hallo zusammen wo finde ich in firefox eine funktion, die mir die zuletzt angesehen und geöffneten tabs wieder herstellt?😐

in den einstellungen ist "Vorherige Fenster und tabs öffnen" angehakt.

es kommt aber wiederholt nach updates dazu, dass die letzten fenster und tabs nicht wieder geöffnet werden, sondern nur 1 tab mit der festgelegten startseite.🤷‍♂

muss ich mich damit abfinden, dass die letzten tabs hin und wieder im nirwana verschwinden? oder gibt es auch dafür einen tipp für laien?🙏

Hello! I wanted to see if there was a way to have sent tabs be automatically opened on Firefox mobile. Searching "Automatically open sent tabs on Firefox mobile" gives help guides on syncing and not how to automatically open links sent through the feature.

Instead of having to open any number of notifications I would much prefer the tabs automatically populating the tabs browser. I currently send from PC/iOS-mobile to Android-mobile but will be switching to a second iOS-mobile device soon.

Thank you

I found the tab groups more annoying than useful, so I went into about:studies and removed it, but doing so just makes a study entirely disappear with no way to bring it back if you misclicked, so that made me wonder, is removing studies permanent? Is it impossible to opt back in once you've opted out of a particular study?

I'm not particularly regretting my choice in this case, but it made me nervous how easy it would be to lose access to a feature just by accidentally clicking the wrong thing.

I love having the ability to group some of my tabs but I'm wondering if it's possible to create "subgroups" of tabs inside of a "group". For instance, it would be very confusing & even chaotic to have one tab group named "Computers" that has tabs for sites where I buy computers/parts/software, sites where I go to for support for my hardware/software issues, & sites where where I can read reviews about the up & coming new hardware/software. However, the chaos would go away if I could have 3 tab subgroups (Shopping, Support, & News) UNDER a "top level" tab named "Computers".

From what I've been able to find on the Firefox website, this capability is not yet available but I'm wondering if it's something that's currently in development. If not, I would like to suggest that it be seriously considered. I realize that some people could take this kind of capability to the extreme, with hundreds of tabs organized using multiple "sub-tiers" & trying to develop something to support the extreme cases would be a nightmare. However, the ability to even two levels (groups & 1 level of subgroups) would be a HUGE improvement over the current situation.

I updated Firefox this morning to 139.0.4 on my Mac and now the '+' sign to add a new tab no longer appears on the tab bar. I can still add new tabs with Command T however.

Any suggestions on how to restore the '+' sign?

Thanks Dan

Hi!

Previously, all the sites saved in a single container could be accessed via the dropdown arrow to the left of the 'close,' 'minimize,' and 'maximize' buttons. Now, it only shows current tabs, tabs from other devices, close duplicate tabs, and add a tab to one of the containers. But how to open those containers is unclear.

PS I have the latest update 139.0.1

I am running Nightly 141.0a1 on macOS 15.5 When I two finger tap on a thumbnail image I see the first option is "open link in new tab" and when I choose it, it does as it says and opens a new tab, at the link, in the background. When I need to do this many times, to save a couple of taps, if I Command single finger tap on the thumbnail then on most sites that same thing happens. My problem is that on some sites this doesn't work. What I get is the link opens in the current tab and a new tab is opened in the background but it shows Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost.

Is this the particular site messing with Command click or is there a setting I can set that fixes this?

Thanks

Open previous windows and tabs stopped working. I have gone to settings and made sure the option was selected, which it was, so I proceeded to refresh Firefox, no difference. I deleted Firefox completely and download it, then reinstalled it again. Still not working. How can I fix it?

Recently I've noted that tabs on my browser move from where I had them all the way to the far right end of the tabs list, and it happens at random. There'll be times when I click on another tab while listening to music or a video on another only to find the tab I was listening to had moved when I go to click back on it. Without fail, I've found these tabs at the far right end of the set of tabs, and I need to know how to put a stop to this. It's inconvenient, and annoying in extreme. This has to be due to a recent update, because up til a couple months ago, this didn't happen at all. If there's a setting that I can change in about:config, I would like to know about it, because you can bet I'll disable this feature.

i can't find the setting to have Firefox open a new tab when a site is selected from bookmarks. It is opening the bookmark site in the tab that the user is on at the time of opening bookmark site, thus overlaying the current site (tab). Thank you.

Maybe it is my spiritual guides because i obsses and have OCD and have too many tabs. But i started having tabs get deleted and i have no tabs on re-launch, tried to check, re-check this. I Am not sure if to reinstall because i don't want to lose passwords or setting/history (i don't remember now it should be saved) but usually reinstalling doesn't solve anything for me anyways...

I didn't install any new extensions when it started happening!

It doesn't happen every time so it is hard to troubleshoot, i cannot use browser with safe mode. I might test it couple times.

I have a strange problem and cannot find any reason for it.

On two different machines (with the same Firefox account, same extensions) I'm using tab groups, also in multiple windows (restoring them after launching Firefox).

In one installation I can close all tab groups without any problem.

In the other if it's the last open group, trying to close it (by clicking its header) opens a new, empty tab instead.

I'm pretty sure the settings of both installations differ but I cannot find any setting that would cause this behavior. It's especially annoying because with many open tabs I have to scroll through all to find the group I want to open instead, open it, scroll back to the other group header and close it.

Any pointers on where to start looking?

Why won't Firefox open any new windows? I give ir the command to open a window and yet all i get are tabs and I never click on open a tab. I have an HP probook this for windows 10 and i am also having the same problem with Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that did not fix it so it is not that. What would cause this? I have already cleared the cache cookies history browsing etc. and nothing is fixing it. PLEASE HELP.

Every time I try to close a window with a single tab, it notifies me that I'm about to close 2 tabs while having only one tab within that window. Kindly advise on the reason

It's great that Firefox now has tab groups - but I'm finding two things unclear:

1. How do you pin tab groups?

- I can't seem to make them stay the same place (e.g. at the start of my open tabs). - They seem to randomly move around in the pile of tabs I have open, making them harder to find.

2. How do you prevent new tabs from automatically being added to the tab groups?

- It's annoying that new tabs seem to get thrown into your tab group even if they're not related (i.e. weren't a link clicked within the group).

I'd appreciate any tips on these two points!

Hello. I love the feature. I didn't know it was a new feature because I started using Firefox around April. I saved my group tabs, very happy about it. Then I close and save it, then I opened it again, it was great!

I am a student, I use my group tab to add the tabs that have the resources that I need to, and would also like to study for more knowledge and for my next school year.

There was no problem at that whole time. In April 21, there was no problem until April 22, 23 no problem. But I forgot my charger at that time, because I was at my mothers house. Then I wait for weeks for my charger to come back, about 2 weeks for my laptop to revive there in my grandparent's house.

When I got my charger, and opened firefox. Wait, but at first when I opened firefox, it showed me that there is a new update, an update about tab groups that I already now. I looked at my group tabs, and they are not there anymore.

What should I do to get them back.

I just had to close Firefox and reopen it and when I did I lost all my pinned tabs even though I had the checkbox in settings ticked to keep them, I managed to recover most of them by going through bookmarks and history but some I can't get back and I can't remember the websites to do it manually, this is more than just annoying, I have lost some very important websites.
