This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

Odd behavior of tabs, including the following:

1. While trying to access content on a page in an open tab, an existing tab inserts itself in the first tab (left-most) position

2. While trying to download a standard pdf file the save windows opens but does so on top of another, irrelevant tab.

This happened also in Troubleshooting Mode. It happened today for the first time, but it's not happening all the time. Just every so often.

None of this happened in the version prior to 149 (ver. 148.xx)!

I'm using Tab Reloader, and have been using it without a problem for a long time.

Would greatly appreciate your advice!

So, today I found that absolutely all of my tab groups have been wiped from existence. Not passwords, bookmarks, history, extensions or anything of the sort. Just tab groups specifically. Everything else in my profile is still here. I tried restoring from a backup using the Session History Scrounger at https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but my closest backup was a March 26th one that is missing an entire tab group created after that date.

I tried searching other solutions to my issue, but nothing has worked so far. It doesn't have anything to do with updates as the last one happened on March 26th and I definitely used the tab groups after that point. I'm at a complete loss on what I am supposed to do, as I lost ~600 tabs combined across all groups

I have the same issue as this person https://support.mozilla.org/kn/questions/1373153. I HAVE the "Open previous windows and tabs" option on, i also DON'T have the "Clear history and cookies when closing the window" nor "Clear history when Firefox closes" nor "Always use private browsing mode" on so the solution doesn't work for me. Firefox won't open previous tabs when i close the window. However upon restarting my PC i have noticed that when i start up Firefox, my previous tabs are opened. So it seems the action of closing the window is doing something to prevent Firefox from opening the previous tabs again.

What is the latest version of the browser because when I open a new tab from a previous tab's content onto the new one it just doesnt load for some reason

Ich werde Firefox nicht mehr benutzen, alle Fenster verschwinden wenn man Firefox wieder startet obwohl dies in den Einstellungen "Vorherige Fenster und Tabs öffnen" steht! Scheinbar ist keiner fähig dies zu beheben und keiner hilft! Sehr fragwürdig!! So könnt ihr euren Firefox beerdigen!!!

In the last update the plus sign to open a new tab was moved from the left side to the far right of the screen. I find this very inconvenient. Just wondering if this bothers anyone else. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version of Firefox?

I had 6 groups in the sidebar showing when I closed Firefox last night. Today when I opened Firefox there was only one group showing how do I get the other groups re-displayed in the sidebar? I am finding no clues when using the last line in searching help

Hi there,

I'm using vertical tabs (loving), but I'm wondering if there's a way when creating a new tab to have it at the start rather than the end. Thanks!

All the application windows I had opened on my Mac, closed due to a security related update. Now Firefox isn't showing any of my tab groups from before and also there's a weird behavior when you click on the Firefox icon, it opens a new window that is small, but when you do file > new window it also opens a window but full sized. I tried creating a new tab group and the second approach of doing file > new window is showing the tab group in the tab group menu, but the window created by doubling clicking the icon doesn't show it.

I rely heavily on tab groups to organize my browser sessions for different tasks and projects. I’ve experienced an issue where, after saving+closing tab groups, they disappear from the “Recent Tab Groups” section after some time. This means (EVERYTHING IS LOST) I have to recreate my organized tabs from scratch each time, which is a "significant workflow disruption" (to say lightly). I understand tab groups are designed to persist across sessions and the hinting fox menu says they should be available for reopening in “Recent Tab Groups” at anytime, but I’m finding this isn’t consistently working (on several devices I use). I’m hoping to understand if there’s a limitation or known issue with how tab groups are stored, and whether there’s a more reliable way to preserve these groupings long term. It’s possible others are running into this behavior too, and I’d appreciate insight into whether this is a known issue or if I’m missing something in how tab groups are managed. Perhaps a future patch could address this persistence problem for long term reliability?

i found this article somewhat related, but not really... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1510334

I use tab groups to save work sessions so I can easily close and reopen them when I need them. I typically use the downward arrow to see all of my tab groups, however, when I opened my laptop today, there are only two tab groups there and no "show all" option. When I opened my laptop today, I did see that Firefox had been closed unexpectedly and the restore sessions option, which I used. The two tab groups I had open when I left my laptop opened again when I used restore sessions, but now those are the only two tab groups I seem to have. How can I get back all of my other tab groups?

Following an update in february, when I close my session, firefox asks if I want to close all my tabs, if I said yes, when I open the following session I have to fish manually all my tabs in the historic or in the group of tabs. I have the same setting for years with reopen the tabs on the next session etc, and now, I have to quit without closing the browser and shut down the computer with firefox running if I want to have my usual tabs on the next day on my profile. If I quit and close the tabs ( 63...) my profile is empty. No more pined tabs or group of tabs. Can someone explain how to fix that? Thank you
