Latest Stable Firefox, windows, over 4000 tabs. Overall Firefox works great for me. but when I restart it to install the latest versions etc, it only restores one active/loaded tab per window. Rest are restored, but in a closed/unloaded state. I usually have 5-20 open tabs per window, and hundreds more unloaded, it's how I work. How on earth can I get it to restore all the open/loaded tabs as they were, not in the unloaded state they default to?

Issue still occurs in a new install with no addons, default settings, under 30 tabs etc. Ditto Win 10 or 11.

Also, how on earth can I get official Mozzilla pages to use Dark Mode??

How can I stop Firefox from automatic granting sites cross-site cookie permissions (see screenshot)? The problem is that the cross-site cookie(s) granted for a site more often than not is completely unrelated to that site. This problem is very frustrating.

I have tried changing several settings in Tracking Protection but nothing has stopped Firefox from auto-granting these permissions. I have for example turned off "Fix major site issues (recommended)" but it has not changed this behavior.

Thankful for any help.

For some reason, my Gmail page doesn't show the icons on top at all. Like the archive, mark as read, and the others on top of the mailbox contents. They show up on both Chrome and Edge, so this seems to be a Firefox problem.

Computer being used with issue: HP ProDesk 600 G2 DM (Windows 10, 16GB RAM) So can this be fixed or should I just use my phone for Gmail?

Smart Window takes up all CPU and Memory

The Smart Window feature caused CPU usage and memory to max out. Disabled it as soon as I could find the setting to do so (Settings/AI Controls and BLOCK "Smart Window") and overload disappeared immediately. Everything is working fine now. What a disaster! Also did not find the interface terribly impressive or informative. Quite the opposite: It was almost deliberately vague and not at all intuitive.

Contrary to the claim that "Smart Window automatically groups related tabs, so everything has its place and what you need is easy to find" it just just described each of my open tabs (despite several related tabs being right next to each other) instead of supposedly grouping them by subject matter. That's basically useless -- I can see that for myself. Definitely not ready for Primetime.

Windows 10 Home, Firefox Version 155.0.1 (64-bit), Dell Inspiron 15 3000, installed RAM 8.00 GB, Storage 119 GB

Yes, I've been contemplating adding memory and/or buying a new laptop. But a new feature shouldn't totally freak out my system without some sort of appropriate warning about memory prerequisites, etc.

I'm not sure how long this has been happening (maybe at least a month), but my browsing history isn't syncing properly between my desktop and phone. Previously, my desktop history was syncing to my phone, but not vice-versa. Bookmarks, passwords and tabs are syncing perfectly fine. I've tried enabling/disabling sync settings and signing out and in again and now my phone history is syncing to my desktop, but my desktop history has stopped syncing to my phone. While having the full browsing history on my desktop is preferable, it would be ideal for it to show up on both my desktop and phone.

Hi a few days ago I updated my firefox version 155.0 well I had 3 open tabs going back to and forth to different sites. when the update firefox popped up, I mistakenly hit update & a notice said firefox is attempting to save these sites, I closed the notice then shut down my laptop,

I never take a update with any thin running. when I turned on the w-10 lap top seem to take awhile to load, so I let it load, and then I shut it down completely. I went to task manager and my read write on my c: drive was running at 100% for about 15-20 minutes. I went to firefox settings and re-set "cache at startup"

This seemed to help some, but still not sure if it is locked in a loop, looking for those those saved files.

I am 80 now and not a pc savvy as I was. not sure what the normal time the c drive for read write should stay at 100% after starting my laptop, I know there is indexing going on, but I thought it would be done by now. after. Thank You Gary Kouri

I can't remember what it was in previous version of Firefox, but want to know if it's safe to turn on permission, guessing there's a reason why it's now off, thanks
