In the past, when I would click on a link on my home page, the link would open in a new tab, but I would stay on my home page so that I could look at the opened link later. Now when I click on a link on my home page, it doesn’t open in a new tab, but rather opens the link in the same tab that I was viewing my home page on. I have checked my settings, and everything appears to be how I want it. I believe that the "Open links from apps next to your active tab" is the setting that should accomplish what I want. I do have it checked, and yet it won't open my links in a new tab. How do I get links to open in a new tab?

Up until today, when I double-clicked a message in the Inbox, it opened the message in a new tab, and focused that tab so I could read the message. Now it creates the tab, but I have to click on that tab to see the message. (I do not want the preview pane, either). I run 150.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I changed the setting to open it in a new window. That had no effect.

If I have a pinned tab, but I close out of the browser completely, that pinned tab should NOT open there when I relaunch the browser. NO tabs should be opened when I relaunch the browser after it has been completely closed.

PLEASE provide a way to disable this annoying "feature" (i.e., bug).

Thank you

How can I get right click to open my selection in a new window? this option has disappeared!

When I right click to open a link in a new window, the top 2 boxes of the right click window are blank and below them is AI stuff, but no open link in a new tab/window! where did it go? How can I get the right click open in a new window back??????

In the previous version of Firefox, there was a location to save current tabs in the "Home" section is that still available? Where is it?

I've attached a photo of the current page, and there does not appear to be a "save current tabs" option

Where is my home screen start up tabs? I used to start up Firefox and my chosen tabs opened. Where are they? That is the reason I have stuck with Firefox all these years.

When adding tabs to a tab group, are the tabs moved or copied into the group?

I have many different interests. I also have hundreds of tabs. I would like the tabs in a group not appear on the open tabs line. I also want selecting a tab group to replace the default open tabs line.

I had about 15 pinned tabs - unloaded - that I was saving for a research project. I shut my PC down and when powered up for the next session - all the pinned tabs were gone. I never thought to record the tabs via screen shot or something.

Is this normal - what are the limits of pinned tabs ? Do they expire in a day ? When the PC powers down ? When Firefox updates ?

Exactly what are the limits or boundaries for pinned tabs ?

I really love Firefox’s new Split View feature. The Alt + Click shortcut to create vertical split pages works perfectly and greatly improves my multitasking workflow for side-by-side tab comparison. However, there is currently no native keyboard shortcut to cancel / exit Split View and separate tabs without closing either page. To undo split view, users have to rely entirely on mouse operations: right-click tabs or click the divider menu. This breaks keyboard-first browsing efficiency and creates unnecessary extra clicks every time I finish comparing pages.

Feature Request

Please add a dedicated built-in shortcut to quickly separate tabs and close Split View. A simple key like Esc or a custom combination such as Ctrl+Shift+Alt+X or something would be ideal, matching the convenient Alt+Click way to trigger split view.

Hi,

After the last Firefox update, the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting stopped working, and I need to use the shortcut "Ctrl+Shift+T" after each start to restore the previous tabs.

Is there any solution for this problem or there is a way to downgrade to a version where "Open previous windows and tabs" works correctly?

My current version is 152.0.1 (64-bit).

thanks.

Hello

Vertical tabs are a good idea. However to make a transition smoother special for those, like me, that have been using horizontal tabs for a life time (I was a Netscape user), can I suggest that the new tabs come on top instead of on bottom?

I could write a long motivation for that, user trend, psychological, etc, but I am sure you got the point.

Thanks + regards Luis

Can the quantity of tabs ever get so large that finally one more tab wont open? What are the max count of tabs recommended, and when should they be removed to start over?
