Firefox Community Forum

I am a loyal Firefox user and recently started trying out the vertical tabs feature. However, I noticed a significant UI issue: there is a very sharp right angle in the upper-left corner of the web page.

Currently, Firefox employs a rounded-corner UI design overall, and this sharp angle in the upper-left corner looks quite inconsistent, especially since the tab to its left and the address bar above it both feature rounded corners.

Therefore, I kindly request that this issue be addressed in a future update to provide a better visual experience when using vertical tabs.

how can i force the active tab to show? i am fairly sure this feature was in a previous edition. I have a large number of tabs and sometimes an app or video will start and i am forced to go back and forth thru all the tabs just so i can stop them.

I have Google Calendar open in a Firefox tab. I want to add the tab to my Mac desktop Dock for quick access. I've tried dragging the tab to the Desktop and then dragging from Desktop to the Dock without success, and searches generally return how-tos for only Chrome or Safari. Help!

Everytime I search something firefox duplicates the tab and refreshes instead of searches. It will do the same when tapping a result link. I have cleared cache, deleted my data, restarted my phone several times and removed all extensions but the problem persists. Is this a common issue or is there any easy fix? Im ready to give up and go back to chrome if nog

I have done everything i can possibly do to stop this problem and now its random. last night i lost 33 important tabs. everything in the settings and config file is checked off not to close the tabs yet they randomy close anyway. this is a deal breaker for me after years of putting up with it. unless someone can help its back to google i go.

The AI tab thing is a problem for me for multiple reasons. I found various articles about how to turn it off. They pointed to the following setting: In about:config set the setting "browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled" to false, and then restart Firefox.

However, when I do that, and then immediately go back to about:Config to check the setting, it has changed itself back to "true".

Other settings accept and keep permanent changes. This means that I'm not forgetting to save the change or anything. Just this one setting (which turns off something causing me problems) refuses to actually stay set.

I see the answer to this question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1509077 and tried looking there. There is a completed study called "Smart Tab Groups Rollout", but since it is in the "Completed Studies" group, I cannot remove it.

I have my tabs on the side because I simply find it easier, but I have noticed that when I scroll too fast in the tab-sidebar it sometimes creates gaps way too big (like you can see at the bottom of the image I sent). How can I fix this?

I have lost my tabs after the recent update. They used to show all tab groups in toolbar icon as mentioned here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups) in manage tabs section. Only the groups that were open are retained, the groups which were closed are lost. They contained important tabs which I haven't bookmarked. I didn't see any policy of removal of inactive tab groups after certain time, any help would be really appreciated. I use the desktop app on Linux.

I recently noticed that even though I have been closing firefox with several tabs open on my windows 11 laptop, upon closing firefox, all the tabs are getting closed. I checked if open tabs from previous sessions is on or not in settings and it is. I again checked several times by opening newer tabs and closing firefox to see if the old tabs are still open and they never are. This is a very annoying problem for me as I keep a lot of tabs open and switch between them and often need the same tabs again even after closing firefox temporarily. Is there a way I can fix this issue?

On those somewhat rare (but not all that infrequent) occasions when Firefox locks up and hard crashes and all 6 or 7 of the windows that are open go up in a puff of virtual smoke, (each with their uniquely organized selections of tabs) - upon a restart of FF all of the windows return reliably.

But when a clean shutdown of the program is initiated only the "top" window or two returns, and as far as I've seen there is a limited number to the "Recently Closed Windows" available to recover from the History menu.

Clearly the state of the applications windows is preservable - why not recover all of them, similar to the "on startup pick up where I left off" setting for pages and tabs.

(Incidentally Adobes applications exhibit similar behavior - the system actually works better and can recover the entire "workspace settings" but only if the power is abruptly cut off, (and no tedious waiting for updates to complete as a bonus!))

Maybe this is counter intuitive, and/or I don't understand pinned tabs, but is there a way to have pinned tabs visible in the tabs list, instead of hidden.

I find it very inconvenient in a variety of ways.

I've included a gif of the issue. I'm not sure how to "replicate" it.

I have Material Fox Updated installed, and I'm unsure if it contributed to the problem, since I see other threads about this issue as well.

I've tried removing extensions to no effect, so I assume none of my extensions are contributing to the issue either.

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.

On Chrome Android, the tab group feature is super handy. You can create tab clusters, easily group similar tabs together, and switch between them fluidly. It really helps when you’re multitasking or doing research across multiple topics.

Also, the tab accessibility on Chrome Android is just better. The tab switcher is placed at the bottom of the screen, making it effortless to access all open tabs with just a thumb tap no awkward menu diving or stretching to the top.

My Questions:

1. Is there any timeline or roadmap for bringing tab group functionality to Firefox Mobile?

2. Are there any known efforts or discussions around improving the UI/UX of tab switching such as adding a bottom bar for easier access, similar to Chrome’s approach?
