I don't want AI I don't even want to be near it. I don't want it lurking in the background of my browser. I don't want to waste a single processing cycle on even considering it. I never wanted AI, and they jammed it into my browser.

Currently, they popped up an ad for "AI Enhanced Tab grouping" and said that you can turn it off in the settings. I looked in the settings, and could not find such a thing. Searching for "Tabs" "Suggested" "AI" and other such related terms yields no AI things.

Why tell me I can turn something off in the settings if there is no setting to turn it off?

But that's just the start.

I want nothing to do with AI. I don't want to use a browser that supports it.

I WILL MAKE MY OWN DAMN BROWSER IF I HAVE TO. I QUIT GOOGLE, I'LL QUIT FIREFOX.

Mozilla used to be a safe-haven from all the bullshit other tech companies were pulling. And now this.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. MY. BROWSER.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S LOCAL. I DON'T CARE IF YOU SAY IT'S SECURE. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S GETTING BETTER. I. DO. NOT. CARE.

GIVE ME THE OPTION TO PURGE AI FROM MY BROWSER OR BY FUCK I'LL FIND A NEW BROWSER.

For a week my pinned tabs are lost every time I open Firefox. I have checked my settings, they were the same as always. I have de-selected them, closed and re-opened firefox, selected them again, closed and re-opened again, pinned my tabs again. Then closed and re-opened firefox and still they are not there. I have done this multiple time with the same results. This seems to have started after the last update.

Why won't Firefox open any new windows? I give ir the command to open a window and yet all i get are tabs and I never click on open a tab. I have an HP probook this for windows 10 and i am also having the same problem with Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that did not fix it so it is not that. What would cause this? I have already cleared the cache cookies history browsing etc. and nothing is fixing it. PLEASE HELP.

Default to open links in a new Tab Does Not Work

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

I did not ask for tab grouping. I do not want tab grouping. And then when browser grouped tabs without my requesting it to; and would NOT allow me a way to un-group them, providing only the option to "delete tab group", which when exercised deleted all the tabs, not just the group! Now, I don't f-ing want firefox anymore! Why act like microsoft and shove features down our throat without explanation or option to chose or not chose?

Maybe it is my spiritual guides because i obsses and have OCD and have too many tabs. But i started having tabs get deleted and i have no tabs on re-launch, tried to check, re-check this. I Am not sure if to reinstall because i don't want to lose passwords or setting/history (i don't remember now it should be saved) but usually reinstalling doesn't solve anything for me anyways...

I didn't install any new extensions when it started happening!

It doesn't happen every time so it is hard to troubleshoot, i cannot use browser with safe mode. I might test it couple times.

So, I recently encountered this problem: If I close the main Firefox window while a private window is open, then when I open a regular Firefox window, I find that all pinned tabs have been reset, and I have to set them again.

This problem has never happened before, so I figured it was clearly a new bug and I should report it.

I asked a friend, and yes, he also encountered this problem.rt it.

hallo zusammen wo finde ich in firefox eine funktion, die mir die zuletzt angesehen und geöffneten tabs wieder herstellt?😐

in den einstellungen ist "Vorherige Fenster und tabs öffnen" angehakt.

es kommt aber wiederholt nach updates dazu, dass die letzten fenster und tabs nicht wieder geöffnet werden, sondern nur 1 tab mit der festgelegten startseite.🤷‍♂

muss ich mich damit abfinden, dass die letzten tabs hin und wieder im nirwana verschwinden? oder gibt es auch dafür einen tipp für laien?🙏

I really like the new tab group feature and I wondered if it would be possible to isolate tracking within a tab group. I didn't know about tab containers yet but it seems like a great feature to have the option to have a tab group also act as it's own tab container.

Are there any plans for integration between these two features?

Can someone tell me why it is if I'm on a tab and either accidentally or on purpose click the home icon the tab will shut down, and be replaced by the home page? What type of backwards reasoning went into that feature? I've had this happen numerous times without intent, and sometimes with the intent to hit the home button and either way the same thing happens. If it weren't for the browser keeping a history, there are times I would be just out of luck, and have to suck it up. This is not a feature I want in a browser. Instead hitting the home button should forward the tab I'm on to the home page with the ability to back click to the tab I was on. Someone needs to re-think this feature. I would really like to have someone on the development team address this issue.

How can I move a tab to an open window? I know there is a function in the pull down menu to open the tab in a new window, but I would like to move the tab to a window that is already open. Google and Brave Chrome have a seamless, easy way on the pull down menu. I use it all the time, but I want to keep Firefox as my default browser. Thanks!
