dear sir/ mam:

like in safari, i had pinned the websites (as tabs) i visit regularly.

when i restarted the browser, all tabs were gone.

i have been using this feature in safari since a decade and no pinned tabs have been lost.

please guide.

All of a sudden Firefox stopped reloading my previous tabs when I start Firefox (whether or not it is set to open automatically on start up). I have ensured the relevant boxes are ticked and I have even reinstalled Firefox altogether - and all to no avail.

I am using Firefox on a W11 64 bit desktop. I have used it for years and have never had this problem before.

I have vertical tabs enabled and the "expand when hovering mouse" option is activated (see screenshot). However, the latter functionality tends to glitch at some point in basically every session. I can't tell if a specific action triggers it, so far it seems pretty random. The glitch is that either the tabs are expanded and won't collapse, or the opposite: they're collapsed and refuse to expand when I point at them. Is this feature maybe still experimental? or something? I'm running Firefox 149.0b5 DEveloper Edition on Garuda Linux (Arch based).

The tabs and groups do not show up in the History or the Recent tab groups areas. The recently closed windows button is grayed out. and the recovery files from; sessionstore-backups do not contain the tabs. How do i get them back?

Can someone describe to me how you can open multiple tabs from the Browser starting page? All I see is the top search bar which takes me to Google. But what do I do if I wanna do another search in another tab? Most other browsers simply have a clearly visible button to open another tab but I can‘t find it on Firefox Focus. Online it says there‘s supposed to be a + in the top right corner but it isn‘t there on the picture below and it also doesn‘t appear once I do a search.

In Firefox Android, there's an option to automatically close tabs after one day, one week or one month.

I'd like to set it to 1 or 2 hours.

Is it possible? Maybe through about:config menu?

Thanks.

Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

I open firefox and open two or three tabs. Than I check task manager, because my computer is running warm and I find firefox has opened 12 to 20 tabs. I have tried every suggested fix for this problem with no resolution. Can you provide a fix for this problem. I have the same problem on my Lenovo laptop as well.

Hello. I'm using vertical tabs in Firefox, but the previews are displayed and are getting in the way. I've checked the settings, and there are options for "Show preview image when hovering over tab" and "Show tab previews in taskbar," but... Is there no way to hide them in vertical tabs? Firefox 149.0 64-bit

When I open Firefox, all my bookmarked sites start loading at the same time. I have unchecked, the "Startup Open previous windows and tabs" option in General Settings. I also deleted, and added Firefox again, but all sites are still loading on opening Firefox. (Chrome browser is fine.) Any ideas? Thanks!

In the tab page, or whatever you call it, on the android app, I believe before I could swipe between private, sync, and normal tabs. Now with this new update, it seems I have to shimmy my phone so I can reach the three buttons at the top. Don't remember having to do that before. Is there any way to turn swipe controls on? Or at least move the buttons down to the bottom of the screen? Thank you

I tried unchecking and rechecking all start settings. When I close Firefox, it asks if I want to close all tabs - the only option is to cancel, leaving Firefox open, or Yes, which would close all my tabs and not reopen the tabs on startup.

My recent history is also missing.

I upgraded to a new Surface Pro 12 and now when I launch Firefox it won't open my previous tabs and windows even though I've checked the box "open the previous windows and tabs" under the General/Start Setup. On my previous Surface Pro 3, I never had an issue with this. Am I doing something wrong..? Also when I click on the time in the lower right task bar, it would open the time plus a calendar. Now with the Pro 12 I get the time and a notifications window and no calendar. Is there a way to change Firefox to the way it was on my old Pro 3..?

When I click a Google search result link and that link is for lets say a home Depot product, firefox android opens a tab then opens the app. This causes a ton of useless redirect tabs to be left open. I want the apps to open when clicking search results if there is a app to do so. But I don't want the tabs to be left open in Firefox. I've switch to Samsung browser and this doesn't happen. I click the link, the browser makes a tab, then the app opens, then the tab closes. Which is ideal. I've searched and searched and can't seem to figure this out.

This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

Odd behavior of tabs, including the following:

1. While trying to access content on a page in an open tab, an existing tab inserts itself in the first tab (left-most) position

2. While trying to download a standard pdf file the save windows opens but does so on top of another, irrelevant tab.

This happened also in Troubleshooting Mode. It happened today for the first time, but it's not happening all the time. Just every so often.

None of this happened in the version prior to 149 (ver. 148.xx)!

I'm using Tab Reloader, and have been using it without a problem for a long time.

Would greatly appreciate your advice!
