I just found out that my tabs are not stored when reopening Firefox. Only pinned ones are still available. In settings of course I have `Remember history` and `Open previous windows and tabs`... I'm new to Apple, but this behaviour is absurd. Someone said I woudl have to use Command+Q as a solution? That can't be true. Is there some strange way of installation of Firefox I did that only not pinned tabs are not remembered? I have all things up to date. I'm not a noob in computer science so I can verify something more but this out of the box bad behaviour is shock to me. At the same time on Windows I have 200+ opened tabs and no problem to restart Firefox and keep have them.

I am using Firefox on Linux Ubuntu 26.04. I normally work with multiple tabs. Then I quit Firefox with all tabs open at the point of quitting. Some times on the rare occasion there can be a forced quit due to some issues. In my settings I have configured it not to open the previous tabs. In fact I want a blank page. But whenever I reopen Firefox, it opens those tabs and tries to reload which is annoying. Some of these pages take a long time to reload, and why would I want to look at tabs which I already have read. Or if it crashes due to some website on a tab why reopen something that crashed in the place ? Can you fix this. Thanks.

Personally I do not like the new firefox. My bookmarks will not open in a new tab automatically when needed, it over rides the current tab that is opened. Additionally I am constantly being bothered with a unrelated pop up every time I open a new tab. and the Firefox logo used to appear so that you could click on it and get to firefox's home page. New version is horrible. may have to abandon and use another browser.

Hi, firefox: 153.0 Yesterday evening I put 3 tabs in a "group tab" I decided to call "ARS".

This morning I don't see how I can re-open this group tab. Many topics speak about a button "list all tabs". That button doesn't appear in my firefox (even when I have 50 tabs open). I tried the "customize" menu of firefox and "got back to factory setting", but it is still not there.

When I go to the contextual menu of a tab, I see that I can add it to a new container or the "closed group tab - ARS". When I do so for a tab, it closes. (I'm not sure it's normal.)

At this point, I really just want to remove the tab group (because I already re-opened the tabs... it took 5s, fixing the problem is now entering the 20'...) but I don't see how I can do it. It appears nowhere. I even "deactivated the group tab" feature and then reactivated it... the "ARS" group tab still appears in the "closed group tabs" submenu.

Thank you for the information.

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.

Hello all,

I can see that I can access hidden tabs from firefox menu > History > Hidden Tabs. I have non hidden tabs in my permanent session that is saved/reload whenever I close/open Firefox.

I searched in the support section of Mozilla and found that I can use extensions to hide tabs and find these hidden tabs through History > Hidden Tabs to access or simply unhide any of those tabs.

My question is what would be the benefit of hiding any tab? For privacy? If so, is hiding tabs really efficient to protect tabs content and/or browsing history?

I could see that some extensions offer to protect hidden tabs with a password and even automatically unload tabs upon hiding them.

Thanks in advance to shed some light on this hiding feature.

Hello community,

I've been moved to MacOS at work and since then, Firefox will not always restore my pinned sites when I start it the next day.

Here is what I do:

  1. Right click a tab, select "Pin Tab"
  2. Go about my day
  3. At the end of the day, I close Firefox by using command Q and shutdown my Mac
  4. The next day, I start Firefox and most of the time, my pins are gone

I did not have this issue on Windows Firefox. I am using MacOS 26.5.2 and Firefox 152.0.4 Firefox says "Your browser is being managed by your organization" in settings. It is a link that can be clicked and the only active policy showing there is "DisableAppUpdate" which I assume is because we have our own tool to manage software updates.

Any idea what could cause my pinned tabs to disappear? I did not really customize the settings so far, I do NOT clear browsing data when exiting FF and the startup option "Open previous windows and tabs" is NOT selected. I have Ecosia and 1Password as plugins.

Any help appreciated, thank you.

Hey guys, so I always have a bunch of tab groups as it helps me organize my tabs. But every time I accidentally close Firefox or my pc resets, all the tab groups are gone. UNLIKE google chrome where, even if I close chrome they will be on the toolbar for me to open again. So could you please add this feature on firefox as well because this is getting very irritating because I have to open the individual tabs again and again? Thank you.
