Firefox has a feature where, if you select a tab and drag your cursor downwards while still pressing down on it, it will open that tab in a new window. Is there any way to disable this? I am frequently opening tabs in new windows when I'm just trying to view them and it drives me mad. I never use this feature intentionally- I am constantly using on accident due to quickly moving my cursor away from the tab bar to view the tab I just opened. Thank you.

When I restart Firefox, or my PC wakes from sleep, my Firefox windows are all in a different order.

Also a number of Firefox windows often just die or don't appear on restarting Firefox.

Is there a way to make sure that the Firefox windows appear in the same order and number as before?

At the moment I have to close Firefox windows and start them manually loading tabs from bookmarks. I would have thought that there must be a better way but I can't find it.

It seems as if Firefox should number the windows and keep a list of tabs open in each window, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

What am I missing? Is there a setting I need to change?

I'm running Windows 11 Pro

Windows 10; Firefox 141.0

According to the "View recent browsing across windows and devices" command:

"Window 2 is current" and there is "Window 1" (which contains recent work)

My question(s):

How can I switch from window 2 (current) to window 1 (recent work)? and/or How can I combine both windows?

Thank you. (For your information, I have had a partial stroke, and I am 79 years old.)

Firefox overwrites current tab with "homepage" tab on start up

Since the last Firefox update, I've noticed an issue whenever I launch the browser. I have it set up so that I have multiple tabs open, and it's set up so that when Firefox starts up, it opens all of the previous tabs and starts me on the tab I was on when I closed the browser previously.

Now whenever I start Firefox, it opens to the last tab I was on, but said tab opens on my current homepage instead of the website that tab was on previously. I experimented by changing my homepage to "Youtube.com", picked a different open tab, closed Firefox and opened it again and sure enough, the tab was now on the Youtube page instead of what it had been previously.

Is this just a bug of the current Firefox version, or is there something in settings I can do to fix this?
