they all are which is very confusing. Closing tabs is NOT an option since I keep open tabs because of memory issues.

As said in title. I like to drag links/youtube videos to new tabs instead of right clicking/middle click. The problem with this is that these tabs autoplay after a short amount of time without me switching to them, whereas right click/middle click do not (since I have autoplay on unfocused tabs blocked). This problem persists in troubleshoot mode.

I have tried the site-specific autoplay permissions, but I still want to keep the 'switching focus to new tab autoplays content', and I do not want to have to press play if I use firefox's site-specific blocked autoplay.
