FF used to have a "Close right tabs" menu point. EXCELLENT. Fast. Useful. Since some time, feature creep has expanded that into "Close several tabs" and the sub-menu close right tabs close left tabs close all tabs

Minor point: I use close right all the time, never though close left or close all ("Close all" would be "move to start", then "close right", anyway) So, I go one level further down for nothing added.

Major point: Inadvertently closing to the left or closing all destroys a lot of tabs I do not want to go.

This new "feature" is annoying and harmful. At the very least, developers should ask users whether they actually want that stuff. Before spending/wasting time on it.

Now, "close left" and "close all" being unfortunately present: Is there a way to remove the two dangerous options and stay - as before - with just "Close right tabs"?

When I press F12 to use the developer tools and try to change the width of the panes by click and drag the divider there now seems to be a limit to the panes width that was not there before. I'm not sure with what version I stated to notice this. I use to be able to drag the right hand panel fairly far over to the left and could take up about 75-80% of the width of the developers window. Now I'm guessing that I'm able to drag the right panel to a max width of 35-40% for some reason. I have not changed anything in the about:config page. I'm not sure why I can't drag the right panel to cover the 75-80% of the window that I had been able to do.

Is there a setting in the developer tools or on the about:config page that sets the max width that the right hand panel can be dragged to the left?

Hello,

I am dealing with a quite frustrating issue, and I literally cannot do anything to stop it from ruining my messages.

Whenever I manually type in WhatsApp Web or AI chats (like ChatGPT or Claude), Firefox completely hijacks my text box. As soon as I start a line by typing "1", a period, and a single space ("1. "), the browser forces my text into an auto-formatted numbered list.

This isn't just unhelpful; I see it as a genuinely harmful feature. The formatting it forces on me is weird and broken—it frequently adds massive, irrelevant paragraph gaps between list items, completely messing everything up.

I am completely stuck because standard fixes do not work:

If I press Ctrl + Z to undo the auto-formatting, it also deletes the space I typed.

I am not pasting anything; this happens the millisecond I type the spacebar from scratch.

It feels awful to have my manual typing hijacked like this. Users should be able to type a simple number and a period without the browser transforming it into a broken HTML list.

Is there an about:config setting or any way to completely disable this auto-formatting feature so I can just type normally again?

Thank you.
