I am writing to report an issue I’ve been experiencing with your browser. Despite setting the startup option to “Continue where you left off,” my open tabs are not being restored when I reopen the browser.

I have already taken the following steps to troubleshoot the issue:

   Confirmed that “Continue where you left off” is enabled in the settings
   Ensured I am not using incognito/private mode
   Disabled all extensions to rule out conflicts
   Verified that the browser is up to date
   Checked for tab recovery options in history

Even after trying all these measures, the problem persists. I kindly request your assistance in resolving this issue.

Please let me know if you require any system logs or additional information.

Thank you for your support.

After having created a couple of tab groups with some of the numerous tabs that were already open in my browser (Firefox, of course) and then closing and reopening the browser shortly after, no tabs at all reopened even though this is my normal setting for Firefox: open all previous tabs when opening firefox. This setting had always worked before - as it does now with the new tabs. However, all my previous tabs as well as the freshly created groups have vanished. Do you have an explanation and ideally a way of recovering the tabs - or the groups at least? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Kerstin

Firefox 138.0.1, MacOS Monterey 12.3

PDF files: settings is set to "Always ask" (see attached) However, when I click on a PDF link, and get the dialog "Open With" is grayed out, and the only option available is "Save File" (see attached screenshot). (A few weeks or months ago it all worked correctly.)

Is there a way to get "Open" working again?

After a Firefox update, my bookmarks menu, which was on the left side of the screen vanished. I have not been able to restore it. When I click the bookmark box (at the top of the page) I get three choices showing up on the upper left side of the screen. 1) Summarize , brainstorm, etc. 2) Tabs from other devices. and 3) History. So how do I get bookmarks???

Some Links Opening Second/Third Instances of Firefox Despite Firefox already Being Open

My problem is as described in the subject line: I'm getting multiple instances of Firefox opened when I click links from email or web pages.

This just started happening within the last couple of days. In the past, whenever I opened a link a new window was opened in the already open instance of Firefox. Somehow some setting has been changed (a guess) that has caused a change in behavior.

Firefox is my default browser, but I do keep Chrome open for some testing of HTML/CSS I'm writing. Chrome is NOT my default browser.

I did some searching without finding anything I understood well enough to implement.

I would appreciate any help with this issue as having multiple instances of the app running is driving my octogenarian brain nuts.

Typically, I have about 6 windows open at a time with about 20 tabs in each window. Previously, I was able to shut down my computer and all of them would reopen again. But, today is the second day in a row that that hasn't worked even though I have Open Previous Tabs & Windows checked off in the settings.

I would appreciate figuring this out as it's a pain in the ass opening everything again.


  • I just noticed that Firefox is supposed to open automatically. This doesn't happen either.

I'm using a LG laptop running Windows 11.
