I had a bunch of tabs open (apparently in Window 2). One of the tabs had some page I wanted to close. I hit the x and all the tabs disappeared. I went to view recent browsing and the tabs are there in Window2. But when I click on window 2, they don't go back up to the top. If i click on the up arrow they go away, but come back when i click same (now down) arrow again. I want them back up on the top to use. WHERE do new windows come from. EXPLAIN this to me.

When I click on a bookmark, FF opens it in the current tab, overwriting the site I had open. I have to add a tab, then click on the bookmark to have it in a new tab. This is an annoying extra step. How to I change it? I already tried the open links in new tabs instead of windows. Makes no difference On or Off

So, forgive me, I'm a little frustrated right now, but I needed to move an Open Tab to it's own window, without the use of my mouse (yes, it's having issues right now), but: I used to do this by tabbing to the TAB in question and pressing <Shift> F10, which opened a context menu with a Move To sub-menu. Now the menu didn't have that option. see pic below. ...Yes, I was able to do the same via, File | New Window, and coping the address to it with Windows cut/paste and <Alt><Tab>. Still I would like to know how to get to the TAB context menu option without the mouse.

Moderator note: this question has been edited to correct the formatting.

Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

I am using tab groups and suddenly they all disappeared. There is no hint or trace of this function, not even in the tab pulldown menue. I checked the internet, I restartet Firefox several times, I restarted my notebook (Windows 11), I checked about:config (tab groups are enabled). I even reinstalled firefox - it seems like tab groups never have existed. What might have happend - and how could I get that feature back?

Thank you in advance Wolf

I want to see all my open tabs all of the time... firefox keeps showing full screen, I don't want that... how do I reset settings using windows 11, logi keyboard HELP!

I have recently switched computers, and since it has been a while, I can't remember the setting on the 'about:config' page that I need to change to where when I open a new browser tab, it opens at the end of my list of tabs, rather than as the next tab. Thanks!

Enter (paste) the URL into the Firefox address bar → hit Enter (paste and go) → open in a new tab every time. I want this to open in the same tab. Firefox version 145.0

My tabs won't allow me to move/rearrange them. When I attempt to click and drag them around, they do not change order or escape the window. Window functions such as resizing, closing, and moving work as normal.

I can't re-open a saved tab group. I saved it and closed firefox but when I returned I couldn't find where to access it. I see all of my saved tabs when I right-click on a tab and choose "Add Tab to Group", but when I move the tab to that group it just disappears rather than open the group. Any help would be appreciated! :)

Numerous tabs appear whenever I open Mozilla. I have used them at some time in the past, but never all on one occasion. SOME WERE LAST USED AT LEAST SEVEN MONTHS AGO.

Related may be that sometimes when I follow a link on one website, the destination appears on my screen as a new opening of Mozilla. The previous site(s) are completely obscured

I have one particular tab group that stores a lot of tabs that I keep collapsed when not using them, because otherwise they clog up my tab bar. But with the new collapsed tab group preview, when I scroll along my tabs my screen will randomly flash with a full page of tabs, as there is no delay on the preview. I don't think this feature was designed with dozens of tabs with long titles in mind. The ability to have a delay on the hover effect, or preferably to disable it all together, would be much much much appreciated.

When I open Firefox, all my bookmarked sites start loading at the same time. I have unchecked, the "Startup Open previous windows and tabs" option in General Settings. I also deleted, and added Firefox again, but all sites are still loading on opening Firefox. (Chrome browser is fine.) Any ideas? Thanks!

I lost the ability to browse using multiple tabs. I have to open multiple windows because the browser automatically goes directly to the site rather than a new tab. I've used firefox for YEARS. Must I change browsers to have this feature?

When I restart Firefox, or my PC wakes from sleep, my Firefox windows are all in a different order.

Also a number of Firefox windows often just die or don't appear on restarting Firefox.

Is there a way to make sure that the Firefox windows appear in the same order and number as before?

At the moment I have to close Firefox windows and start them manually loading tabs from bookmarks. I would have thought that there must be a better way but I can't find it.

It seems as if Firefox should number the windows and keep a list of tabs open in each window, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

What am I missing? Is there a setting I need to change?

I'm running Windows 11 Pro

Tab groups work well with the standard tab bar, but when changing to vertical tabs, there is no clear way to expand the menu (aka hit the 'V' at the right of the tab bar for horizontal tabs) to see the tab group.

The only fix i found was to turn off vertical tabs, open the tab group, then turn on vertical tabs again.

We hate this useless so-called feature and you've completely failed to give us an OFF switch! It's been many months with countless complaints and still no OFF switch! We've had this conversation before, all of your ideas must come with an OFF switch, especially so for the dumb ones like tab pinning! You don't ever force this dumb crap on us, ever!

Where is the fkin OFF switch already!?!?!?
