I've been trying to decipher browser.tabs.insertXXX with little success. What I want to achieve is to open tabs from the same site next to the current tab with the most recently opened tab next to the original tab.

Example Two tabs are open, site 1 tab 1 and site 2 tab 1. Open a new link to site 1 on site 1 tab 1. The order is site 1 tab 1, site 1 tab 2, site 2 tab1. Open another link to site 1 on site 1 tab 1. The order is now site 1 tab 1, site 1 tab 3, site 1 tab 2, site 2 tab 1.

Thanks in advance.

When Firefox opens its first tab, when I enter a site a new (second) tab is opened. From that second tab, sites open in a new tab, or the same tab. But the very first tab remains empty and just takes up space.

What I'd like to see is the first site open in the first tab and then subsequent tabs open in new tabs. I don't have a home page set and don't need it. Is there someplace in settings that can I change this behavior?

This isn't a feature I ever needed or ever wanted. More than often, I accidentally group two or more tabs and have no idea how to ungroup them (yes, I know, there's some about:studies where I can remove stuff from grouped, BUT it's not a good mitigation). Firefox has been a great browser for decades. This new "feature" is rather disturbing than helpful. I understand some folks might need it, but please, at least provide a way to OPT OUT. Thank you!

How can I change the tabs' appearance so they appear as individual tiles instead of a continuous view?

All my tabs (I think they're tabs - on the menu bar just below the main menu at the top left of the home screen - have disappeared. I checked history, hoping to replace them and the returned. But now they've vanished again. Also, when FF opens, email screen displayed is 'primary' and it says there are no primary messages. I've always used 'all mail' so I go to that site (which is in a folder on the menu which is below the address bar) and click on it to get to mail.

How can I restore the missing tabs which were on the menu bar just above the address bar?

Many thanks.

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.

Hello. I have issue with Firefox. I am often opening firefox by command: firefox --no-remote -P <profil> --new-window "<web_site>" Usualy it works. But sometimes it is opening new window and my web_site is located in second tab. First tab (which is completelly unwated) start loading after clicking on it. It is a recently closed tab. I call this tab zombie-tab. It was finished and properly closed, however it rose from the dead. I tried to set in about:config browser.sessionstore lot of parameter to absolutelly forbid to save any information. However, there is still whole history in the list, sites are restorable and sometimes it appears these zombie-tabs. Restore from crash is also deactivated. I tried before to start the firefox without --no-remote parameter, but AI recommend me to add it there. It did not help. Since it is happening occasionally, I consider it as a bug. Some my settings: browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes = 0 browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo = 0 browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo = 0 browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash = 0 browser.sessionstore.cleanup.forget_closed_after = 149 Version: 140.7.0esr (64-bita) OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) How to prevent to create zombie-tabs?
