Can using the scroll wheel in vertical tabs be made an option? I used to use sideberry that had the feature which I loved.

Using Firefox 145.0 (64-bit), "Firefox is up to date" on PC with Windows 11 Pro.
I was so pleased when Firefox's Group Tabs arrived. I often have about 12 tabs open to do Railway research. So I thought, Group Tab, great idea. Save a group of tabs as one tab. Instead of creating a Bookmark Folder and each time opening all bookmarks from said folder, what better way to do than opening one tab. Or so I thought. I also created a "SHIP" tab for my hobby in the shipping industry, so I could have two group tabs that could be collapsed making the tab bar tidier. I saved an closed each group tab then closed down my PC. Next on restarting, Firefox starts up automatically as chosen by me. Both RAIL & SHIP tabs reappeared without me doing anything. Great! However yesterday, I inadvertently opened another Firefox window, forgot it was opened. So when I shut down my PC, I closed the Firefox browser and then discovered the over Firefox window I had opened. Closed it shut down my computer. Of course when I opened my PC today, Firefox started automatically, but with the tab that I had open in the last Firefox window. No problem I thought, I will just open the saved Group Tabs. It was a problem, where are the Group Tabs saved? Could I find the location? NO! I looked in Bookmarks, all the various History lists, even the down arrow to list all tabs. Nothing, the Group Tabs are none existent. I have checked on the "about:config" section for Group Tabs and everything is enabled "true". So where are the Group Tabs saved? I have been with Firefox for around 14 years, often citing it as the best browser. But over the last five years I find myself using Chrome more and more. Chrome has Group Tabs which do not not need the users to save them, they are saved automatically, and are easily found on opening the Chrome browser. Why doesn't Firefox have this?

Open several tabs, in settings, check «ouvrir les fenêtres et onglets précédents», quit firefox.
On startup, Firefox should reopen with the same tabs before shutdown.
Firefox opens with one empty tab. Forcing me to got to «history -> recently closed windows -> restore» everytime I quit Firefox or shutdown the mac.

I use tab groups actively and would save much of my work in my ever-growing list of tab groups. I saw today that many of them had disappeared. I wasn't signed into Firefox and nor do I have any different profiles made. I see two tab groups that I made yesterday but none from before that. How could this happen? How do I recover so much of the work I had saved up?

Every time I accidentally close Firefox I lose all my saved groups on reopening. I can see they are still there but cannot see how to open them. They are such a great innovation. Please make it easier to restore them from previous sessions. Going through a search history and restoring them one by one is hugely time consuming when they are already there and just inaccessible. btw, I tried using scrounger (via troubleshooting) but the "Save List" is greyed out.

Recently Mint upgraded my FF to v147 - possibly relevant, possibly not. There's no post mentioning anyone having this issue on the Mint forum though.
In my Settings, "Open previous windows and tabs" is definitely enabled, but it doesn't happen. I only get my homepage custom URLs.
I went into troubleshooting mode and FF then behaves.
So I figured the issue must be with an extension - but I disabled all my extensions, and it doesn't help. Only going full troubleshooting mode fixes it.
What do I do next please?
Please show how to change the vertical tabs to horizontal tabs. Thank You.

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 clicked on auto restore previous session about six months ago. The session I had open that day of about 20 (now completely irrelevant) tabs opens every time I open my browser. I have to close them all to start a new work day.
I found a work- around. If I go to History and clicking on Restore Previous Session within the History setting yhis took me to my last session. Now the browser is starting to add additional tabs I had open during that previous day. This is a nightmare - I never have a clear browser. How to stop this? I use my History. I don't want to delete History and clear all of the cache and the browser memory. I have put in a request for help before 2-3 months ago. That was the only suggestion. Some idiot invented this option. The same idiot needs to work out how to fix this bug. (apologies to the volunteers who read this - I appreciate your thoughts).
Please just restore my previous tabs from my last firefox use yesterday

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?🙏

We hate this useless so-called feature and you've completely failed to give us an OFF switch! It's been many months with countless complaints and still no OFF switch! We've had this conversation before, all of your ideas must come with an OFF switch, especially so for the dumb ones like tab pinning! You don't ever force this dumb crap on us, ever!
Where is the fkin OFF switch already!?!?!?

I just opened Firefox on my Win 11 pc, and find all my tabs have gone. The setting to reopen last session is active, as before. I think FF updated itself earlier today. I also had occasion to look at it briefly on my synchronised android phone. I would like to: - get my tabs back - find a way to stop this haappening (it's not the first time).
Any advice much appreciated, thanks. Richard

Dear Generous Help Volunteers,
I'm running Firefox 128.13.0 ESR (64-bit) on Windows 11 (Lenovo desktop).
If I use a Private Window, does that mean that "Containers" are redundant/not needed? If not, please explain in depth.
If I use a Private Window, does that mean that, while I have the browser open, any temporarily saved data can be accessed by any website? If so, could I use a Container, in a Private Window, only for those sites for which I need to keep cookie(s) (i.e. bank logins, shopping carts, etc.).
I noticed that SOME container extensions let you select to "Allow in Private Windows" and SOME do NOT. I noticed specifically that "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" will not let you select to "Allow in Private Windows", and my understanding is that this is required for ANY Containers to function. Is that correct? It's a bit confusing.
I have had some sites break using the standard browser (with Containers), that will often work if I use a Private Window. Often, all that seems broken is the "Captcha"; it just doesn't appear and the form will not complete without it. However, it works in a Private Window.
I'm a little confused about which does exactly what. I don't use Google or any social media sites and I don't want any of them to have access to any of my information.
I have also encountered an ongoing problem that is very frustrating and time-consuming: When I click a link in a webpage, 10 to 30 tabs will quickly open, instead of only one, and each has to be closed separately. This happens nearly all the time. Is there a solution to this?
With Appreciation & Kind Regards, Anne Fennell

Tab groups being returned to Firefox desktop a couple of months ago is one of my favourite features, which makes my life significantly better. However, I cannot find any information on its presence in Firefox Android. Is it added and not well documented? Is it not added? Is there a plan to add it to Firefox Android?
