If I have two or more tabs open it happens very often that all tabs which are not in use are closed independently by the browser. At the same time Firefox independently creates bookmarks from some closed tabs in the bookmark toolbar. I always use the latest version of the brwoser and no extensions. I would be grateful for a solution. Thanks!

In the menu for choosing which tab to add to a split view, tabs with the name/link of the original do not show up. I would like this fixed, although this is really only a minor inconvenience when duplicating a tab to put it into split view.

Firefox Theme Modifies File Explorer Color

(Categorized as "accessibility" because I feel this is a vision-related issue - if I mistagged the topic please correct me... I don't know where aesthetic issues go.)

Image 1 is how the file explorer looks with a lighter Firefox theme (my main one), Image 2 is with a slightly darker theme. Both are primarily light blue, so I'm not sure why this has happened.

I have my computer and most websites I use on dark mode because I have an easier time reading white on black or dark grey than I do black on white when it gets later in the day. I want to be able to have the darker file explorer with my theme of choice, since light mode kind of burns my eyes...

Is this a new feature added in the most recent update, or something? I haven't had this issue prior to today - if it's a new thing, is there a way to turn off the light file explorer so that I don't have to change themes?

Hi,\

Over the past week or so, my homepage refreshes intermittently and all of the time when I close tab. When I am on my homepage to read (MSN), I typically use the right click command to open the links in a new tab so I can keep the article in the homepage there. Every time I close the news tabs, the homepage refreshes. If I am just sitting on the homepage for few minutes, it auto-refreshes.

This does not happen on Edge or Chromium and I have been back to Firefox because I want more control over not having AI functions and Chromium still has serious limitations. But this is annoying. I have tried changing as many of the relevant settings in about:config that I could find to no avail. My PC an All-in-One 6 core Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM, which is far more than enough to handle the memory hog Firefox is (sometimes it eats nearly 2 gigs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom

I accidentally hit keys and then I lose all my work.

When I use Firefox, I use CTRL key combinations to cut, copy, paste, and delete. I also use F5 to refresh a webpage.

Firefox uses many, many other key combinations and hotkeys, and a great number of them have caused the instant erasure of all the hours of work I had done on a webpage: The browser jumps to another tab, or it goes fullscreen (one of the Function keys does this), or it opens a new window, or it opens a History window, or it does any number of things which I neither want nor need.

I require only to use the key combinations and hotkeys to perform the functions that I have listed, above. But if I must sacrifice them in an overall disable, then I will do so.

Please tell me how to disable the key combination commands and hotkeys in Firefox.

I'm absolutely dying for this feature, it is a lifesaver in Vivaldi and Opera and other browsers, the extension options simply don't work the same as they only work when the website has finished loading and in case I've clicked on the wrong link I have to wait for it to load to go back or lose my train of thought whenever I am using this browser after a while because I'm used to the Rocker Gestures to go back and forward. Please implement this feature into the base browser, thank you very much
