Firefox Community Forum

In the last update the plus sign to open a new tab was moved from the left side to the far right of the screen. I find this very inconvenient. Just wondering if this bothers anyone else. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version of Firefox?

I had 6 groups in the sidebar showing when I closed Firefox last night. Today when I opened Firefox there was only one group showing how do I get the other groups re-displayed in the sidebar? I am finding no clues when using the last line in searching help

Hi there,

I'm using vertical tabs (loving), but I'm wondering if there's a way when creating a new tab to have it at the start rather than the end. Thanks!

All the application windows I had opened on my Mac, closed due to a security related update. Now Firefox isn't showing any of my tab groups from before and also there's a weird behavior when you click on the Firefox icon, it opens a new window that is small, but when you do file > new window it also opens a window but full sized. I tried creating a new tab group and the second approach of doing file > new window is showing the tab group in the tab group menu, but the window created by doubling clicking the icon doesn't show it.

I rely heavily on tab groups to organize my browser sessions for different tasks and projects. I’ve experienced an issue where, after saving+closing tab groups, they disappear from the “Recent Tab Groups” section after some time. This means (EVERYTHING IS LOST) I have to recreate my organized tabs from scratch each time, which is a "significant workflow disruption" (to say lightly). I understand tab groups are designed to persist across sessions and the hinting fox menu says they should be available for reopening in “Recent Tab Groups” at anytime, but I’m finding this isn’t consistently working (on several devices I use). I’m hoping to understand if there’s a limitation or known issue with how tab groups are stored, and whether there’s a more reliable way to preserve these groupings long term. It’s possible others are running into this behavior too, and I’d appreciate insight into whether this is a known issue or if I’m missing something in how tab groups are managed. Perhaps a future patch could address this persistence problem for long term reliability?

i found this article somewhat related, but not really... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1510334

I use tab groups to save work sessions so I can easily close and reopen them when I need them. I typically use the downward arrow to see all of my tab groups, however, when I opened my laptop today, there are only two tab groups there and no "show all" option. When I opened my laptop today, I did see that Firefox had been closed unexpectedly and the restore sessions option, which I used. The two tab groups I had open when I left my laptop opened again when I used restore sessions, but now those are the only two tab groups I seem to have. How can I get back all of my other tab groups?

Following an update in february, when I close my session, firefox asks if I want to close all my tabs, if I said yes, when I open the following session I have to fish manually all my tabs in the historic or in the group of tabs. I have the same setting for years with reopen the tabs on the next session etc, and now, I have to quit without closing the browser and shut down the computer with firefox running if I want to have my usual tabs on the next day on my profile. If I quit and close the tabs ( 63...) my profile is empty. No more pined tabs or group of tabs. Can someone explain how to fix that? Thank you

I just reinstalled Firefox after resetting my computer so I was clicking around and making some personal adjustments. Now, everytime I add a tab it also open a window for that tab. Which is very annoying because I often use a lot of tabs at the same time for my research. I don't know why this has happened, maybe I accidentally clicked on something in the setting? I’m not very good with computer so I really need help with this. Thanks!

Multiple attempts to post this and get help - my tab groups randomly closed and they are all gone. I spent a lot of time gathering up tabs into the right groups for big projects and trips. Somehow a window closed - accidentally, leaving only my inbox one open. I tried to no avail to find tab groups, restore history (option not given), and other ways to restore this.

I had been excited about the option of tab groups, and in the past they always reopened after a restart. But today they disappeared in the middle of session. It's tons of work and time lost and I don't think I'll use them again. What a disappointment.

I really REALLY don't like tab buttons

How can I make sure they NEVER come back ?

I have tried the violentmonkey script, doesn't work, I have it right now and look, there are TWO tab buttons on my tab !

I have an issue with grouped tabs but I know where the grouped tabs are, I click the arrow facing down and it doesn't show the grouped tabs that I had, I don't know if it's because I turned off my PC when firefox was still open but I do that most of the time, when I opened firefox it said that it couldn't restore previous session or something like that and next thing I notice is that all my grouped tabs are gone. Is there a way to get them back?
