Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

my problem is that whenever I try to use form fill it will input everything and when it gets to the phone number it will add +1 to the entry so my phone number will be an incorrect or invalid number meaning that I will need to manually enter the information anyways which is kind of frustrating because what is the point

all the sights I've used for years will not open and will not work I can't even use them any more they work fine in other browsers don't know what you did but it is almost unusable

yesterdays settings were upgraded. This firefox upgrade completely messed up my desktop computer -can not access many sites as before. Want to go back to the last upgrade

There is a perfectly functional search bar in the middle of my homepage. why do I have to search with the anything but "awesomebar"? I have made so many changes to about:config true to false false to true firefox will probably never work again properly. There should be a check box somewhere in settings to toggle this on and off. Newer is not always better

How do I revert back to the previous version of Firefox?

Youtube not working after most recent update, computer fans get stuck on, Firefox wont shut down, have to end task to get computer fans to shut off.

Whoever did the last update is working for the occult to destroy our computers and silence and isolate us.

This appears to be a new "feature" that is absolutely insanely stupid.

There are websites that use a phone number as a user ID and now, instead of that number being remembered by Firefox as a user ID, Firefox now inserts a list of EVERY possible phone number you've ever typed, for you to chose from. The irony in my case being that the phone number in question that was being used as a user ID, is NOT in the list.....

Anyone know how to turn it off? Thanks - Brett

Very often, Firefox asks at startup: “Should I open Firefox every time I restart my computer?” I don’t need this function, how can I remove this request forever?

There are only two buttons: 1. Yes, open Firefox 2. Not now :(

Hi, I open a lot of links on my andorid phone and want to read them on my laptop. I synched both devices so I am able to open my Android tabs from my laptop, but now I want to definitely close the pages I've read on both devices, but when I right-click on the tab in the 'tabs from other devices' list, the option "Close tab on Firefoxe #android#" is greyed, How can I use this very option I was looking for ?

It would be nice to be able to add notes to passwords so I know what they are about and organise them into an alphabetic list. Another useful feature would be the ability to create folders to organise passwords into groups.

Hello,

I'm using lasted version of Firefox Desktop and also using Kaspersky VPN. Whenever vpn is deactivated I cannot connect some websites. I just clicked and nothing happens. But if i tried with activated vpn, it's connecting.

I was trying to solve this problem but cant find solution.

PS. I did try on other browsers(Edge and Opera). I just connecting whatever is vpn status.

Whenever I click on the Firefox icon to start, instead of FF, AOL comes up. I looked on my C: program list and it is not listed so I can't delete it. It just started doing this in the last week. I tried downloading FF again with no luck. Its on an old windows 10 machine.

when i booted up my laptop this morning i notice all of my tab groups were gone. i know how to get to where the tab groups are held, but when i click on the down arrow thing none of my saved tab groups appear. is there any way i can get them back? i used them for art references so theyre pretty important to me

I always have multiple tabs open in my browser. Previously, I could easily open (and switch between) 20+ tabs (I have 16GB of RAM). Recently, after opening five tabs, the Task Manager shows 10-11GB of RAM (88-90%) in use! How can this be? I cleared the cache and history, but it didn't help. I installed several RAM cleaners, but none freed up the required amount. None of the five programs worked. Where does that 15GB of RAM go when I open Firefox? When will you finally implement something like Google Chrome—they free up RAM for active pages when inactive ones are opened. Maybe it's because I have so many inactive tabs that the RAM is disappearing? But I had just as many tabs before, some of them inactive, and fewer than 20 active ones, so I could easily open another 20. And now I can't even open five new ones. What's happening to the browser?! SOS!

I’ve encountered a problem with Firefox that it fills up the RAM memory to the brim (12Gb) and especially when you’re on Facebook, it doesn’t empty the RAM memory but the data remains, you have to close Firefox and lose your web page, it just fills up, Why, should it be like this, very annoying!!!? :flushed_face: //A-B/Sweden
