Hello,

I have grouped several tabs, I believe there were 3 groups in total. When I close Firefox and open it again at a later time, the grouped tabs are gone, but I was able to retrieve the groups by right clicking and selecting the hidden group.

Ever since the new update, the groups dissolve when I close Firefox and I can not open them again. The Edge Browser has it implemented such that groups stay, so when you close and open the browser, they stay greyed out on the side bar.

So, is this just a problem with my device, the new update or Firefox in general?

It would be really nice if this problem could be solved, such that I can keep groups even after closing the browser. And I can delete groups only when I want to.

Wish you all the best Teddy

This is a followup to a previous post. I pinned a tab in firefox, and later deleted the webpage that was pinnned. I do not see a way to edit the pin, so I deleted it and created a new one with the new, updated webpage. I use the sync feature to keep all of my browser settings the same across three computers. I have tried multiple approaches to correct the problem. 1. turned off the sync and manually unpinned the tab, cleared the cache and browser history, checked to be sure I do not have the option to reload previous tabs turned on, booted in the mode that does not load any plugins, rebooted the computers 2. with sync turned off, after all of those steps, I opened the new page and pinned it on each computer. when I close the browser and reopen it on any computer, the original pinned tab returns. Turning the sync back on or re-enabling the option to sync tabs and history have no effect.

Is there a way, even if it´s within the configuration files, to change that pinned tab or block the old one from opening? Note that the website for the old and the new pinned tab is the same. the difference is the page itself. the old tab was [website].administration-landing. the new page is [website].admin-lp.

The is no reason why the old page, which no longer exists, continues to be pinned in the browser, but I can´t get rid of it.

Please help. Thanks.

At some point a few days ago I accidentally dragged the divider that separates the pinned and vertical tabs. As a result, for the last few days, I have been stuck with the divider being in a fixed position no matter how hard I try. The problem is that I use collapsed sidebar by default and can't reposition it for the collapsed tabs state, and as a result, there's a mismatch in how many pinned tabs I can see when hovered and when unhovered, among other issues

If possible, I'd love to just reset the position to how it was before, that being that it would show maximum pinned tabs and scroll the normal tabs, and do so for both collapsed and uncollapsed tabs, but I haven't found a way yet

I've tried dragging the divider to the very bottom, but that didn't work either and it'd eventually reset

It has happened recently that when I clicked on something Firefox takes me to a different window opens in a new tab and I had to go back to the tab that I was on for that click. Is this something new that Firefox does to generate ad revenue?

Tab groups disappear when window closes, another group adds all the closed group's tabs. This is stupid. When I restart Firefox, or it decides to close, or restart, or whatever, if I have more than one tab group in the window, all the following groups disappear. And then they are added to the remaining group. So then I need to remove them from that group and put them back in the original . This is ridiculous. Why don't all groups remain in the same window with all their tabs intact and not redistributed?

Why FF is resetting all tabs during an update, like the last one? The tabs cannot be restored automatically. It does not happen with each update...but it's annoying when you have several tabs. Thanks for taking that into account. Yves

Bonjour, Quand je redémarre Firefox (ou que je redémarre l'ordinateur, ce qui revient au même), je perds tous mes onglets épinglés, ainsi que les onglets que j'ai groupés. Je trouve cela assez dommage et gênant car je dois les ré-ouvrir un à un pour les épingler ou les grouper de nouveau. Y a-t-il un paramètre permettant d'éviter cela, ou une correction prochaine à ce problème ? Merci d'avance, Henri

Firefox restores a window session from before the last time I closed the browser every time I start the browser.

At one point after reinstalling firefox I had two windows open with tabs in each. I closed the one window first with a couple worthless tabs in it before using the other tab that I'd used to continue browsing and continuing my various tab groups. Ever since then, EVERY TIME I launch firefox it launches that other window with its tabs first, although allows me to "restore previous session" overwriting all but the base tab. How the hell do I get it to fucking stop doing this? I just want the last window I closed to be the "previous session" but every single damn time it launches this unwanted window and tabs as the default! I've tried countless times to close the entire browser with the window I want but it still reverts to the previous window!

Google YouTube embeds itself in my List-All-Tabs Group and hops from Tab to Tab when I close the Tab it has embedded itself into. See the content of the Tab it is embedding itself into. I've written a description in the image. It's very annoying. Thanks!

In the tabs setting there is a box for when you open a new tab it does not immediately go to it. Both my middle click and right click open new tab both instantly send me to the new tab window even with the setting off. The setting does nothing for me, plz help me fix this i just downloaded firefox and this is a big problem for me. thanks

Tab group name's width get maximized after dragging it to other place. Please refer to the third tab group from the image. If I restart the browser, the width become normal until I drag n drop it again.

Dear Firefox, I am a new user, so I must apologize in advance for how naive I may be. I had attempted to search for my answer online, but did not find it.

I was previously on Chrome, and enjoy the tab interface there. As I move to Firefox, I notice that instead of having all my tabs listed at once, after some point I instead am met with "Scroll forwards" and "Scroll backwards" options.

I understand that this may look cleaner and less cluttered to some, but I personally dislike this, as I took comfort in the organized chaos of my many tabs - I was able to navigate through with ease, a single click to open the tab I desired rather than scrolling through my many tabs, which I feel may become incredibly annoying and inconvenient for me.

Is there any way to fix this?

One of the more particular habits I have retained after switching from Chrome to Firefox is putting things in Tab Groups. This works great on Chrome as groups are more-or-less visual, and don't make a mess once you've closed them. On Firefox, however, I've noticed one really annoying thing: tab groups are saved in a giant list. Part of my workflow results in making Tab Groups with the same name as some of my bookmarks. When using the address bar to go to the bookmark will result in the tab group of the same name being brought up. For various purposes, this is decidedly unhelpful. In addition, when using the "Recent Tab Groups" drop down, it is rather annoying to see an entire screen's worth of tab groups being saved, especially when they all have the same(ish) name.

Is there a way to disable this saving of tab group names (and contents)? Clearing it out manually gets very annoying.

Before when I was on 152.0.6, everything was working great and once I updated, tab dragging is disabled even though in about:config the value is set to true, meaning it should work. One thing is that if you drag it, there will be a white box for a split second then nothing, and it sometimes moves 1mm and then snaps back.

Hello,

I am wondering where I can find all of my saved tab groups. The chevron icon in the top right only shows the 5 groups I most recently saved, and there is no way to expand it to see all of the groups I currently have saved.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I am using Windows 11 on both my desktop and laptop. I began using vertical tabs a ways back. On my desktop I am able to scroll through the active vertical tabs with the mouse. But, I am unable to scroll the vertical tabs on my laptop. I have compared the Firefox settings on both computers and have been unable to find any settings that are different which could be applicable.

Windows 11 expensive high performance tower PC. When I am closing Firefox I am warned that I am about to close 80+ tabs although. I actually had only 13 tab groups (closed) and one ordinary tab open (The New York Times) I close Firefox anyway and ALL the group tabs disappeared.

Sometimes, when I am warned that I am closing 80+ tabs, they luckily they haven't disappeared upon restarting Firefox. This happens often.

I know how to reconstruct my tab Groups proceeding from listing all tabs.

Sometimes the tab groups don't disappear. It makes no difference whether I start a Firefox session on my just rebooted PC (and run PC for a minutes only using Firefox) or not. When I recently closed Firefox I could see from task manager that there was minor activity showing in the Firefox app which surprised me. I hope you have an idea of what might be occurring. I'm not a novice, I purchased my first PC in 1989

Thank you, Anita
