Firefox Community Forum

I've been using the expanding side bar feature for my tabs, and a few times now it has gotten stuck closed (won't expand at all on hover) or open (blocking the settings bar which expands behind it, and there seems to be only one way to resolve it - closing out of the whole window and re-opening). This is frustrating and not great for productivity as I need to toggle between tabs frequently for my work.

The Safari browser on my iPad has a handy feature where you can get it to make a list of all tabs in an open window. I've already searched through the help pages but I don't see this particular thing discussed. I absolutely love feature and hope that Firefox offers it. Or is it only available on a third party extension?

I'm using the latest version of Firefox. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

This has happened a few times and confused me but I figured it out tonight. I had a private window open and a regular window open and closed the regular one. When I reopened the regular one all of my pinned tabs were gone. This should be fixed, Firefox should differentiate between the windows and stop closing tabs on the regular window if it's closed before the private one. Kind of an odd thing.

I was able to recover my tabs with a json file thankfully but haven't been able to do so before as I had opened and closed multiple windows trying to figure out where the pinned tabs had gone and the "previous.json" had changed to those new open tabs. It might also be nice to have a few "previous.json" files be created instead of the single one for instances like this.

Liebe Wissende,

ich habe ein Problem. Beim gestrigen Hochfahren meines Rechners und Start von Firefox war meine ganze Struktur weg.

Tabs und Gruppen waren futsch und somit wurden alle darin gespeicherten Seiten ohne Struktur angezeigt. :-(

Wie kann ich die Gruppen wieder öffnen?

Online habe ich hierzu nichts gefunden.

Herzlichen Dank vorab!!!!

Liebe Grüße Sasha

when I click a url link from mail it opens a new firefox window instead of a new tab on existing window. I like to keep all tabs in one open firefox window. Firefox crashed last night and lost all of my tabs; I was able to restore but now having issues with email url links opening in a stand-alone new window - HOW do I revert to former option?

i had multiple tabs set up in multiple groups and i used yo restore these every day when i rebooted every morning and all that is lost to me now. i can see that the groups are there but can no longer use them. how can i uninstall mozilla firefox

Hi guys,

Just yesterday I had everything working fine, and today out of nowhere any time I close my browser trough X it resets back to default page and all my pinned browsers or unpinned just disappear.. It works with exiting trought shortcut or meniu, but it little annoying, I tried solutions provided in the treads but is there no way to revert back to just using X for exiting and have your previously closed tabs saved and restored upon opening app again?

There was no updates installed or any other changes made to my pc today. So it is very strange why out of the blue its like this right now.

I tried: 1. Troubleshoot mode (did not work) 2.I tried exiting trought shortcut/meniu exit (worked but not prefered solution as it will be very easly forgotten for split second and all tabs open will reset) 3. Tried unchecking reseting firefox and checking the box again (did not work)

Lost at this stage as I really loved using Firefox.

I set up a new Group with 14 tabs. From my main page I open the Group in a new window, peruse the 14 tabs, then save and close the Group. If I re-open the Group in a new window during he same main session, the Group opens in a new window perfectly. If I shut down the computer and re-open my main page a day later, AND then open the Group in a new window, one of the Group tabs opens in the main window and 13 open in the Group window. I then re-add the open tab from the main window to the open Group window. Again, I get the same behavior with all 14 tabs opening in the Group window during the same session, but only 13 in the Group window if I shut sown the computer and re-open a day later. Anyone have a solution??

Thank you!

I use a 2020-21 MacBook Pro. I ALSO use four different browsers for different types of things. Recently, ONLY IN FF have I been getting this little annoyance in the upper left-hand corner of the window when I open a new window. In don't get it anywhere else and cannot understand what a 'Cntrl-Click (Mac)' (right-click on that other platform) tells me about it. I WAS able to eliminate a SIMILAR nuisance about some sort of groups. The icon was a little box split into four sections. With both, the screen gets a white haze over it until clicking on the little box. . I have included a screen shot of the box in question. . Thanks in advance... .

1) First, how do I change preferences? Easy on my Mac desktop but how on my iPad?

2) I use Dogpile. I saw a notice that their website is for sale. Is that causing a problem in Firefox when going to one of the websites listed when I do a Dogpile search?

3) I went to a Reddit site using Dogpile. After viewing the Reddit suggestions etc, I tried to close out of it using the square box in upper right corner of Firefox. That has never before given a problem. This time when I clicked on it the tabs showed up as usual and with the x for closing them. Clicking on them did not close any of the tabs and did not show a flash, as if the tabs were nothing other than images. When I closed and reopened Firefox, Reddit was still the tab. I could not go to another website. This problem would not go away. I even closed and re-opened the Apple IOS and Reddit was still taking over Firefox.

4) How can I eliminate the requirement to enter passwords and all the security rigamarole when going to gmail, facebook and other sites?

5) Even now there are the number of tabs still showing in the square at the top right. There is a purple circle with the white eyes in it superimposed on the upper right corner of the box. I know that after I send these questions and go back to Firefox, Reddit will once more be in control.

6) Is there a better Firefox for Mac IOS than the one I now am using? Chrome is working better but I'd rather use Firefox.

I am using Firefox on a W11 64 desktop. Until recently (the most recent upgrade, I think) all worked well. But since then although the relevant box is ticked in settings (aboutpreferences general), on opening Firefox the tabs from the preceding session are NOT restored. This is extremely inconvenient.

Have any others found this same problem? Any work arounds?

Hi, Just looking into using Tab Groups. I can create a group, add or delete tabs from it, and the Save and Close Group. This Group is then visible to re-open from the List All Tabs option.

That is Great.

However, if I close Firefox, and re-open it, then that tab group has disappeared from the List All Tabs option.

Is that correct, or am I missing a setting somewhere ?

Starting with Firefox 147.0, new tabs appear at current tab position when clicking on URL. How can I revert back to new tabs appearing at end tab position when clicking on URL?

Ill listen to some music in a tab, then ill pause it, go do something else, then randomly after a long time, an hour or 2 it will resume itself after the tab being in that closed group for so long
