Firefox Community Forum

I made a tab group i saved it and closed it save memory, but i don't know how to find it to restore it I assumed after saving it there would be a list in my menu of saed tab groups for latter restore but i see nothing in the menu....

i normally have over 200 tabs open, but i've been getting lag and memory issue with my pc so I thought i'd uses this feature to close and organize some of my tabs....but i can't figure out were the menu that lists my saved tab groups...

When I open firefox it loads 14 different tabs, if you view it from the task manager in Windows. It only shows one tab, when homepage is opened initially but clearly it's loading more in the background.

I have run the troubleshoot function as well as restart app (within fierfox settings)

I have also emptied the cache

I have pinned tab, but reaching them is inconvenient. I have to wait until the "List al tabs" menu appears. Is there such a thing as having the pinned tabs always visible at the beginning of the tab bar?

I also like this new sidebar pop out. Is there any way to place selected tabs there? There is this 'Tabs form other devices" options. Since that is the case, I don't understand the point of not allowing us to put tabs ion that sidebar from anywhere we like.

Hello, I periodically check to see if there is a way to stop dynamic tab resizing without having to edit the registry. I have tried several methods involving tab size in settings and nothing has worked to stop the dynamic resizing. Any new ideas out there?

Hello and happy new year Mozilla !

I just saw that there isn't 'list tabs' (V) in the vertical layout. Did you have any idea of how to rectify this small oversight ? Thank for this browser. <3

Bye bye

This has been infuriating me for a few weeks now, I accidentally close tabs all the time when using Firefox and I normally right click the top and click the "Reopen closed tab option. However since this change, I have constantly been miss clicking on the "Turn On Vertical Tabs" options which is incredibly infuriating because It adds 3 more clicks to just reopening a tab. This "Feature" cannot be turned off no matter how hard I try and I am very close to switching to another browser due to this.

Using Firefox 145.0 (64-bit), "Firefox is up to date" on PC with Windows 11 Pro.

I was so pleased when Firefox's Group Tabs arrived. I often have about 12 tabs open to do Railway research. So I thought, Group Tab, great idea. Save a group of tabs as one tab. Instead of creating a Bookmark Folder and each time opening all bookmarks from said folder, what better way to do than opening one tab. Or so I thought. I also created a "SHIP" tab for my hobby in the shipping industry, so I could have two group tabs that could be collapsed making the tab bar tidier. I saved an closed each group tab then closed down my PC. Next on restarting, Firefox starts up automatically as chosen by me. Both RAIL & SHIP tabs reappeared without me doing anything. Great! However yesterday, I inadvertently opened another Firefox window, forgot it was opened. So when I shut down my PC, I closed the Firefox browser and then discovered the over Firefox window I had opened. Closed it shut down my computer. Of course when I opened my PC today, Firefox started automatically, but with the tab that I had open in the last Firefox window. No problem I thought, I will just open the saved Group Tabs. It was a problem, where are the Group Tabs saved? Could I find the location? NO! I looked in Bookmarks, all the various History lists, even the down arrow to list all tabs. Nothing, the Group Tabs are none existent. I have checked on the "about:config" section for Group Tabs and everything is enabled "true". So where are the Group Tabs saved? I have been with Firefox for around 14 years, often citing it as the best browser. But over the last five years I find myself using Chrome more and more. Chrome has Group Tabs which do not not need the users to save them, they are saved automatically, and are easily found on opening the Chrome browser. Why doesn't Firefox have this?

I have set the minimum size of tabs to 50 in about:config, but I still usually have more pinned and regular tabs than will fit, and it goes into the overflow arrows. Is there an add-on or configuration where I can have the tab overflow as a drop-down?

TIA for any help you can give me.

Can anyone explain to me why Firefox apparently can't seem to maintain its open tabs? In a world where every other browser appears to retain active tabs between sessions, it seems Firefox will permanently lose all of them if you so much as blow on it, i.e., inadvertently close a tabless window, effectively overwriting any previous window with the open tabs. At the very least, other browsers allow users to recover any lost tabs, and even entire windows of tabs, with little effort. The fact that this hasn't been addressed is perplexing.

All of my tabs at the top of the Firefox window have vanished. There's a list of websites at the left side to choose -- but I am not able to open more than one window. I want to restore all of my tabs!

For a week my pinned tabs are lost every time I open Firefox. I have checked my settings, they were the same as always. I have de-selected them, closed and re-opened firefox, selected them again, closed and re-opened again, pinned my tabs again. Then closed and re-opened firefox and still they are not there. I have done this multiple time with the same results. This seems to have started after the last update.

every time i go to open a link it puts me in a new tab, even trying to use the original way of changing the preferences in the browser itself doesn't work, it either opens a new window or new tab. i dont like new tabs or new windows created while searching or opening links, please help :/

In many cases when one opens a new tab, the new one is opened on the right of the "parent tab". After reading the web page of the new tab, one often decides that the new tab is no longer useful and deletes it. Firefox automatically opens the tab on the right of the deleted tab, rather than resuming the "parent tab" on the left. This seems to be an ineffective design as probabilistically there are perhaps >90% chance one wants to go back to the "parent tab".

Q1: should Firefox change the default for resuming the left? Q2: is there a setting that user can change?

Not sure if this is the right place. There is a troubleshooting section in this article. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups

While it may be obvious, for some reason it didn't connect. I was trying to group pinned tabs. It doesn't work. I have to unpin them, if I want to group them. If someone could add to it? I'm likely not the only one.

Thanks, Jan

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.
