When i try to drag a text/word/link to between tabs (i generally have 10 tabs open) it opens a new tab at the far right. I tried to change "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" but it just opens the new tab next to the tab that i'm viewing. For example, when i'm at the sixth tab and i want to open a new tab (by dragging) between third and fourth tabs it opens that tab on the far right. This wasn't like that before how can i change it?

Hello,

So I have this habbit I love which is opening a link on a new tab, then continue browsing the content on my old tab until the new one loads, or when I am done reading through it. Recently, firefox has been switching automatically to the new tab once it loads, which interrupts my workflow/reading a lot.

Is there a way I can stop this or turn this feature off? I believe I start experiencing this after an update.

This is a problem I only started experiencing yesterday, but if I try to upload an image to a website (such as social media), and I double-click a shortcut for a folder, it attempts to upload the shortcut as the selected file, instead of opening the folder.

This is only a problem with firefox, as I tried doing this in another browser and I was able to open it as a folder normally. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to fix this?

Why I cannot use drag and drop to open a new webpage now?

I'm experiencing an issue with the drag and drop functionality in my browser that's significantly affecting my workflow. Previous behavior:

I could drag any selected text to any area of the browser window to open a new search tab I could lightly drag links anywhere to open them in new tabs

Current behavior:

Now I must drag content specifically to the tab bar at the top to open new tabs This extra precision required is frustrating and slowing down my browsing

I haven't intentionally changed any settings, and this change happened suddenly. This functionality was extremely useful for me as I frequently need to open multiple tabs while researching. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a new "feature" or a bug? Most importantly, does anyone know how to restore the previous drag and drop behavior? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Is there a way to reopen the previous session?

Has that feature been deleted?

Dear Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to suggest a small but useful enhancement to the Firefox interface that I believe would improve user experience and accessibility.

Currently, in the "Customize Sidebar" section, the available tools are limited to a few items such as AI Chat, Tabs from Other Devices, History, and Bookmarks. I believe it would be very helpful to include "Downloads" as an additional sidebar tool.

This would allow users to quickly access their recent downloads without needing to go through the menu or use shortcuts. It adds convenience and aligns well with the purpose of the sidebar — offering quick access to frequently used features.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Firefox. I look forward to seeing future updates! Warm regards, Julabeeb a firefox user, developer, and contributor

Are you satisfied with the way it behaves? Do you find the tool awkward to use? Extremely sensitive to movement during capture. Tends to jump around, for lack of a better term. I just tried to copy a portion of a page, and during the in the attempt, it jumped to the bottom of the page, and there was no way to adjust back, so i have to start over.

The other day I wanted to save a full page, but both buttons would only "Save visible". No scroll.

Why is the no option to save in another format? The help article here says you can convert it afterwards.

Hasn't they been enough time to make a few small refinements.

Can you suggest an addon that will do the same jobs better?

Some tabs are unreachable when switching between them using Ctrl+tab

I am very used to switching tabs by using the keyboard so I usually do Ctrl+tab and I have it set to recent order (which makes sense to me because most of the time you switch back and forth between two or three tabs) to navigate between tabs. In some recent update, some tabs became unreachable by using this keyboard shortcut, as no more tabs are displayed nor do they appear when you reach the end of the list, forcing me to use the mouse to look for the tab (please see screenshot attached).

I was hoping this had a workaround or if it is a bug I would like to know how to report it.

Thank you!

Clicking pinned vertical tabs doesn't focus the page

I've switched to vertical tabs as soon as they became available, and although I prefer using them, at the moment there is an annoying issue with them. If you have one or several pinned tabs, clicking one of them does show the corresponding page, but you can't interact with it until you click into it. To reproduce, have at least one pinned tab and a normal one. If you click on a normal tab and then press "Tab", the focus will start jumping between elements that are focusable. But if you click on a pinned tab, pressing "Tab" will first jump through the tab bar a few times before finally getting to the page: First, the tab itself will get the focus, then the "New tab" button, then the "Customize sidebar" gear icon, and only then does the focus move to the page itself.

What's annoying about it in practice is that one of my pinned tabs is a site that uses keyboard shortcuts for interaction, and whenever I click on it and start pressing keys, nothing happens. Then I have to click into the page once to move the focus to it, and only then does it become usable again.

So, it would be great if pinned tabs would behave the same way as normal ones, immediately focusing the page when clicked.
