With vertical tabs and expand on hover, clicking on the X box rarely closes the tab. Sometimes I have success if the pointer is on the left or right line of the box. Not having luck on the center of the box. Has been true for several weeks. With hover off, clicking the X works fine. I am running Windows 11.

Hello, I have Firefox set to open the tabs that I had open during my last session. (General > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs). When I open Firefox, it does give me all the tabs that were open in my last session. But it does not give me the current pages. It gives me the pages as they existed when I closed it.

Is there some way to have Firefox refresh the tabs when I open the browser? I seem to remember this happening in the past. But it's possible I was using a different browser then.

Now I'm using version 133.0.3, Firefox for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0. Yes, I realize this is not the current version. If it's possible to get this feature with the current version, I'll be happy to upgrade.

Thank you very much.

I have enclosed a screenshot showing what happens when I want to go to a new tab on the two computers I use most often. One is my desktop which has Windows 10 Home. The other is my laptop which has Windows 10 Pro. The Windows 10 Home was installed most recently and is the latest version of Windows 10, my tech guy told me; and also the latest version of Firefox 123.0.1. The laptop version of Windows 10 is older. The Firefox version is also 123.0.1.

My hope is that there is a setting I have not uncovered that lets me put some kind of mark on a new tab, as my laptop has had for a few years. This makes it very easy to open. The newer, later Windows version but same Firefox 123.0.1 on the desktop must be right-clicked in the space to the right of any open site, and then the user must scroll down to the "New Tab" line and click on it. Obviously this requires my user clicks and more time, simply to get a new tab that gives me a blank site that I prefer.

I appreciate whatever guidance or suggestions anyone can give.

I lost my tabs. Firefox has been opened and closed several times after losing tabs. I went here https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html. I was able to find the file containing my lost tabs, it is sessionstore(1706800631216_9931f324-5558-4488-a36c-a5b3cb9e8c54_event_jsonlz4).json What do I do with this file now? Thank you.

Are tab groups like containers i.e. isolated from the others, so thay I can access sites logged into different accounts for instance or separate browsing experience/cookies ?

Recently updated to Windows 11 after Windows 10 stopped getting supported. After putting down several smaller issues on my own, I can encountered something I cannot fix on my own. Currently, I cannot detach, reattach, move tabs (With the exception of moving tabs with the right click menu). I could do all of these on Windows 10. I have already tried the browser.tabs.allowTabDetach setting in about:config to no success. I am starting to suspect it is a problem with windows versus a problem with Firefox because of an earlier bug where I couldn't move the windows entirely without enabling the Snap Windows function in my settings.

I really appreciate this amazing new 'unloading' feature. It's just the function I need. However, I can't unload all the tabs I've selected. Only some of them are inactivated, and this problem occurs almost every time I choose a group of tabs.

Hello,

I dislike the Group Tabs feature. So many times I've accidentally created a Group Tab and then had to figure out how to un-group them.

I've tried to change the value of the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" preference to false, but it doesn't stick; after restarting, the value is always back to "true".

What’s up with this?

Thanks, Andre’a

Recently an update made it to where closing a tab group no longer works. It closes MOST of the tab group, leaving the last used one active along with a number to the right such as "+3" to show there are three more tabs hidden. This completely defeats the purpose of being able to close the tab group in the first place. In order to get around this, you have to click another tab to make it active and only then will the tab group you tried to close, actually close. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that closing tab groups actually works?

Assuming there is no fix, how can I downgrade to a previous version without losing all my settings, bookmarks, etc? Can I just uninstall the broken version and install the older version?

Thanks!

TAB I am a new user of Firefox and when I open the browser today, I only had the use of one tab on each window. Yesterday, before closing for the night, I had multiple tabs. How do I get tabs so I can open multiple windows on each screen?

Hi,

Is this new feature? Once I click on link with middle mouse button, that tab is opened and switched to it. Previous firefox versions only opened tab and thats it. It is very frustrating. I want open multiple tabs and then view those tabs. Now I have to, suppose I have 5 links listed in webpage:

I middle mouse 1st link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 2nd link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 3rd link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 4th link Then I have to return to my previous page I middle mouse 5th link Then I have to return to my previous page

If it is new DEFAULT, then please make ant option to switch back in about:config, thanks!

im having issues with my tabs as there are now two sets of tabs one that is empty basically and seems to be treated as the main one and the other that is all my other tabs... but when i try to switch to them it switches my screen so other apps like games or messaging apps no longer are visible yet the still appear to exist

Before I updated to 142.0.1 when I had a tab group and closed it by clicking on it, all the tabs collapsed into the tab group tab and the only thing I could see was the tab group title tab. This was awesome! I started using it immediately and loved it. Since I updated the tab groups still work, but now, sometimes, when I click on the tab group tab to close the group I see the title tab, one of the tabs included in the group, and a "+2" or however many tabs are hidden. This pretty much defeats the whole idea of having the tab groups in the first place, which to me, was to hide ALL THE TABS under ONE tab to clean up my work area.

The image below shows an example. Note the "eBay" tab group is closed, and yet it shows the tab group tab (eBay), a tab in that group (eBay icon and "Order" with the X to close the tab), and then "+2" meaning there are two hidden tabs. In contrast, the "Simple" and "Web Work" tab groups are also closed and contain 4 and 9 tabs respectively, all neatly tucked under the one tag group tab for each group.

Why is this happening only on some tab groups, and only some of the time? How can I stop this from happening?

the tab groups page i was shown by firefox says i should be able to group my tabs starting at the latest yesterday but my tabs still just move out of the way and refuse to group. i found container groups but they work nothing like the page showed. i have firefox version 138 and the tab groups was starting to be roled out on 137

On Linux, clicking the X in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox display, or entering CTRL-W kills Firefox with no warning. It would be nice if there was an alert that came up asking "Are you sure if you want to kill Firefox?". Or at least add an option for this in Settings.
