Hello everyone,

Like most of you, I'm aggressively attacked by advertising new tabs.

I'd like to have this: my tabs static, no movement, all fixed sizes, and no new tabs on redirects. If I need a new tab, I manually click the "+".-sign.

Fox tries to fit all tabs in, at the same time.

What I have tried so far is not working:

1. pinned tabs always get un-pinned at restart

2. pop-ups are stopped in Firefox own Settings

3. my settings in about:config: browser.uidensity = 0 browser.tabs.animate = false browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false browser.tabs.allowTabDetach = false browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 68 px dom.popup_allowed_events = False browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false accessibility.blockautorefresh = false services.sync.prefs.sync.accessibility.blockautorefresh = false toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling = False browser.link.open_newwindow = 2 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external = 3

Tabs still move, change size, and unwanted ones appear. :/

What settings should I change, add, or remove? Anyone more proficient than me, in about:config-programming?

Cheers!

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

PROBLEM: Pinned tabs are useful, but if I have more than one Firefox window open and I close them in the wrong order, the next time I open Firefox, my pinned tabs are gone and I have to pin them again.

SOLUTION: Pinned tabs should be able to be permanent so that they will re-open no matter which Firefox window is closed first. Is there a way to make this work?

How do I turn off the sliding arrows so I can see all my pinned tabs at once? I do not like the pinned websites to be hidden?! Wish you would stop changing things.

I'm stunned. I decided to try the "tab holder" feature that just appeared at the top of my sidebar with open tabs. I don't know why, but the tab holder went away, and with it the entire sidebar went blank. All my open tabs, my visual memory bank of places I frequent, just vanished.

I'm sick. Totally disabled by this.

Is there a place where newly added features are discussed, with instructions, etc.?

And how can I get my old sidebar list of tabs to come back?
