Hello, I've been using Firefox for several years because of all browsers it's the only one (I know of) that has a setting whether to open links in new tab or in new window. I want them opening in tabs. This has been quite alright until last week when I was suddenly shown a message that I was using an old Firefox version and was forced to create a new profile. I did that but ever since then links keep opening in new windows - even though I have found the relevant setting and ticked the box "Open links in tabs instead of new windows". With or without the box ticked, the only way to open links in new tabs is to simultaneously hold Cttrl and click on the link. I've tried all variations of this box and the next two, but no luck. This is really important for me. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I just opened Firefox on my Win 11 pc, and find all my tabs have gone. The setting to reopen last session is active, as before. I think FF updated itself earlier today. I also had occasion to look at it briefly on my synchronised android phone. I would like to: - get my tabs back - find a way to stop this haappening (it's not the first time).

Any advice much appreciated, thanks. Richard

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

With vertical tabs and expand on hover, clicking on the X box rarely closes the tab. Sometimes I have success if the pointer is on the left or right line of the box. Not having luck on the center of the box. Has been true for several weeks. With hover off, clicking the X works fine. I am running Windows 11.

There are many tabs open in the firefox window. I'm closing the firefox. I'm opening it again.All tabs opened during the previous opening disappear.Either a new page or a single tab opens. The settings are set to "Open previous windows and tabs" (Image 1)

I go to "Firefox View" ---"Open tabs". (image 2) I see 2-5 windows there.In this case, there are 3 windows.WINDOW 1 is my main window with the tabs that should have been saved and opened when firefox was launched again. I close all tabs from unnecessary windows with a cross.Only window 1 remains. But when restarting, an empty or different window opens again.And again, there are a lot of unnecessary and incomprehensible windows on the list. Previously, a window with restored tabs from the previous session always opened. Question: 1)How can I restore the normal recovery of the previous session when restarting? 2) Tell me.I can somehow switch between windows (Firefox View" ---"Open tabs)(Image 1) Thank you.

Здрасьте дорогие разработчики

у вас есть функция, split-screen. Это круто! сделайте, пожалуйста, чтобы это могло включаться через контекстное меню(правая кнопка мышки), чтобы я навел мышку на ссылку и в контекстной меню выбрал этот пункт. чтобы я не через вкладки это делал, а через контекстное меню.

(EN) Questions and suggestions

Hello, dear developers.

You have a split-screen feature. That's awesome! Please make it accessible through the context menu (right-click), so I can hover over a link and select it from the context menu. So I can do it through the context menu instead of through tabs.

All my Tabs Group have disappeared from the Tab Bar. I can see the Closed Tab Groups in the drop down but i can't find a way to re-open Closed Tab Groups. Any clues welcome. Running 146.0 and on the beta update channel.

Recently an update made it to where closing a tab group no longer works. It closes MOST of the tab group, leaving the last used one active along with a number to the right such as "+3" to show there are three more tabs hidden. This completely defeats the purpose of being able to close the tab group in the first place. In order to get around this, you have to click another tab to make it active and only then will the tab group you tried to close, actually close. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that closing tab groups actually works?

Assuming there is no fix, how can I downgrade to a previous version without losing all my settings, bookmarks, etc? Can I just uninstall the broken version and install the older version?

Thanks!

Recently updated to Windows 11 after Windows 10 stopped getting supported. After putting down several smaller issues on my own, I can encountered something I cannot fix on my own. Currently, I cannot detach, reattach, move tabs (With the exception of moving tabs with the right click menu). I could do all of these on Windows 10. I have already tried the browser.tabs.allowTabDetach setting in about:config to no success. I am starting to suspect it is a problem with windows versus a problem with Firefox because of an earlier bug where I couldn't move the windows entirely without enabling the Snap Windows function in my settings.

Hello,

Is there an option to view the text for the pinned tab? Or add a custom text for them? This is because i would have multiple pinned tabs with the same icon.

Before I updated to 142.0.1 when I had a tab group and closed it by clicking on it, all the tabs collapsed into the tab group tab and the only thing I could see was the tab group title tab. This was awesome! I started using it immediately and loved it. Since I updated the tab groups still work, but now, sometimes, when I click on the tab group tab to close the group I see the title tab, one of the tabs included in the group, and a "+2" or however many tabs are hidden. This pretty much defeats the whole idea of having the tab groups in the first place, which to me, was to hide ALL THE TABS under ONE tab to clean up my work area.

The image below shows an example. Note the "eBay" tab group is closed, and yet it shows the tab group tab (eBay), a tab in that group (eBay icon and "Order" with the X to close the tab), and then "+2" meaning there are two hidden tabs. In contrast, the "Simple" and "Web Work" tab groups are also closed and contain 4 and 9 tabs respectively, all neatly tucked under the one tag group tab for each group.

Why is this happening only on some tab groups, and only some of the time? How can I stop this from happening?

Why on earth would you remove the ability to select move multiple tabs anywhere in an open window browser???? Until recently, I could select the first and last tab, hold shift and move them anywhere I chose. Now that feature doesn't work at all. It duplicates one tab or I'm given a choice to move to the front or last of all open tabs! Please give me the feature back!!1

For some time, maybe 3 updates ago, when I open Firefox with my many tabs, I have this problem. The first 3 tabs that I close leave a blank space the width of 3 tabs on the tab bar. After that any new tab opens to the far right spot at the end of the blank area. This happens in a private window too (extensions closed). After I close a session, then reopen later, all my tabs are still in place but the first 3 that I closed reappear where they were at the start. Strange.

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.

Recently the V-like icon/button appeared at the right-hand end of the top line of my Firefox windows. This Tab Search could be invaluable to some, but I have no need for it. If I start to get too many tabs I just use another window. However, I click on it constantly when I intend to minimize the window. I have been clicking on the - icon/button in EVERY WINDOWS APPLICATION since Windows began, and as it has ALWAYS been the LEFT-MOST item in the UPPER RIGHT CORNER I haven't had to think about it in decades. But now it isn't the left-most, that is now tab search.

Please, please, PLEASE provide a configuration option to remove Tab Search from the top line.

Thanks!
