Firefox Community Forum

I'm stunned. I decided to try the "tab holder" feature that just appeared at the top of my sidebar with open tabs. I don't know why, but the tab holder went away, and with it the entire sidebar went blank. All my open tabs, my visual memory bank of places I frequent, just vanished.

I'm sick. Totally disabled by this.

Is there a place where newly added features are discussed, with instructions, etc.?

And how can I get my old sidebar list of tabs to come back?

How do I turn off the sliding arrows so I can see all my pinned tabs at once? I do not like the pinned websites to be hidden?! Wish you would stop changing things.

I’m new to Firefox and found the Textfox theme on GitHub, which is pretty cool. However, I’m having trouble with the pinned tab size, they’re too small. It seems the theme’s creator fixed this by using Sidebery, but I don’t want to use that extension. Is there a way to change the pinned tab size without Sidebery?

Hello, My firefox, I have from top to bottom, Tabs bar, search bar, bookmarks My problem is that the tabs are very large. I don't know how I did this.. partially because I had to enlarge type.. I like tabs to show what I'm on and go back and forth sometimes but would like to get them smaller. is that possible? IE: my Home button shows up as a Tab, so I can't even x out of it without firefox closing. I always thought my home button was just beside my bookmarks.. Oh well.. if someone has any ideas, please let me know.. Thanks in advance, Linda

Hi, I've been using tab groups for a while and i had some pretty important tabs save there. I wanted to know if they get deleted after a while or not, Because all of mine suddenly disappeared. And also is there anyway to get them back?

As stated, when I close browsers usually some random group of tabs, usually at the starting left side, will be moved to the end of tabs. I need to go in and manually select them and send them to the start or manually move them. Sometimes another group that was to the right of the starting tabs shows up in front of those moved to the end. I have 4 working windows with multiple tabs open. When all are closed, say as to reboot, the last one I was in usually is the one effected. Happens probably 7 or 8 times out of 10 closings.

First, why does the "recently closed tabs" doesn't work if you close an entire firefox window?

second, why isn't there a place to search through your tab groups?

I just accidentally closed a firefox window with a lot of tabs, including unnamed tab groups.

This is a pain for all browsers, but firefox took it a step further.

There is a "recently closed tab" page which is really convenient, until you need it most when you accidentally close multiple ones. On top of that, I lost multiple unnamed group tabs.

Am I missing something, or is the experience still subpar? I've been a power user of firefox for years now, and I get why I get clowned by chrome users ngl.

Good morning,

I have been experiencing many issue in reopening closed tabs from the history menu after closing firefox. I can click it, but nothing happens. It ends up with me reopening sometimes 30+ tabs manually, which so inconvenient.

Any lead?

Thanks in advance

After restarting the browser, open tabs are not saved even though this option is enabled in the settings. Could you fix this? I’d also like videos to automatically switch to picture-in-picture mode when changing to another tab, without having to press a button for it.

I had so many instances of firefox and tabs that i decided i must organize them on tabgroups, i read they were secure enough and would be restored along with open tabs on new session. But after restarting all my "close and save" tab groups are missing! are they still saved? how can i recover them?

I have asked, before, and insofar I am aware, was ignored. I click a link on a page. The new page and tab used to appear next the to 'parent' page, ie the page where the link was. For a while now, this is NOT happening. The new page appears SOMEWHERE off to my right. I now have to shuffle between 2 related tabs. If the second page has a link I need to follow, that page appears SOMEWHERE else off to the right also. Now I have 3, related pages, remote from each other. I could drag them together, but why do I have to? In any case, when done with 3 I close it, when done with 2 I close it. Next item on 1 and start the whole debacle all over again. What I'm saying is why can related pages not appear next to each other? Logical for me and way less frustrating. In the screen capture, see the yellowish heart-shaped tabs. Why are there 3 other unrelated tabs in between?

OK, I am a heavy user of tab groups in Firefox (glad to get off Chrome once this was available). Unfortunately, Bookmark All Tabs only saves the open tabs in my Firefox window. It Does Not save anything inside a tab group that isn't opened - AND it doesn't save any of the tab group structure - ex. the group, what is inside it, etc.

IS there some way to properly save all the tab information (groups and tabs inside those groups) in Firefox? There is in Chrome by the way. IF there isn't, has someone out there produced an extension to do this??

Seems like a big oversight in the intro of tab groups if there is really no way to do this...

I do the Bookmark All Tabs for backup and have needed it many times in my Chrome past usage.

Thanks in advance

When switching tabs using the MRU menu (Ctrl+Tab), it only shows 7 of the most recent tabs. However, oftentimes I need to jump back further down in the history. This history *is* kept in the Firefox View tab. Is there any way I can extend the number of recent tabs shown in the Ctrl+Tab menu?

Or at least in the "List All Tabs"? It currently is set to show the tabs in natural order and not MRU.

Not performing as it should. I have Windows 11 on PC. Open in a new tab should always show above open a new window. When I click on a link that is above the halfway point on the page I never see or have the option to open in a new tab. Open in a new window always is at the top.

If I am on a new page and the link is above the halfway point on the page I can't scroll the page down to have the link below the halfway point. If I am am on a page that I can scroll the link below the halfway point, Open in a new tab will show above open in a new window.

How can I get a new page with a link above the halfway point to have open in a new tab show? I have Firefox 146.0 (64-bit). It is up to date.
