I'm referring to the reply from Paul here that tried to sell us the useless floating tabs "feature". Now, several years later, there's no sign of any of this, and we still have to deal with the downsides of floating tabs.

Hello!

I am using three web pages all redirecting to the next one in a loop to display information on a TV in our church. It´s usually working fine for a few hours, but then it might happen that one page fails to load and the redirecting thread is lost and the TV is just displaying a white page with a load error message. If I manually reload the page it will start the display loop as intended once more.

I have been trying out one of the tab reload add-ons and it will probably work fine, but it might result in premature reloads or still that the TV will show load error messages for some time before the timer kicks in, depending on how long reload window I choose.

I have been looking all over the Internet but can not find any option to automatically reload a tab or page only when connection to server is lost.

Anyone who has some insights or suggestions about this?

yesterday I updated firexfox to its latest version.

after that, the tabs aren't showing properly anymore.

as I use my computer for work and leisure I usually keep a few separate tabs open, and up until yesterday, when I clicked, or hovered, over the firexfox icon in the taskbar, it would show me a preview of the individual tabs I had open, then to see the windows open in each tab I needed to click on the relevant tab.

since the update yesterday though, when I click, or hover, over the firexfox icon, insted of the tabs, it shows me ALL the window open, in what is now a chaotic and disorganised mess. the tabs are still separate in reality, if I minimase a tab, I can see the other tab open on the screen, but I now don't have access to them anymore as I should normally by the firefox icon, as it only show ALL the window open regardless of tab.

this is an incredibly disturbing problem, expecially when I have to use firefox for my studies and I have serveral research papers and resources open at once, and divived in tabs for ease of navigation.

while I still can access to the individual tabs through 'alt+tab' and scrolling with three fingers on the mousepad, this is still a massive issue that only arised with the update done yesterday.

is there any way to fix this?

thank you kindly in advance.

Currently, my tab preview only show the top of the page, not in the exact position I am currently on in that page! This has made it difficult to track my whereabout!

Can anything be done about this!

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

My fire fox keeps muting all tabs when I have more than 1 tab running with any audio. Discord and any other app with sound can mute everything too. I need to close everything that uses audio and then reload the web page with only that 1 tab open in order for audio to start working again.

Please and thank you~

I'm extremely frustrated with firefox at this point for not being able to do something very simple which google chrome has. I want to organize my tabs into groups so that the next time my tabs close unexpectedly, I can open all of the ones from that group. I naturally organize them right now into windows and I minimize the window if I'm not using the tabs in that window. However, my new laptop cannot handle having more than 3 windows with 5 tabs open at a time. Last week, I was on a video call and firefox closed all of my windows that I had organized my tabs into. Once I was able to reboot firefox, I could not click "restore session" because I needed to get on the video call. Then the "restore session" button was lost. Many of the tabs I haven't touched for a few weeks, even though they were all organized together, I can't find them in my history together because I wasn't using them all on the same day and some of them were sitting unused but on a digital to do list within that window. I've tried every single tab organizer that is "recommended" on the firefox extensions and they all suck. I don't understand why they automatically hide my tab groups and then I can't open them again, I don't understand why I need to duplicate a tab to mark it in a certain container, it just feels like none of these are simple and none of them will do what I want them to. I want to speak to a real person. I need help. I don't think I can use firefox anymore. Why is there no help people here.

Are the following operations possible?

1. open new tabs in the background from history windows without switching window.

2. clicked a history in the history window, do not move the screen to the top.

It is inconvenient that the screen changes and the display position changes after selecting the history.

Sorry for my poor English. Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

Long term issue of losing pinned tabs because I break a tab off the main firefox instance to work on it in a seperate window and then at some stage I close the firefox window that contains the pinned tabs AND AFTER I close the breakout tab and this seems to remember that no pinned tabs ever existed. This behaviour is idiotic and clearly buggy, certainly shouldn't be a feature or normal behaviour.

The pinned tabs feature is advertised as placing permanently some tabs that open for sure at every launch of firefox in a known location to the left - things we use just about everyday (gmail, iCloud, reddit etc), hence their permanence and it seems to be impossible to code something that if NO firefox window is opened then when we launch Firefox we get the default view of our pinned tabs and a fresh page OR default homepage etc.

Seems ridiculous to me. Whats the logic here ? I vote FOR making this a permanent feature.

Hello When I open the main browser and open a number of tabs, then I open the incognito browser, after that I close the main browser and open it again, the pages that were open do not appear Also, I enabled the option - Open previous windows and tabs

A few months ago (maybe for a year?), after a certain update, I found that I cannot create new tabs directly in private window. That is to say, ctrl+T does not work, same for clicking the + button near the tabs or hitting the "new tab" from the drop down list. However, any of the action mentioned above works as expected when it is in a normal window.

I do not have any extension related with tab management, and I really cannot figure out why this is happening, so I was always expecting the next update will fix this issue.

I have many opened cards and sometimes I`d like duplicater the one that is in the middle. When I duplicate the card, the new duplicated card opens at the end of all opened cards. But I`d like to have it as the next to the origin card that is being duplicated. How to fix that ? Thanx for help.

When I scroll through the tabs and I do not wait a bit after the next tab is shown, then often Firefox decides to jump suddenly about 10 tabs. This is really irritating because it requires me every time to search for the tab where I was. I am using Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit) for Windows.

In my opinion this is a design mistake. Fast jumping can be a nice feature but only when the user specifically requests it. For instance by holding down the control key while clicking on the scroll button. Now it makes scrolling actually very slow since you have to wait after the next tab is shown to avoid the large jump.

This issue was raised a few years ago and a solution was mentioned here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1222111

But this solution appears not to work anymore. Is there a working solution to avoid the large jumps?

when i click on a firefox tab it opens in a new window - how do I stop this?

Already tried going about:config and changing 'browser.tabs.allowTabDetach`, and set its value to `false` and it is not working. Advise.
