I need a: archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

WHY?: I use the "Firefox program" itself, as a "High Level Logic Function" (i.e. a TOOL!).

THIS IS HOW: I may be researching up to 50/100, subjects/topics/interests, concurrently!

I use one Firefox window per subject. Each of the "Subject Windows", may contain 20 to 50 tabs, that are relevant to the subject being queried, until subject has been answered/resolved/placated.

PROGRAM DESIGN (software specification ... chortle!):

1) Each archived "window of tabs", would l can given A subject name, and appear in a list archived windows, to be restored, deleted, update/changed (with tab changes), shared with collages, coworker, even sent in a email!!

2) Your "History" function already has a last closed windows, last closed tabs, SO IT SHOULD NOT TAKE GREAT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING EFFORT ...

3) "Buckle your shoe ..."

PERKS: Besides may my insignificant needs, a "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function", would let foxfire execute normally, with out bogging the whole Microsoft operation system down to a crawl, or "go catatonic"!

Of course, this not fault of Firefox! Fox example, I just installed "Windows 11 Pro". When I looked under the hood, I found that NONE of the window error reporting systems could log data, because, the "Windows 11 Pro" operating system, is unable the find "C:\",the only drive in my laptop.

Left hand ... Right hand ... the list of atrocities when on! I just had a new desktop folder, "Microsoft's Hospital for the Criminally INSANE", and dump'd the "bad news" there.

Some other related, Firefox execution problems:

WHEN I HAVE 20ish windows open, with 1, 10, 20, tabs per window, the system crashes, like clock work!!

Further I constantly it the "Firefox  ---- is not responding" frozen window announcement!

Concurrently, everything is also semi-frozen too.

I summary, PLEASE made the "archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function" a reality!!!

If you will, I will come up with a name for the function, that intuitive, yet is catchy, that it will shine like a small jewel in the Firefox panoply ...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,

P.S I want NOTHING for the idea, only the joy on using it! Later tonight, I will be installing a new printer with it's device drivers, and application programs.

AT WITCH POINT, WILL HAVE TO CLOSE FIREFOX,

 AND LOOSE 25 PLUS OPEN "FIREFOX WINDOWS",  
WITH 100'S OF  RESEARCH DATUM TABS!!!
ABOUT 6,TO 8  MONTHS OF WORK ..

And yeah, there have always been the bookmark systems, going back to the "Hyper Links" in DOS (which sooner, or later, GRENADE'D the hard drive).

Bookmarks are for warehouse, basement archive,

But the: "Firefox data amphitheater";

             "Firefox data auditorium"; 

              archive(store)/underachieve(restore} one Firefox "window of tabs" function

            "FIREFOX WINDOWS""Subject Windows" ...
           What ever you name it
           It is the easiest, direct way of researching multiple subjects, concurrently, and in your face instantly ..

Trying to bookmark a pdf, it's on the same location across my devices, but my devices have different usernames, so I added "%userprofile%" to the filepath so that it opens on any device. The issue is that when I enter this into the Bookmark URL bar, it automatically sticks "25" next to the % characters, which makes the bookmark unusable.

"C:\Users\%userprofile%\Documents\example.pdf" automatically becomes "file:///C:/Users/%25userprofile%25/Documents/example.pdf"

Also, as I just discovered now when I pasted this URL into this post, a second "25" is inserted, becoming: "file:///C:/Users/%2525userprofile%2525/Documents/example.pdf"

Created second profile (intended for business use) on my USB stick, I thought that naming the profile in create new profile would create a folder of that name in my chosen destination, it didnt, and created the profile in the root directory of my USB stick, I then realised this had not created a new folder with the name I used in the new profile setup, so then removed profile in the profile setup page, and it deleted the whole USB stick!! Doh. Can I recover the data, ie reverse the profile deletion? I have lost a whole load of important stuff.

My Trend Micro Password manager stopped working a week or so ago. Have been using it quite some time in Firefox with no problems. I suspect after an update. Is there a new extension for it available? Or any other solution. Thanks

Sky is a satellite television firm in the UK it also does a Mobile Phone System and Broadband Internet access.They also do email run by Yahoo. It is nothing like Skype. Now and again on the email it tells me the internet has dropped while I am using it, The PC says its still connected and the modem lights are on. If I then use Google Chrome its OK. I am not using wifi as I am now wired. Although yahoo email says "not connected" other sites are working OK. This fault is Firefox and before the last maybe 6 updates it was OK. I have been with Sky about 25 years and been using Monzilla about at least 10 years. I always delete the cookies each day.

About every month or so Firefox decides to delete my login info and i have to relog everywhere again.

While this is not a critical issue, its a very annoying one.

My cookie settings are on standard, and the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" square is unticked. I use Dashlane for my passwords but ive used it for a long time before on mozilla and other browsers and i've never had issues with it.

Hi community, sorry if I didnt use the right category but I am having serious issue right now.

Just few minutes ago, I was suddenly logged out of all my sessions and my saved logins disappeared.

All my accounts use randomly generated passwords by firefox, there is no way I can recover any of this without getting my saved logins back.

What should I do? I am freaking out

I have the notification setting set to block all requests for website notifications.

https://www.bonsecours.com/ still managed to present such a notification (see the attached images)

NOTE: I recently had to reset FF due to the installation being corrupted during the install of an upgrade. I believe I have restored most of my settings on topics like access to microphones, push-notification requests, and the like, but I may have missed something relative to this. (When I first shut down all requests for push notifications, I believe it was still required to do so via about:config.)

When I open my yoroi wallet extension , yoroi wallet is long time loading and my firefox and mouse cursor freezes then there is crashed . I'm using Firefox flatpak from flathub on Fedora Linux. Everything worked fine before. On the other browser it is also work fine. I think it happened after update Firefox. How can I fix it ?

Okay, so 5 months ago, I cleaned up my bookmarks. I had a ton, but now looking back, there were some that I really would've liked to keep. So I'm would like to know if there would be a way to restore deleted bookmarks from that long ago.

I recently switched from Chrome which had the Reading List feature which you could view on the Chrome Android app as well as Chrome PC.

I recently figured out Firefox has a similar thing called Collections but I can't find out where it's located on the Firefox PC application.

Or do I have to do something to sync it with my PC?

Iam using Windows 7 on my Laptop and I have constant flickering on the screen. There seems to be many users who have complained about this. Why is Firefox not taking any steps to solve the problem?

Firefox don't wait for someone in the community to solve this. Please depute your engineers and address this issue

Hi, I'm using Firefox 107.0 on a Mac O/s Monterey 12.6.1. I'm trying to log in to Virginmedia web site and I'm being informed that my password is invalid. However, when logging in using Safari, I'm able to log in fine. I've cleared all cookies for the web site and still no joy. I am also unable to login using the Mail client for the same reasons. Any suggestions please?

Hi. FF 107.0 64bit Up until yesterday I could open Facebook in a normal window, but yesterday it only opened to a white screen with a top banner with the FB logo on the left and grey circles on the right. I searched on here and Google and found this was a fairly kcommon problem. I opened FB in a Private window and all was well. I could also open FB in MS Edge no problem. I have tried the recommended guide to Settings> Privacy> clear cache/data/cached web content>clear. No change, still white screen in a normal window. As far as I remember I have not changed any setting or even gone into tools for sometime. I am at a loss as to what to do. Seems many others have this problem and have not been able to find a solution which does not give me much confidence. I am on Win10 fully updated.

Hi, wonderful crew I have this annoying issue: when I want to print a page and I open the Print menu from the "hamburger" button, the preview open but on the printer list I can see only the PDF printer, not my default printer or any other printer. Also if I click on the link "Print thru the system printer window" I see only "Print on file" and "Print on LPR" I tried the same on Chomium and there I can see my default printer My system is a Ubuntu desktop 22.04 recently updated from 20.04 LTS Thank for your work
