Dear Firefox specialist,

does Firefox plan to implement the functionality to group tabs? such functionality is basic for many other browsers. and it's strange to use add-ons for the most popular browser.

How to restore previous sessions from old hard drive that died

My old hard drive died I couldn't recover it. I cannot mount the disk to another OS etc. The session files cannot be retrived. However I had over 100 tabs open in Firefox I want to retrieve before the disk crashed. I was signed in to firefox all the time in the old computer.

I now have a new computer, I signed in to firefox and I can recover the bookmarks. But I don't see any option to recover the lots of tabs and sessions from my previous dead disk. It seems there is tab sync options between 2 devices that is concurrently signed in. But I can't sign in to a dead disk. I also can't recover the file.

How can I reteive my old sessions with many tabs? I'm hoping firefox have a way of knowing all my tabs since I was signed in and sync before the disk crash.

Hi

I just clicked on my Firefox to open it and was met with a new update tab, and all my tabs had disappeared, which I have had happen to me in the past and ended up losing everything after closing Firefox and reopening it again.

So with that in mind I went to History and everything was greyed out, and so had no option but to close my browser, thinking that maybe that it had opened that one to tell me about the update and if I reopened it all my tabs would be there. Is there anyway I can retrieve all my tabs?.

Thanks

is there any way i can roll back the most recent firefox update? i updated firefox on june 12th and ever since than, i can not use firefox or open any tabs due to it continuously crashing over and over with no recovery. it is so bad that i had to go to microsoft edge just to report this problem, because i can not get firefox to open anything beyong my homepage without crashing the tabs. please email me at gnralee01@yahoo.com this is infuriating and i have to now use microsoft edge for my browsing because i can not use firefox until you fix this. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox 3 seperate times and i still get the same results. firefox worked great prior to the june 12th update.

This is really annoying. I've had that feature disabled since I first started using Firefox as I feel it defeats the purpose of incognito tabs to make it obvious when you have them open, and I prefer keeping all my tabs organized in a specific way

I've checked about:config and that feature is still set to false, I've checked about:studies and there's nothing that looks like it would impact private browsing. I've tried restarting both Firefox and my computer, the tabs are still separate

Anyone have any ideas on what to do now?

When I logged onto Firefox this morning it asked me to update which I did. When I got onto Firefox all my tabs were gone. Please tell me if I did something to cause this and how to keep this from happening again. I do have it set up to restore tabs when logged off and starting up again. Also please tell me how to get my tabs back! I tried to follow instructions for this but actually didn't have the things they said to click on. Thanks so much for your help!!

Hello, I am using Firefox on a new computer, and I have a bizarre problem that I never experienced on other computers. The 'recently closed tabs' and 'recently closed windows' options are disabled. They are grey, and I can't click them (see image). Also, the 'reopen closed tab' when you right-click one of the tabs is disabled (grey). I have tried to search everywhere why it can happen and found nothing. Any advice on how to enable this option? Thanks

It used to be that Firefox had different containers. I kept separate ones for shopping, banking, Facebook, etc. Now I had to erase my MacBook Pro IOS, and after a few days of trying to use Safari, I installed Firefox. But I can no longer see the possibility of using containers. I found them particuarly helpful when I had more than one account for a certain platform - with containers, I didn't need to sign out and sign in to switch users. It also (supposedly) kept Facebook from tracking our interests. Has Firefox done away with containers? Or have I simply forgotten what they are called (buckets, maybe?). I searched and searched the help articles to no avail. If they have done away with them, why?

By the way, Chrome (which I had to use at work) started offering a similar product and it was also very helpful.

Is there a functionality to view Tabs Side-by-Side, or Vertical yet? Or is there a plan for it; similar to the recent version of Edge Chromium? I have read several questions; and their work-around solutions of using a side bar or sing two windows and arranging them side-by-side. Neither functionality offers synchronized scrolling. I used Tile Tabs or We Tabs add-on in the past which was great.

I have a problem with opening multiple tabs and displaying graphics on pages. I have to verify about 2000 pages and I open 10-20 each time. unfortunately, graphics are not displayed on them - written content and formatting are loaded, but without graphics. When I open pages one at a time, this problem does not occur. When I open 5 pages at once, at least one of them does not have any graphics loaded, the rest have them. How to make graphics load like in Chrome - on all open tabs en masse?

Hello, I used to have Microsoft Teams as a pinned tab (in fact I think it was my first pinned tab), which I no longer need as I now have the Teams app on my computer. I have tried unpinning the Teams tab but whenever I close & reopen Firefox, it reappears - it doesn't show up initially, but will pop up 5-10 seconds after Firefox starts (my other pinned tabs show up straight away) - so I have to close it each time. Not a big issue I know but kinda annoying - any suggestions/solutions?
