Firefox Support Forum

Firefox is my preferred browser, but, I'm sure most of us have encountered difficulties on certain sites, requiring the use of another browser. Currently, Fedex unusable in Firefox. Won't allow logins, etc. but works in chromium browsers.

But my actual reason for posting here is that I have a problem with Open in Brave Browser.

I used a method to move the Brave profile to a different location off of my my OS partition, using this command in The Brave Browser shortcut

"N:\BRAVE PORTABLE\brave.exe" --user-data-dir="N:\BRAVE PORTABLE\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data"

It works configured that way with the shortcut, but the "Open In Brave Browser" addon requires a "path to the executable, which is fine with the path you see in the image, but doesn't work with the modified path used to move the brave profile.

Is there anything I can do to make this work?

All of a sudden starting today when I hide firefox so I can work on documents the tabs I had open are all gone when I bring up the browser back up, I have gone to setting and history and there is no restore previous tabs button as all the fixes suggest,

How do I get this to stop, i have important sites open so I can go back to them and it sucks to keep having to restart and find data again.

My tabs do not open correctly. They are squeezing in between the < and > and I have to try to find it? There is a big bracket showing between those two < > arrows.

I have no idea what happened but before the tabs started acting crazy, when I opened FireFox it was very, very small print that I had to resize with the 'Control, mouse up' move.

I have 4 rows of information appearing at the top of my Firefox 108.0.1 screen: 1) Menu Bar 2) Bookmarks Bar 3) Address Box Bar with other 'stuff' 4) A bar containing tabs

I keep frequently used bookmarks available in Row 2 and tabs in Row4 for information to be displayed in when I click a bookmark. I have forgotten and cannot discover how to add entries to Row 4, the area encircled in the screenshot.

In Tools > Settings > General I have all the boxes relating to Tabs checked except the first that allows using CTL/TAB to scroll through recently opened tabs.

As far as I can tell I don't have any add-ons that affect tabs.

Can you a) tell me what terminology to use to describe each of my 4 rows; b) tell me how to add entries in that 4th row?

TIA

I recently switched from Brave to FF. An annoying problem is that whenever I click web links in external programs such as Microsoft Teams, Outlook etc Firefox always opens it in a new window instead of a new tab like Brave did. Also the window it opens does not have my extensions enabled, indicating that it is some form of incognito or web view window or something? These are my settings.

How can I solve this issue?

This is the second time fairly recently after Firefox was closed, and restarted I lost all tabs, perhaps 8! This is even with the Startup option, Open previous windows and tabs selected. I had some important websites on tabs and I lost them and using the history option, I was only to open one website and not the most important.

This is VERY poor operation and enough to cause me to want to migrate to a different browser.

This needs to be fixed without delay.

Since the last updates, all my tabs appear on multiple rows. How do I get this back to 1 row. And why can't I find anything about this searching help/the internet with such a big change ?

I have a couple of tabs open at the moment, and when the amounts gets too big I have to press an arrow to see other tabs. Is there a way to see all tabs at all times without having to press the arrow.

I'm aware of the search tabs button and function but that is not what I'm looking for.

I'd just like to increase the amount of tabs shown before they're relegated behind an arrow going either < or > depending on when it opened or where I placed it.

Thank you for any answers.

I've had Firefox since it's been around and not had this issue, I have a Mac with OS Monterey 12.6. Firefox is up to date and about two weeks ago with about 10 tabs open a tab crashed which probably hasn't happened in a couple years. I tried re-opening but it just crashed. I clicked the next and it crashed, then to the next and it crashed, etc. They all crashed soon as you clicked on them. I switched over to Chrome to see if I could even look something up because as soon as you clicked on anything with Firefox it crashed. I restarted Firefox and tabs just crashed. I let it sit and came back 8 hours later & all worked fine. A day later tabs started crashing again. On and off for the last two weeks tabs just keep crashing intermittently on Firefox and they only way to fix it is take a break and come back in an hour+. Then maybe a tab will crash and it will continue to work for a little while when you restart tab or maybe it will just crash as fast as you click Restart Tab. I currently have 2 crashed tabs and I'm surprised its letting my type this with a crashed tab, when I tried opening another, it just opened a crashed tab. I wouldn't doubt if it crashes in the middle of typing and I have to come back in an hour to finish. I can't find a solution on Google and if this keeps up, I'm going to have to drop Firefox as this happens throughout the day for work. Any Ideas what this might be? If you think it's a computer issue, I'll call Apple, but no solutions on Google make sense. Thanks for any help.

Note, these tabs are crashing on every site you can think of from Yahoo, Mail, Google, Facebook, Amazon, youtube, etc.

I was listening to a podcast on google podcasts, when I opened a link to a youtube video and briefly muted the tab that I had the podcast opened in. Once I closed the video and unmuted the tab with the podcast, it still is not making any sound. Other websites such as youtube are still making sound correctly. The podcast website's volume bar is NOT muted, I have also confirmed my windows 10 audio settings are configured properly still. So far to fix this issue I have tried: 1. muting and unmuting the tab again by right clicking on it. 2. closing the podcast and opening it in a new firefox window. 3. checking my windows volume mixer, which is not muted and shows no audio output from firefox despite the podcast playing (according to the progress bar on google podcasts). 4. clearing the firefox cache/cookies for google.com 5. signing out and back in to google. 6. completely closing and reopening firefox (I did restore session to keep other windows I have open, though). 7. unplugging and re-inserting my headphones. 8. looking through relevant support topics on this site. 9. Disabling my adblock add-on and reloading the page.

I'm hoping for some additional suggestions to try to fix this, I believe the above list shows I've tried all standard/obvious fixes, but maybe there is something I'm unaware of.

How to view/have the exact same opened tabs on different devices?

I am aware that I can access tabs from other devices by going to my firefox account>syncTabs, then open from there.

But What I want is have the exact same opened tabs between different devices.

Thanks

When you open a web site, a tab is created up top under the "File," "Edit," "View," etc. tabs. And, obviously, if you have more then one site open, they're all there. But this week I noticed that with the fourth tab, they stop being visible, and there's arrows on the far left and right. So if you have five or six pages open and you want to go back to the first tab/web site, you have to hit the arrow on the far left to make that tab visible, and then click on the tab.

So they went from one step/click to two, or three, or four! Sometimes I have to click around to find the tab I want. Also, there's times I just want to see if a site/tab is there. Now, I have to click the darn arrow and find it!

Why do they do this? If it aint broke, don't fix it!

I don't want it like this. At all. I want all the tabs there, without any arrows. Just like it always was. How do I get it back to what it was?

Hi, because I have many opened Bookmarks therefore I used very often in the past on the right side of the Bookmarks line the ">" signs for scrolling or the "v" signs for list all open bookmarks. Now, I miss them. The left one "<" for scrooling left is available. But if I use View > Toolsbars > Customize Toolbar, then I can see both signs. What can I do now to see them again? Specially the list bookmarks is important for me for quick navigation. I use the newest browser version 108.0.1 (64bit) on Windows 10

after upgrading to 108 all my tabs disappeared... tab bar was done, with no way to get to the tabs. I can't believe such a critical issue wasn't caught and again, a huge pain to downgrade with forcing users to create a new profile. I found an article online to update something in about:config to get tabs back, but hoping for a legitimate patch to be released.

I would like new tabs to be split into two functions instead of the single "+" as it is now. If we had a small "Home" icon as well as the "+", users could choose a new tab to be identical to their home page or to be as it is now with the previously opened page suggestions. Where do I go to suggest this?

I am using Windows 11 on a new HP laptop. I had the same issue on my old HP laptop with Windows 10. Sometimes, I cannot ctrl-click on a link and open it in a new tab. It always opens in the same tab. I know there are html links and javascript links. Is it possible that the person designing the page makes it not possible to open in a new tab?

The tabs are gone. It will show one open page, and when I open another tab (via the +) the first page disappears without a trace. There is no tab at the top to go back to it, to go back and forth between open tabs. See the top, very top very left,of the image below. That is all I have, no tabs.

I randomly lose my pinned tabs and previous sessions in Firefox. It is really frustrating and it is causing me to lose time and work.

Everything works fine for month or so and then suddenly all is lost. No recently closed tabs, no recently closed windows, no pinned tabs, nothing! All I can do is go to History and try to find them there. This keeps happening for years it seams and I see that there are other having the same issues reported but they are being ignored.

Is this ever going to be even considered to be a bug?

I will probably migrate to Edge since I used it on my work PC and never had this issue.
