Firefox Support Forum

Same as this question, but the answer is outdated: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/839240

Is there a way to do this in the about:config page?

There is an answer about holding `Alt`, but that is a workaround.

This is the first time in 20 years I have had to query a change in a new Firefox version that is bot wanted.

I want to bookmrk a PAGE not a TAB.

How do I alter this please - or do I have to change to Safari

My tabs failed to open after a Firefox crash. There is nothing else than a 2 kb file in sessionstore backups. Is there anything else I can do, or is all lost? 1200 is a lot, and those tabs hold great value to me. So I'm kind of desperate right now. Any help would be immensely valued! (I will start using a session backup plugin for sure.)

Updated to version 89 and am not pleased with the visual/graphic interface changes. The tabs are very difficult to read. The new graphic layout fails to clearly identify each tab as a distinct entity or thing to be selected. The text just looks like a long string of text and in some instances of long names on a tab the text just fades away to nothingness.

Please make each tab a "distinct thing by creating a different colored edge on three (3) sides of the tab. Or perhaps have 3 levels of lightening/darkening the table to differentiate it from the background on which it is displayed.

Does the development team have a graphic designer and/or have the changes reviewed by a group of graphic designers?

Please change this please or put the user in charge of how they want it displayed.

All of a suddenly my webpages are about 2" square. I can force them to zoom, or stretch them but I'd really like to skip these steps and have things back the way they were before the latest update. I've tried several suggestions to no avail. Once fully opened, the rest all open fine. Anyone? TIA Alexa

Subject says it all. "How to revert to 'browser.tabs.ontop=false' functionality in Firefox 89.x?" I hate the Proton layout where tabs are now positioned at the top. I want to revert to what I had before — via an add-on, I think — because the new style creates visual dissonance. I HATE the new style. I want a layout that does not do my head in. I do not care that someone(s) in the development team thinks tabs.ontop is better; it is not better for me.

Hi! I do Duolingo on a daily basis. Many/most of the tasks comes with audio, and then... the tab changes size - to show a "Playing". A short time after the sound has stopped, it will change back. I react every time, and it is very disturbing. I really don't need to have such information in the tab/window, because I usually/always hear when Firefox is presenting sounds. I want to find somewhere to turn that "notification" off. Is that possible?

Help! In Firefox 89 (as in all previous) all open tabs lined up at the top (first screen shot). When I updated to 90, they disappeared and only one (current) tab shows up at bottom right (second screen shot). I cannot find a way to see all open tabs as before - only when I close the current tab will the entire lineup of open tabs show for a moment and then go back to the single current open tab. I can't work this way and it's driving me crazy. I've searched online, tried changing settings in about:config and nothing seems to want to put all open tabs back up top where they were. What am I missing? (More - I am trying to upload a screen shot and just get the spinning gear. The file is below the upload size limit. I'm going to try submitting this anyway.)

So, if I want to open a tab that exists in my current open Firefox to a new window, or a new private window(Good for accessing an alt account without logging out a main account), I have to right-click the taskbar icon for it, or the desktop icon, firefox's settings menu, or a keypress; navigate to the page, and log in.

It would be super convenient to send a tab to a new window or private window from right-clicking the desired tab, and selecting an option. Currently, (90.0..1), there is just a send to container option, which doesn't exactly accomplish what I am looking for.

This is purely QoL, but it would speed things up quite a bit.

Please Please Please Stop messing with my tabs. I now have a great big bar tab and I can barely see the info on the tabs. WTF Firefox? I was able to do a workaround in FF 89, but that doesn't work in the update of 91

Please, Please, Please give me a workaround to get back to old fashioned tabs, with separations between them and a black background so I can read the printing.

Thank you

Again WTF Firefox Developers. Why can't you leave well enough alone. This design is very hard for seniors. Please tell me how to get my tabs back to individual rounded tabs instead of one long tab. WTH. Sorry, I'm so angry right now because my husband is having sciatic issues and I have to deal w/this sh*t. Please someone tell me how to fix this 91.0 hot mess.

Thank you

Starting with a recent version of Firefox, I've noticed that after I need to restart the browser for updates, it has a hard time loading some of my tabs that require basic authentication. I have a primary (master) password configured to secure my logins, and it properly requests that password on start up. When I provide that password, some of my tabs that prompt me for the basic auth credentials pop up the dialog and everything is fine. However, I have one pinned tab (our Nagios page) that is using basic auth as well, and every time the browser starts up, it just hangs. It never asks for the password, and won't load. If I try to refresh the tab, it just empties the URL bar and continues to hang. I can't use that tab at all to browse anywhere.

I can choose Duplicate Tab from the right click menu to open a copy of the tab (not pinned), and that one will prompt me for the password properly. Eventually have to just close the pinned tab and re-pin and rearrange the new tab to get it back to normal. The next time I have to restart FF, I go through this again. I feel like this started happening once they changed the basic authentication prompt from a separate window to an inline prompt in the tab. I don't remember which version of FF that was introduced in.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar, and I can report a bug? Or maybe I am the only one in the whole world that this happens to (possible, I tend to go out of my way to find ways to disable new "features" that are added to FF, sometimes breaking things).

This is on Firefox 91 (but at least 90 also) on Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

Whenever I press a key on my keyboard (except when I'm typing) it starts finding the letter I pressed in the page I'm currently in. So whenever I press a hotkey on a website, it starts finding that letter instead of doing what that key was supposed to. I'm pretty sure this is a new feature because I never had this problem before.

While using Firefox if I click to open anew tab it automatically goes to it, even thought I have that option turned OFF in my settings.

Anyone know how to fix this?
