Heeeeeeeelp,

since yesterday, I can not use the tabs propperly anymore: when I make a google search, and I click on a link, it pops up a new tab, and the google search tab closes. so I can not go back to my search, since it is a new tab and it has no previous page. my previous serch tab, is closed, the only way to acess it is to reopen closed tab. this is very annoying.

I only had this problem when I was geting a facebook search result, this always poped up in a new tab and closed the search tab.

but now it happens all the time what is the problem? regards f.

Hello FF/Moz Community,

I want to right-click on links and open them in a new tab (easy). BUT I want to stay on the original tab where I'm clicking the links. Currently when I right-click a link FF opens the new tab and I'm moved to active tab. The original tab is one or ten tabs to the left.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Thank you.

I would love it if I was able to group tabs in Firefox. Many other browsers are able to do this, but I love using Firefox and don't want to switch. However, I will if this functionality isn't implemented. I understand that grouping used to be a feature, so I am assuming it wouldn't be that hard to implement. Thank you!

I recently deleted the file with firefox settings (can't remember the name) cause i was unable to what netflix/hbo. now however, whenever i open firefox my pinned tabs (16 tabs) does not reload the pages as in does not refresh the content of the page. it use to refresh the page inside these pinned tabs when i open firefox but now the pages are still the old version. i have to refresh these pinned tabs manually.

so is there any settings to make these pinned tabs to actually refresh the page when i open firefox? i'm confuse why firefox it still shows that its loading the page cause it actually show the same page content that was a day before.

Sometimes when loading a page, and the page is slow to respond, I will see a strange situation: The page is totally blank (the F12 tool does not display page content). The refresh button is gray (disabled), or sometimes although the refresh button enabled, the url textbox is "about:blank", which means I cannot actually reload the page I want to read. I have to re-navigate to the page through the link in the previous link. I'm not sure whether I got across. I hope the issue can be fixed.

Middle-click to open link in new tab will mostly open in background but sometimes switch to it immediately

About 99% of the time when I middle-click a link in order to open it in a new tab, it will open the tab in the background. However, every once in a while middle-clicking will open the link in a new tab and switch to it immediately.

I want the tabs to be opened in the background, and my Firefox preferences are set accordingly (i.e., I have not enabled "When you open a link, image, or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately").

Is this a bug, or am I unknowingly modifying my middle click to trigger switch-immediately somehow? If I am, I'd like to know how because there are some times when I'd like to open a link in a new tab and switch to it immediately—just not at random 1% of the time.

I run firefox 98.02 on several devices, on linux (Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, Ubuntu Studio) and at some point either the windows devices which still have send tab to device menu item are not sending or the linux device is not receiving the tab. The latter is probable as the menu item is no longer in the menu. Is there an "about:config" setting to get that back? Thanks.

Hey, with the latest firefox update I have a problem dowloading pdf files from Whatsapp web. When downloading the pdf it automatically opens up in the same tab, effectively closing whatsapp web. Very annoying, especially when im trying to look at multiple files send in the chat, because every time i need to open whatsapp web again. Instead of opening the file in the same tab I would like it to open either in a new tab or a new window but can't find any settings option that would allow me to do so.

This is unbelivable in my opinion. I have lost my last session after updating the Firefox. I hve used Firefox more than 10 years. I am a researcher at a university. My last session is so valuable because I spent weeks to reach some academic sources and articles. And all of those were opened as different pages in my last session. Normally, I have "restore my session after every closing/opening the Firefox setting. However, after the last update, this feature did not worked and I have lost the session. I am waiting to hear solutions from responsible people. If this problem would not solve, I will share my story with everyone I can reach.

So, a few minutes ago, I was trying to open a tab, and suddenly my tabs froze. When I clicked on the tabs, nothing happened. I couldn't get back to any of the pages I was on. So I exited the browser, and when I reopened the browser, even my pinned tabs were gone. This has happened a few times in the past. I used to just brushed it off, but I don't have the patience right now. What if this happens when I'm in the middle of typing out an essay? What if my progress isn't saved then? I can't have that happening, so I need to know. What should I do when my tabs are frozen and unresponsive?

Hello all,

I'm having an issue with my FF browser and opening tabs. When I hold ctrl and left click on a video, it opens the video in a new tab (which I want) but it opens the tab twice. This doesn't happen on every site I visit. I opened FF in troubleshoot (safe) mode and this issue still occurred. I thought that maybe its the mouse on my laptop but I opened Chrome and didn't have this issue at all. Is there anyway to fix this? It isn't a huge problem, just a major inconvenience that I'd rather not have to deal with. Thanks in advance.

My old same tabs open over and over again each day even though i have closed them!! I lost all my most current tabs and haven't been able to get current tabs even though I ask to restore current tabs I got very old ones. they are lost. I just want it to stop loading the same old tabs that I close each day I have to close 16 tabs. leaving only one tab open then close Firefox. then restart my pc and the same very old tabs come up each time. I have done this at least 10 times. I eventually tried to restore history of one tab opened to try to get something different -- when I closed my browser I only had one tab open. I have been having this problem since I tried to pin some tabs about a week ago and I have been having this problem since. Please help! I need a lot of support.

Is it possible to password protect one specific tab?

I have a tab with my gmail open, and I use google to login to other sites, so it is sensitive. Some months ago my computer was remotely hacked and someone could get into my mail through firefox when I was not using it. I would prefer not having to log out every other minute and keep receiving email notifications, but make it impossible for someone to open that tab and poke around.

Note: I use Malwarebytes Premium since then, so maybe this is no longer necessary.
