I've just updated Firefox to 136.0 and found the "return closed tab" key became blank and ineffective. I read the update log but didn't find infomation about this change. The function was useful to me and I hope to get it back.

When I open Firefox browser around ten several weeks old tabs are there. It is not set in the setting to open. I did many attempts to get rid of this nuisance and they are still here. I Created new profile, erased all profiles, removed Firefox, and reinstalled with option not to use old setting since new installation found that the fire fox has been installed. And frustration part that Mozilla do not offer (as I know) support to fix this problem. This glitch is hidden somewhere and the program always find it an put it back. I am not sure if what to do as I run out of options, other than turn to another browser after many years using only Firefox with no problems at all. Thanks Ned

I love using the sidebar button (not the permanent vertical sidebar, but the button in the main toolbar that pops up a sidebar when I want it).

However, I want it to default to Synced Tabs, but it always defaults to Bookmarks whenever I restart Firefox. I already have a bookmarks toolbar, and don't need them in the sidebar.

Is there a setting somewhere that would let me set the default to Synced Tabs?

Hi,

On my "new tab" page, the "add a shortcut" button is missing. I can pin, unpin, move, and dismiss shortcuts freely, but only those which automatically appear. Unfortunately the page I'd like to pin is not in the auto-generated shortcuts list (even expanded to 4 lines). It is in my recently bookmarked pages, but the context menu there does not allow adding it to the shortcuts. I use Windows, Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-13) (64-bit).

Thanks for any help, Pat

I use a lot of containers (love this extension!) and have an improvement suggestion.

It would be helpful if the entire tab was colored, rather than just the little line at the top. I have a hard time seeing the line and distinguishing between similar colors.

For context, I have to log into multiple email and website accounts for work. The tab descriptions are often the same (for example, I'll have 3 or 4 google accounts open and they all say "Gmail" or "Admin console") so I have to click on each to find the right one since the colored line is hard for me to see.

Since I updated firefox a day or so ago, the tabs on my tab bar display at the top of the window change width to add the audio icon when the tab starts playing audio, which I find distracting especially when the active tab plays audio intermittently in response to my interactions with the tab. I couldn't find anything about that in the settings page. How do I turn this off so that tabs in the tab bar (at least the active tab) stay the same width?

I am a developer.I want to know the source code location in Firefox that reject tracker cookies and the code location for obtaining the tracking protection list after installation

Before update I have tree style tabs extension, that organized tabs and show it as list in left side of screen. And this was ideal setup for me. But new sidebar broke this. It Have rudimentary vertical tabs, that missed main feature from tree style tabs extension. But I cant hide this sidebar, because it also hide tree style tabs.

How i can return to my previous setup, where i only see tree style tabs extension ?

I am using Firefox 136.0 on a Macbook running Sonoma 14.5 & on a MacMini running Sequoia 15.3.1. When doing a search using the Google search engine in Firefox if I click on a result it no longer opens in a new tab, instead it just opens it in the same tab. If I right click on the result & select "Open in a new tab" it does. I experimented with using Yahoo search engine (which I hate) & new results still open in a new tab. I assume others are experiencing this problem when using Google search with Firefox since it is happening on both my Macbook & my MacMini. Anybody know if this a settings issue or is there a problem with the software?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

you are repeating old mistakes. You have become worse than Microsoft. Firefox is not remembering open tabs again. I have supported your Firefox until now but enough is enough.

现在的版本是136.0.1 之前鼠标悬停到标签页，会出现关闭的x按钮，这样无需切换标签页就可以关闭想要关闭的页面。 现在鼠标悬停标签页，关闭按钮也不会出现了，必须把这个标签页切换为当前页面才能关掉。 请问这个问题怎么解决？ （firefox的历次更新，似乎一直在去掉用户喜欢的，习惯的功能与特性，一直在自以为是的为用户制造麻烦，这个软件的衰落是必然的） The current version is 136.0.1 Previously hovering the mouse over a tab would bring up the close x button so that the page you wanted to close could be closed without switching tabs. Now when I hover over a tab, the close button doesn't appear either, and I have to switch this tab to the current page to close it. How to solve this problem? (The successive updates of firefox seem to have been removing the functions and features that users like and are used to, and have been making trouble for users, the decline of this software is inevitable.)

After a recent update, the 'Reopen Closed Tab' button has disappeared from my browser. Additionally, the drag-and-drop functionality to open hyperlinks in new tabs has stopped working. Is there a way to restore these features without reinstalling the browser?

Before I update, I often enter a url/paste a url in the current page and hit command + Enter and the page always open in a new tab.

Now I found that it sometimes open in a new tab, sometimes don't. Instead, if I do option+Enter it does open in a new tab every time.

This is a bit annoying because command + Enter has built into my muscle memory. Is this an expected behavior change and would I be able to configure it?

I'm a user of a site where I have ended up with a lot of accounts. I use the container extension to make it so I can have each account logged in simultaneously. However, since I added the accounts in a random order, the list is in nothing approaching alphabetical order. There are so many now it makes it hard to find them; plus I have containers I use for other sites. The only way I can find to reorder them is to remove and remake the containers in alphabetical order. I think it would be useful to make it so in the settings page there was the ability to grab a handle on the left-hand side of the container listing and drag it to be where you want it in the list.

help me restore all tabs if possible, there were more than 200 tabs i need to restore them. i tried to restore them through journal and other profiles but there were empty tabs there too.

I have literally over 200 tabs open at a time and recover them every time I reboot Firefox, but they are very disorganized. Is there a good way to organize them, for example, group related tabs together?
