I love Firefox and usually work with a well organized set of about 40 tabs that are pinned for easy access. Occasionally i will open a page in "new window" so that I can make better use of multiple screens. If I inadvertently or quickly close the window with all my pinned tabs first, and then close the singular "new" window, all my tabs are gone. and of course the open previous or recently closed window only opens the on with no tabs. Is it possible to save the all tabs, or a "master" or "default" window?

I recently updated to windows 11 and now when I open firefox my tabs are no longer there. I have repeatedly gone into settings and checked "open previous windows and tabs". Dosnt work. Still opens to a blank browser with only one 'new tab' present. Most troublesome since having my tabs for my email addresses, calender and google keep come up each time is a big time saver for me. Ive been doing this for years and thanked mozilla silently many times for this. But now Whats Up???

Hope someone can help. I see it was posted last year but none of the response makes sense/applies to me.

I just made the switch from Chrome to Firefox, and I'm still trying to understand the small differences that exist between the 2 browsers.

While on Twitter, what I usually do is middle-click with my mouse on a Tweet to a new tab that I want to look into later, then continue scrolling down my timeline, then check out the Tweets I opened in the new tab(s). However, when I try to do the same thing on Firefox, it automatically opens the new tab. Because of how Twitter works, this also reloads the Home page when I opened it up, so I just lose anything I was just looking at when I opened the Tweet in a new tab.

What can I do differently here?

Firefox says there is a problem and gives me the option of opening in troubleshooting mode or refreshing Firefox. Opening in troubleshooting mode doesn't solve the problem so I want to try refreshing Firefox - how can I avoid losing all my open tabs (I have many)? Thank you for any help/guidance.

I remember using Firefox before and when I clicked a regular link , it would open it in the current tab, but when I used my MMB, it would open a new tab. I can get either one to work individually, but not at the same time. Is there a way to have both active at the same time?

Dear Firefox Team, since updating, I've been enjoying the new Firefox View function. Sadly, as I'm using a few tweaks here and there (vertical tree tabs, modified chrome.css to remove horizontal tabs, etc.), its not visible at the place where it originally belongs. Because of that I'm searching for a way to include it in my workflow. To do this, I've made it my Homepage, and now, I'm trying to change it to my NewTab page as well. I find it more useful than clicking on a random website. I have tried to achieve this with addons and inside about:config; but as you know, "about:newtaburl" has been removed a long time ago.

Do you have an Idea how I could achieve this, or do you think it would be possible to create an option to this in a future release?

Thank you for reading my message, who knows maybe I can give you an Idea

I just installed Firefox on a new computer and am having lots of issues w/set-up. I found the place in settings that lets you chose the home page and how new tabs are displayed, but the only options for new tabs seem to be Mozilla's default and blank page. For now I've set it to blank page but I'm trying to find a way that any new tab I open defaults to google. Thank you for your help.

In shutting down and restarting the computer yesterday, it seems that an upgrade, or some sort of change, took place with the Firefox program. Now the tabs are a bright, loud orange in color, causing the appearance of individual tabs to melt together. In addition, the scroll bar is a tomato soup orange. I just want to return to the former eye-friendly colors, which never drew my attention. Now I almost dread having to log on it is so severe. Please tell me exactly what steps are needed to return to the former palge look. Thank you.

After installing the new version 106.01, restoring recently closed windows in History doesn't work even though it is highlighted as being active, but nothing shows or happens when pointing at and clicking on "Recently Closed Tabs".

(I accidently closed one of my two windows and therefore lost all my tabs.) (I know I can restore the tabs one by one, but that will be a huge task.

So what can I do to restore my lost Firefox window?

Thanks in advance. Jens Giertsen Denmark

So all of the sudden Firefox stopped saving my previous session when I close the window (by clicking the x button on the window) It does save the previous session if I exit by going to Menu>>Exit (or Ctrl+Shift+Q) but I prefer to close it by clicking the X button on the window.

I did find out one way to fix it and that is by making a new profile but I lose all the bookmarks, settings, etc. if I do that...


My question is if there is a way to fix this without creating a new profile?

If not, can someone tell me what folder/file corresponds with:

  • Firefox settings
  • Firefox appearance settings like toolbar customization and similar (not sure if that one is stored in the same file as general settings)
  • Extensions and extensions settings

I want to move just those folders/files into a new profile, I'm too lazy to set up everything again...

I'm on the latest version of Firefox, 106.1, and I'm missing the Firefox View button on my MacBook Pro 13". It is showing on my Mac Mini M1, and both are logged in and syncing properly using my Firefox account.

When I type in about:firefoxview on my MacBook Pro in the URL bar, I see the page but noticed it says "New colorways are on the way" on the right. On my Mac Mini, I see the "Independent Voices" text and an option to "Try colorways".

Bug? Some weird setting on my MacBook? Both are running macOS Monterey, 12.6.

Hi, yet again, I've opened Firefox to find just one tab, a Mozilla ad in this case; the 40 or so tabs I had open are gone. I had prepped for a day's work ahead and had opened the tabs I needed for research and work, ready to start in the morning. I don't know what's causing it; I do know that this most often happens when I've shut down Firefox, then go to Thunderbird for a last check of emails, and click on a link in an email which opens Firefox.

Is this a bug? Does Firefox just not like being opened via an email link? Is it a problem if a Firefox private window has been left open inadvertently, even though Firefox was properly shut? Or is it just Firefox updates that cause this problem? It's been happening for a while now, and is really frustrating and costly, workwise. Yes, I do have restore previous session ticked. I've shared the data report below - at the time of this post, not at the time of opening Firefox. Any help would be really appreciated, especially if it's simply explained :) Thank you
