How do I access the tab overview menu when using vertical tabs?

Hi a few well known sites annoyingly load booking.com in a new tab on my firebox browser. I cant stand this it is intrusive. How to I stop firefox from doing this - I have block pops setting enabled but does not help.

Offending sites to name but a few are ryanair, thetrainline, and a few others. Is there a way to stop this without stopping other legitimate needed new tabs such as with Gmail login

thanks D.

I've just updated Firefox to 136.0 and found the "return closed tab" key became blank and ineffective. I read the update log but didn't find infomation about this change. The function was useful to me and I hope to get it back.

I currently have Firefox to open at startup showing three different websites. When I open a new window, the same three sites are open. I would prefer all new windows to open with one new tab only. I don't much care whether that new tab displays some sort of blank page or home page or a website I have chosen or whatever.

I can't find a setting or an extension which allows this. Can anyone help?

I have over 2000 tabs stored in multiple tab groups using the Legacy extension "TAB GROUPS" in Firefox 56. I recognize this is out of date and I was going to migrate the tabs to the current version. I was unaware that Tab Group would no longer be verified as of March 14. I need to save all of the tabs in TAB GROUPS to favorites. Is there someway to temporarily enable TAB GROUPS so I can recover the websites? Is there a session file that has the websites that I can access? Help - I am in desperate need!

When I open Firefox browser around ten several weeks old tabs are there. It is not set in the setting to open. I did many attempts to get rid of this nuisance and they are still here. I Created new profile, erased all profiles, removed Firefox, and reinstalled with option not to use old setting since new installation found that the fire fox has been installed. And frustration part that Mozilla do not offer (as I know) support to fix this problem. This glitch is hidden somewhere and the program always find it an put it back. I am not sure if what to do as I run out of options, other than turn to another browser after many years using only Firefox with no problems at all. Thanks Ned

I love using the sidebar button (not the permanent vertical sidebar, but the button in the main toolbar that pops up a sidebar when I want it).

However, I want it to default to Synced Tabs, but it always defaults to Bookmarks whenever I restart Firefox. I already have a bookmarks toolbar, and don't need them in the sidebar.

Is there a setting somewhere that would let me set the default to Synced Tabs?

Hi,

On my "new tab" page, the "add a shortcut" button is missing. I can pin, unpin, move, and dismiss shortcuts freely, but only those which automatically appear. Unfortunately the page I'd like to pin is not in the auto-generated shortcuts list (even expanded to 4 lines). It is in my recently bookmarked pages, but the context menu there does not allow adding it to the shortcuts. I use Windows, Nightly 138.0a1 (2025-03-13) (64-bit).

Thanks for any help, Pat

I use a lot of containers (love this extension!) and have an improvement suggestion.

It would be helpful if the entire tab was colored, rather than just the little line at the top. I have a hard time seeing the line and distinguishing between similar colors.

For context, I have to log into multiple email and website accounts for work. The tab descriptions are often the same (for example, I'll have 3 or 4 google accounts open and they all say "Gmail" or "Admin console") so I have to click on each to find the right one since the colored line is hard for me to see.

Since I updated firefox a day or so ago, the tabs on my tab bar display at the top of the window change width to add the audio icon when the tab starts playing audio, which I find distracting especially when the active tab plays audio intermittently in response to my interactions with the tab. I couldn't find anything about that in the settings page. How do I turn this off so that tabs in the tab bar (at least the active tab) stay the same width?

I am a developer.I want to know the source code location in Firefox that reject tracker cookies and the code location for obtaining the tracking protection list after installation

Before update I have tree style tabs extension, that organized tabs and show it as list in left side of screen. And this was ideal setup for me. But new sidebar broke this. It Have rudimentary vertical tabs, that missed main feature from tree style tabs extension. But I cant hide this sidebar, because it also hide tree style tabs.

How i can return to my previous setup, where i only see tree style tabs extension ?

I am using Firefox 136.0 on a Macbook running Sonoma 14.5 & on a MacMini running Sequoia 15.3.1. When doing a search using the Google search engine in Firefox if I click on a result it no longer opens in a new tab, instead it just opens it in the same tab. If I right click on the result & select "Open in a new tab" it does. I experimented with using Yahoo search engine (which I hate) & new results still open in a new tab. I assume others are experiencing this problem when using Google search with Firefox since it is happening on both my Macbook & my MacMini. Anybody know if this a settings issue or is there a problem with the software?

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS to Firefox section as you have macOS.

you are repeating old mistakes. You have become worse than Microsoft. Firefox is not remembering open tabs again. I have supported your Firefox until now but enough is enough.
