I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox and I find the following behavior mildley annoying, how can I change it?

I have a wide screen and usually use only half of it for one window. If I have Firefox on the left with a few tabs open and want to bring one of them to the right, I drag the tab to the right edge of my screen and it docks in to the right half of the screen.

So far so good - behavior is the same as for Chrome. Just that the new Firefox window on the right now is the last window in the Windows windows hierarchy (which shows if you press Alt + Tab). Meaning it will open behind all windows that are already opened and I have to bring it to the front by pressing Alt + Tab and clicking on the last window.

That is annoying and - it seems to me - a very unlogical thing to do. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? How can I switch that behavior such that the window opens on top of all others (as expected and as Chrome does).

Thanks.

Hello so my computer crashed from a power outage and firefox decided to open random tabs i haven't had opened I ages but didn't bother to open the tabs i had previously had opened. I want these tabs back

I have an issue with firefox.If I click the tab ,it should move to next field.when I click up /down arrow in drop down field ,it is moving to next field without clicking the tab itself..it's happening only in Firefox ,If I try in other browsers like chrome ,IE it works. Is this issue related to extension or browser version or should correct it in javascript code.what should I do??

FireFox Mozila 115.13esr 64 bit, Suddenly hang while working on 2 to 3 tabs respectively. And In taskmanager It consumes alot of memory and dump the whole system speed.

How can I disable any non essentials background usage or make it light for window 7 with get no load.

Thankyou!

When I opened Firefox on my desktop this morning, there were tabs open that I did not open. The websites in those tabs were not ones that I had gone to on this computer either. The websites are ones that I visited on my Android phone. I synched the devices yesterday, I think - the process was confusing.

I use two Firefox windows: one that has the web interface of my music player only, and another window for other internet browsing.

However, sometimes when I open a link from outside Firefox it opens in the window of the music player rather than in my "browsing" window. Moreover, when I switch to Firefox (using Cmd+tab on MacOS), the music window is selected rather than my "browsing" window, even if the last selected window was my browsing one.

Is there a way to make a window exclusive for a tab so that no other tabs are open in that particular window (and perhaps the tab bar is hidden)? Or is there to designate one of the windows as the "main" window?

For the past week links i click on will randomly not open in the tab nor will it be able to refresh(its greyed out), I'll have to close the tab and click again and it will usually load that time.

I have already cleared the cache and cookies, refreshed AND re-installed Firefox and this problem is still occurring.

Hi Was told to ask new question off of this tread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314940#question-reply

I have similar issue. Have file that has all the tab history, but can't get Firefox to recognize or use it. The scrounger pulls up everything so the file is good it seems.

Why can't, or how do we get Firefox to use it?

Thank you

I have a pinned tab (from Distill Monitoring addon) that always has to be pinned. And thats ok. But the problem is that every few minutes, new duplicate pinned tabs emerge so that around 5 or 8 of them emerge. I only want one pinned tab open, not several duplicate pinned tabs. How do I fix this with CSS or other means?

Pinned tabs disappear from main browser window AFTER using "New private window" browser to test a different site issue. This has happened a few times for me. It is very cumbersome and should not be necessary to do a problem search and see all the steps needed to follow using the sessionstore.jsonlz4 process. Why can't Firefox have simple "restore PINNED tabs" history? I am going to plan on saving each link for each pinned tab in a document of my own simply because it is EXTREMELY annoying and TIME CONSUMING to try to get each of them back. Why does the "New Private Window" use cause this issue in the main browser window?

I use multiple windows with multiple tabs in each window. I am wondering if Firefox can be improved so that when I open a link in a new tab it opens in my CURRENT window (the one I'm looking at in front and the one in which I asked to add a new tab) rather than a window in the background or minimized. Firefox chooses to open new tabs in the last window in which I opened a new tab, even if they're in the background or minimized, which gets very annoying because I am constantly switching between windows to work on different topical projects. If this could be fixed I would appreciate it! Thanks.

it no have option "last session" or something. they just disappeared. they have on history, but it have tabs from celphone too. i don't like to searching betveen this crap

Hello all. I am looking for a way to prevent the width of tabs from resizing when either adding or subtracting tabs from the tab bar. The only reference I can find to this issue is a 2014 post found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989387. The suggestions therein do not apply to the current FF version. Among other things, the suggestion to go to the setting "browser.tabs.animate" does not seem to apply to the current FF version since I can not find such a setting. Like the OP in the 2014 post, the auto tab resizing drives me nuts! (Maybe he/she and I are the only people in the whole FF world community who are bothered by this?!) I would much prefer the tab width to stay the same and use the arrows on each side of the tab bar to access tabs that do not fit across the screen when many tabs are open. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using FF 128.0 with Win 10 22H2 build 19045.4651. Thanks for any suggestions. John H

This is a new problem, I've only had on this new device, previously when closing tabs, they wouldn't move till the mouse had been moved away.

Now, they move in the fraction of a second before the tab closes, which frequently means a different tab is now under the mouse and then that tab that I didn't want to close, closes.

I'm not sure what the problem was since I imported my profile from my previous device. Maybe there's something in the config that I can change to fix this?

Thanks!
