when I open a new tab why does it open this website (https://search.rspark.com/?ytm)????

It's suppose to open a blank page. I set my preferences to open a blank page for a new tab. This never happened before until I updated my Firefox. I am using 110.0 Firefox browser on my Mac. I am running Mac OS 10.15.7

Never had this problem before and I did a clean install.

Hello,

Thank you for processing my inquiry.

How do I remove this prompt? See attached. I have gone through the process a dozen times. It still keeps coming back. It is super frustrating. Where I got through the process of "Set up in Seconds" or the "Skip this step" process, Firefox doesn't remember that I already clicked through these prompts a billion times previously. Please assist me otherwise I feel the need to switch browsers. I am using windows.

Thank you for your assistance.

A window with a lot of tabs was closed without me noticing so I don't know how it occured. I had another Firefox window open but under recently closed windows the correct window with all the tabs is not accessible, just two earlier windows. Is there any way to recover the correct window with all its tabs? sigh...

Firefox Restore Previous Session function Not Working

Hi, hope you are doing well, this is a bit of a complaint and a 'please fix these things' as well as a question.

2 main things: "Restore Previous Session" does not seem to be working at all, 'Manage History' window is not nearly as fleshed out as it needs to, as manually combing through my search history to find the lost tabs looks like a monumental task fit for Sisyphus.


I was away from my computer and hadn't turned it on for about a week, I come back to it and it appears to only have 2 tabs open... out of the 45-ish I previously had open. The 'Restore Previous Session' tool was not able to be used mysteriously.

I spend a few hours trying to find a way to get my tabs back, to no success. It was late so I didn't comb my history for the tabs. I do however, transfer all the tabs I had open on my phone to my PC. about 60-ish tabs (I have a problem yes).

Then today my house has a power outage, shutting off my PC and when i turn it on i see... no 'restore previous session' button to use. After having a cry, I combed my search history and restored all of yesterday's tabs, which was thankfully easy to do because i only had to comb through yesterday's search history. The "Restore Previous Session" tool seems broken to me.

But to comb through all my history for my previous session's tabs, I have to use the 'Manage History' window. I have some problems with this. - the history list Columns and Sorting are too basic i.e. It has no "when tab closed" tag, so i can't clearly see all the tabs that closed at once. - No way to separate which device's search history, my phone's history is mixed in with my PC's, making it super messy. - I can't highlight and open multiple tabs at once, making reopening dozens of tabs very tedious.

- Firefox can 'sync' my tabs and history, but i would like to be able to have both devices have the EXACT same tabs open, like 2 devices accessing the same browser terminal. If it were this way, my tabs would never be out of my sight and both devices would have to be messed with to really lose the session. Can this be done?

Something has clearly gone wrong for my computer to be shut down and for the 'Restore previous Session' button not be available. I am a uni student and i am worried i may lose dozens of important research tabs at once - multiple times - because of what looks like a technical issue with no elegant work around.

Please help me out. At the very least please tell me how I can see WHEN my tabs closed so I can IDENTIFY them at an easy glance.

Sorry for the long note, losing around 50 tabs, twice, shook me to my core.

If I open a private window and then right click on any link and choose the "Open Link in New Tab" context menu option, a new tab will appear for a few milliseconds before immediately closing and the link will never load. The new tab closed in this manner will not show up in the history of closed tabs either (likely because this list is only updated after a tab fully loads a page before being closed, which obviously never happens). I have not added any new addons since long before this problem started, but I did try disabling any tab related addons to no effect.

The scrolling of tabs from left to right using the mouse wheel is way faster than I want. One scroll of the mouse wheel moves the tabs like 80% of the way across the tab-bar. This is problematic when the browser window is sharing half the screen and a scroll moves all visible tabs away. This means I have to then click the buttons to move the tabs one-at-a-time and if I click too fast it scrolls an entire pages worth which is also unwanted.

TLDR: I want a setting like `mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y` that only works in the tab-bar.

I randomly get this issue, I enter URL and tab does nothing, even on F5, I open a new tab enter the same URL and it loads.

Maybe there are 10-15tabs open, CPU load is not high, plenty of RAM,

Very weird, like it wasn't even trying to do DNS query. As I remember I couldn't even open Network traffic log in tab, because page hasn't started loading yet.

Hi,

I always restore my previous tabs and windows when opening Mozilla, and until recently Mozilla always remembered my scroll location in those tabs, which is very handy because I read books online and otherwise have no idea where in the book I was. It recently stopped doing that though, and I haven't found a way to fix it after Googling a bit. Does anyone know how I can get back to how it was before?

Thanks very much in advance!!

Whenever I start Firefox, I have multiple pages open in a new window. However, whenever I want to look at those in the settings, I usually get something like this.

https://websiteexample.com/page1|https://websiteexample.com/page2|https://websiteexample.com/page3

However, this all appears in a single text box. This is inconvenient whenever I want to change anything here. Is there any way to instead have each page appear in its own unique text box so that I can have an easier time editing any of them? Thank you.

Hallo zusammen, Firefox zeigt von gewünschten Webseiten Kacheln an. Wie kann man die Graphik der Kacheln durch benutzerdefinierte Graphik ersetzen? Unter bearbeiten wird angezeigt: „Benutzerdefinierte Graphik verwenden“ und „Eine Adresse eingeben oder einfügen“ Scheinbar sollte das gehen! aber, wenn man das versucht wird angezeigt: „Gültige Adresse erforderlich“ Geht bei mir nicht. Warum? Wie muss die Adresse genau aussehen? *.jpg, *.png? etc. Alles versucht. Bitte Beispiel! Ggf. Einstellungen? PC-Einstellungen? Meine Firefox-Version ist aktuell und 110.0.1. (64 Bit)

in firefox windows: I don't know the technical terms for this, so don't assume I'm using "reload" correctly - or anything else. every time i switch back and forth between tabs, the tab i return to suddenly goes blank and reloads. It can take 1-15 seconds every time I switch tabs, but sometimes I can switch back and the tab is the same as I left it without blinking out and into existence. On certain sites, this makes whatever I was reading get lost in the feed, but it's always distracting and frustrating. I work fast between lots and lots of tabs and this eats a lot of time and makes me lose focus, and adds massive friction to my workflow. How do i make it keep tabs loaded and looking as they did when i switched out of them, instead of pretending I just typed in the url and loading that from scratch every time? I'm not the best with technical terms if anybody knows this can you explain it like I'm five please? Pictured: a tab I switched out of a little while ago but needed to copy something off - it went blank and slowly re-loaded when I switched back over to it
