Just wondering, are the Tab Groups only saved locally or also on the Account? Have also heard that the Tab Groups feature has sometimes been disabled by itself, when re-opening Firefox, and they lost all their groups and had to enable the feature again. But I don't know anything else about that, and just would like to know, if the Tab Groups can be or are saved on the Mozilla Account.

More frequently than I care to admit, I seem to close FF instances which I don't want to close (such as my connection to Whatsapp). I then miss important replies or questions. Of course I can reach out to 'History' and try to find the closed Tab or Window... But that takes time.

I'd suggest adding/removing a 'protection' flag to a tab (eg. on right-clicking), so that, on trying to close the tab, or close the window containing the tab, I get a warning...

The new group tab feature of latest update of Firefox browser (just downloaded) doesn't actually work. What's detailed in the description doesn't exist. I'm using macOS Sonoma version 14.7.5 Of course it restarted following the upgrade.

After having created a couple of tab groups with some of the numerous tabs that were already open in my browser (Firefox, of course) and then closing and reopening the browser shortly after, no tabs at all reopened even though this is my normal setting for Firefox: open all previous tabs when opening firefox. This setting had always worked before - as it does now with the new tabs. However, all my previous tabs as well as the freshly created groups have vanished. Do you have an explanation and ideally a way of recovering the tabs - or the groups at least? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Kerstin

When I'm on a website and click on a link to open in a new tab, the new tab option does not show. The open a new window shows. The options should show in the order of open a new tap on top, followed by open a new window. This only happens when the link shows above two third's of the page. If the link is on the bottom third of the page the option for open a new tab shows above the open a new window. When on a web page I can't scroll down if the link is above two thirds of the page (at the top two thirds of the page). This has been happening through Firefox updates that don't correct this issue.

How do I get Firefox to show page information when hovering over a tab on the Firefox tab bar? It did this until one of the recent updates and now that doesn't work and I can't find anything in settings to control this feature.

Hello, My Firefox recently updated (it's now v. 138.0.1), and now I can't seem to create tab groups anymore. When I move one tab on top of another, nothing happens. What can I do to get this useful tool back? Thank you!

The new native tab group feature has an option to "Save and close group", implying that you can restore the group. But doing this, you will find that the group disappears.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone figured out how to restore a saved tab group?

Hi! I'm currently on Mozilla Firefox's Version 138.0.1 for 64-bit Windows 11, but I don't have the new features for tab groups or profile customization. I checked for updates and disabled my extensions, and still no options for either of the new features appear. Is there a way I can get these features activated on my Firefox? Thanks!

The drag, pause, and drop maneuver is not working for me. I have the latest version of Firefox. Any ideas? I'd really like to be able to use this new feature. Thanks!

I have v138.1 and tab groups are not working. When I try and put one over another to create a group, it just sides away. I read this feature would be available on v137 and up after 5/6/25🤷🏼‍♂️

the tab grouping was advertised to me on my startup page? but evidently version 138 isn't compatible? And would you please help us wean off google as much as possible?

I don't think this is the right place to post this but I didn't know where. Feel free to delete this question if it doesn't comply with the guidelines. Thanks for understanding.

I'm really enjoying the new Tab Groups feature in Firefox. It helps me organize my tabs especially when I have multiple work to do. However, I've found the process a bit tricky because dragging the tabs sometimes moves the tabs and it takes some time for the Groups dialog to show. It's a bit frustrating.

It would be great to have a modifier key, like holding down shift or alt while dragging the tab, to instantly move them to a group or any of the groups without accidentally rearranging them. This would make the grouping process feel more precise.

Thank you.

When I hold control on my Mac and click on a Tab the box that opens has no option to rename or to group the tabs together....I am running Firefox 138. Clearly I am missing something. It offers a function that would save me a lot of time, I hope you can help
