This was working just fine up until 2 days ago. As the title says, when I close firefox, it is now no longer restoring my tabs from my previous session. Closing via the x does not give me the option to restore my previous session.

I have:

Tried unchecking the box, closing firefox, opening it again and rechecking the box. No success.

Uninstalled firefox, restarted my computer, and reinstalled firefox. Still no success.

I am open to further suggestions.

There is currently a button to "Open in Firefox" in Focus, but this only opens the tab in private mode. It would be nice to have the option of just opening in a regular tab.

Before the update, I could use "cmd+shift+[number]" to open a new container tab. Now, nothing works. "cmd+t" opens a tab with "no container", which is completely different.

I already tried going to "about:keyboard", but opening a new container tab isn't even listed as an option.

Hello, on Firefox desktop I have several pinned tabs and I would like to change the order they appear in. Is there a way to drag and reorder pinned tabs, or a setting for this? Thanks.

Hi Everyone! I am having some trouble figuring out how to get rid of these "phantom" windows. They appear after I do a sign-in to my Google or Facebook account and it opens in a new window. The windows stay open in the background, or at least my Macbook shows them as windows as if they are still open. Whenever I click on them they just go to my most recently opened tab on Firefox and never actually allow me to click on them or see the tab. I've tried looking for them in the "open tabs" section on Firefox, and it doesn't show them there either. I added a photo to show that the "phantom" window is separate from my currently open browser on Firefox.

If anyone knows how to get rid of these, I would so appreciate your help! Thanks!!!

Not sure if it's a feature or a bug, but I noticed that if I 'save and close' a tab group containing an 'empty' tab, i.e. the about:newtab page, the tab does not get restored when the group is opened again. Before I was using tab groups, I often used these empty tabs as a crude method of separating bunches of tabs from each other. I have some large tab groups, open on the tab bar, that still contain these, as I have never closed them since they were created. (They're just collapsed.) I was planning on closing them sometime, after I'd next reviewed their contents, but now I'm not too keen on that! So, just wondering, is this empty tab deletion a bug or a feature? If the latter, what's the rationale?

Невозможно упорядочить вкладки по срокам добавления, можно упорядочить вкладки только по имени, очень странно это, упорядочить вкладки по срокам добавления весьма полезная функция- займитесь пожалуйста этим улучшением

I often accidentally CLOSE my Firefox browser. I DO NOT get the OPTION to click on & open "all previous OPEN TABS"! Only one tab at a time & I am not going back five times! HELP?!!! Thank You!!

If I have a window open and open a new window without remembering to ask for a new window it overwrites the existing window. How to make it automatically open a new window?

This behaviour change happend a while ago and has just now bothered me enough to write up a bug about it.

If I have a tab open, navigation bar at the top, I edit the text of the bar and change it to a different URL and hit enter. The current tab I am on is put in the background and a new tab opens for the website I went to. I now have infinite tabs open because they used to close naturally and my back button worked normally and now I have just weird tabs.

Also there is no rhyme or reason to the order of my tabs, they used to be chronological, but now I edit a URL and it might take me to the tab from a month ago with it open and then every tab after that is in the middle of a hundred tabs from a month ago.

I wish that you would properly complete the changelog for android updates as well as this change in behaviour has taken me from someone who has manageable 10 tabs to a chaotic million that I never close, but won't enable automatic closing of old tabs (which I think was added when this change happened) because I have legitimate tabs open that I want to not be closed. It is just a real suck fest to get to them now since I have so many stupid ones from just editing the URL.

TL;DR I want to have android Firefox work like every other browser on the planet when I edit the URL I want to navigate away from the page. When I search I want to navigate away from the page. You took that away and the browser has been worse because of that.

I realized today that my tab groups were all gone and I believe it is because I erased all of my search history about a week ago. Unfortunately I did not realize that clearing my search history would irrecoverably delete my tab groups, and I think it would not be intuitive for many other people either.

Ideally I would like to see a specific option to keep or erase tab groups when clearing search history but in the absence of that I think at least having a warning that you will lose your tab groups if you follow through would be very nice.

Please can you (a) add to menus, or create a button, so users can see the tab groups they have created and (b) prevent upgrades to Firefox from deleting a user's tab groups.

The Alt-<number> keyboard shortcut is used to switch between tabs. However, the key event used to switch a tab seems to also propagate down to the content itself. This creates weird interactions:

- I switch to third tab - The web page running in the third tab actually uses Alt-3 to do something - After switching tabs the web page does something unexpected because the browser chrome didn't swallow the event during its tab-switching procedure.

The most irritating candidate seems to be XenForo forum software that uses Alt-<number> to go to different sections in its menubar. For example, alt-4 seems to open a search page and going there provides no new entry in the browser history. So, if I've tab-opened the forum to display new posts and then later I switch to it using Alt-4, it makes the content go to its search panel with no way to go back to new posts. Ironically, switching _away_ from the tab 4 does not register to the content so I can't even use the forum's own keyboard shortcuts to navigate back to new posts section or any other section. Having the forum in tab X will only ever let the forum see Alt-X and nothing else.

This all stems from the fact that Firefox lets the initial tab-switching key event through whereas I think it shouldn't. It maybe should if the corresponding tab is already active but it certainly shouldn't when a tab-switch actually occurs.

I've obviously disabled the content's capability to override keyboard shortcuts but it doesn't help in this because the content is not overriding anything: it seems to be just listening to a keyboard event that it shouldn't see.

Did I miss some option in about:config or do others see this as well?

For about 10 days now the automatic tab reloader on Firefox doesn't work, it simply doesn't reload the tab. My up to date Firefox runs on the up to date Windows 11.
