I am using Windows 11 on both my desktop and laptop. I began using vertical tabs a ways back. On my desktop I am able to scroll through the active vertical tabs with the mouse. But, I am unable to scroll the vertical tabs on my laptop. I have compared the Firefox settings on both computers and have been unable to find any settings that are different which could be applicable.

Hi all,

Sometimes Firefox just closes a couple dozens tabs - I keep around 200 or 300 open - without my request or confirmation. It's not frequent, but quite annoying. Clicking History > Recently closed tabs > Reopen all tabs does not restore all. I don't know where I can find references for the lost tabs or Firefox logs where I could check what happened. My only suspicion is that I inadvertently rest my hand or finger somewhere in my notebook's trackpad, and somehow Firefox understand that as a request to close several tabs at once, but I have no clue if that makes any sense. I didn't test in Safe Mode because this happens too unfrequently for me to tell if Safe Mode avoids the problem.

Could you pls help me finding the reason for that? Does Firefox keep any kind of log I can check? Are there any keboard shortcuts or mouse/trackpad action that can be set up to do this?

Firefox version: 153.0.1 Distro: Linux Mint Version: 21.3 (Virginia) (Based on Ubuntu 22.04 - Jammy) Kernel: 5.15.0-186-generic

Thanks!

I've been using "tab groups" for a while but then suddenly my tabs' groups that I just had saved just disappeared, when I had a lot of them of my pending activities. I don't know why it happens, please help me to figure that out cause I had a lot of information that I didn't save on bookmarks. Like I just showed in the uploaded image, I just could restore 1 group tabs because my firefox and laptop turned off and I had that group open before it turned off, so firefox notified me that there was an error and I cannot have all my information again, but at least let me restore my last session, that why I could recover One TAB GROUP

I've used Firefox for years, but lately, on start-up each day, all my previous tabs have disappeared and I have to start again opening them all individually before I can start work? I thought I'd solved this in the past when I had the problem, but it's back! Help please.

Hello,

I am wondering where I can find all of my saved tab groups. The chevron icon in the top right only shows the 5 groups I most recently saved, and there is no way to expand it to see all of the groups I currently have saved.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Before when I was on 152.0.6, everything was working great and once I updated, tab dragging is disabled even though in about:config the value is set to true, meaning it should work. One thing is that if you drag it, there will be a white box for a split second then nothing, and it sometimes moves 1mm and then snaps back.

I have horizontal tabs in Firefox 152.0.4 on a Macbook with Tahoe 26.5.1. My tabs have suddenly reversed order, so that the most recent ones are at the left and the older ones towards the right. Strangely, if I open a new tab it appears to the right of the current tab. I tried closing Firefox and reopening, but it did not change anything. Is there a way to restore usual order of tabs so that the newer ones are at the right?

At some point a few days ago I accidentally dragged the divider that separates the pinned and vertical tabs. As a result, for the last few days, I have been stuck with the divider being in a fixed position no matter how hard I try. The problem is that I use collapsed sidebar by default and can't reposition it for the collapsed tabs state, and as a result, there's a mismatch in how many pinned tabs I can see when hovered and when unhovered, among other issues

If possible, I'd love to just reset the position to how it was before, that being that it would show maximum pinned tabs and scroll the normal tabs, and do so for both collapsed and uncollapsed tabs, but I haven't found a way yet

I've tried dragging the divider to the very bottom, but that didn't work either and it'd eventually reset

Every time I open Firefox, the checkbox next to "Opening links in tabs" always disappears, even though I've checked it in previous sessions. How can I make it permanent?

I use Firefox on the Linux Mint operating system.

Tab group name's width get maximized after dragging it to other place. Please refer to the third tab group from the image. If I restart the browser, the width become normal until I drag n drop it again.

On the Firefox mobile app, closed tab groups still count toward the open tabs count on some screens. This is frustrating as someone who likes to keep track of my open, active tabs accurately.

Not sure if this is an intended feature or not, but it is frustrating nonetheless.

Firefox restores a window session from before the last time I closed the browser every time I start the browser.

At one point after reinstalling firefox I had two windows open with tabs in each. I closed the one window first with a couple worthless tabs in it before using the other tab that I'd used to continue browsing and continuing my various tab groups. Ever since then, EVERY TIME I launch firefox it launches that other window with its tabs first, although allows me to "restore previous session" overwriting all but the base tab. How the hell do I get it to fucking stop doing this? I just want the last window I closed to be the "previous session" but every single damn time it launches this unwanted window and tabs as the default! I've tried countless times to close the entire browser with the window I want but it still reverts to the previous window!

Today after i restarted my laptop (windows) and then I started firefox all the pinned and also the normal tabs were gone. I tried to follow different indications about restoring the previous session, but nothing showed up. All the tabs are gone.

As I need these tabs and this is obviously an issue of the software, PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP.

Is not possible that this happens every 1-2 months.

When using a tab inside a collapsed tab group, if "open link in new tab" option is used, the tab group expands unprompted. As a result I have to keep collapsing the tab group again and again and again, slowing down the browsing experience. Is there a fix for it?

What have you done to the Settings feature? It's a mess with those weird little icons on the side. I am just trying to figure out why my tabs keep closing on me. I can have about six tabs open with intention of going back to them, and then..poof.. they disappear. I went into Settings to see what I might have changed but I can't figure this out.

Hope you can help. thanks.
