In Protonmail (or is it Firefox?), while reading email I discovered that my tabs apparently disappeared, but then I discovered that my tabs and my Protonmail are now in separate browser windows. Is that because of the update, or something else? I really want my browser to keep my Protonmail tab in the same browser window. HELP.

Until the most recent version(s) (at least through 148), if I have multiple windows open, the restore tab hotkey (control + shift + t) would open a closed tab in the previous window it had been closed in. Now, it opens the tab in whichever window I currently have focus on. It also used to remember the tab's previous location with regards to order among other tabs; now it opens it at the end of all tabs.

Example: I have two windows open, window A and window B. Window A has 5 tabs; window B has 10 tabs. I close tab 3 of Window B.

Old behavior: Pressing restore tab hotkey (control + shift + t) would cause the closed tab to always open in window B regardless of which window currently had focus, and would open it between tabs 2 and 4, as tab 3 again.

New behavior: Pressing restore tab hotkey (control + shift + t) will now cause the closed tab to open in whichever window has focus, A or B, and open as the last tab; for instance, if I am in window A, it will open as tab 6, if I am in window B, it will now open as tab 10, instead of tab 3.

Is there any way to restore the old behavior? At the very least, to get the windows to separate out the restore tab lists? I don't want tabs restoring to incorrect windows.

Hey guys, so I always have a bunch of tab groups as it helps me organize my tabs. But every time I accidentally close Firefox or my pc resets, all the tab groups are gone. UNLIKE google chrome where, even if I close chrome they will be on the toolbar for me to open again. So could you please add this feature on firefox as well because this is getting very irritating because I have to open the individual tabs again and again? Thank you.

Hello all,

I can see that I can access hidden tabs from firefox menu > History > Hidden Tabs. I have non hidden tabs in my permanent session that is saved/reload whenever I close/open Firefox.

I searched in the support section of Mozilla and found that I can use extensions to hide tabs and find these hidden tabs through History > Hidden Tabs to access or simply unhide any of those tabs.

My question is what would be the benefit of hiding any tab? For privacy? If so, is hiding tabs really efficient to protect tabs content and/or browsing history?

I could see that some extensions offer to protect hidden tabs with a password and even automatically unload tabs upon hiding them.

Thanks in advance to shed some light on this hiding feature.

What have you done to the Settings feature? It's a mess with those weird little icons on the side. I am just trying to figure out why my tabs keep closing on me. I can have about six tabs open with intention of going back to them, and then..poof.. they disappear. I went into Settings to see what I might have changed but I can't figure this out.

Hope you can help. thanks.

In Firefox 152.0.5 under Windows 10, when I hover the mouse pointer over a tab, a balloon pops up showing the text that is on the tab. I find this extremely annoying as I can read what is on the tab. I have searched on the Mozilla site, and I have searched with Google, all to no avail. How can I disable those redundant popup balloons?

Last night Firefox on my laptop performed an automatic Firefox update.. The Firefox that was installed can only display a single tab. This is a major for me, since I normally work with multiple tabs. This problem may impact a large number of Firefox users. The documented recommended fix for this problem did not fix the problem.

My last automatic upgrade to Firefox installed a version of Firefox that allows only 1 tab.. This is very frustrating. I need multiple tabs. I searched for solutions, but have not been able to fix the problem. I have used Firefox for over 10 years. Please help change Firefox to support multiple tabs, or I am going to have to find an alternative to Firefox. Having multiple tabs is critical to me.

When using a tab inside a collapsed tab group, if "open link in new tab" option is used, the tab group expands unprompted. As a result I have to keep collapsing the tab group again and again and again, slowing down the browsing experience. Is there a fix for it?

When will the drag-and-drop link-to-open-new-tab feature be restored? Previous versions had this feature, which was very convenient, especially when wanting to open multiple tabs at once. Now it can only be done through the right-click menu, which is very user-unfriendly. I raised this issue a long time ago and never received a response. I hope this feature can be restored as soon as possible; otherwise, I will switch to Chrome.

Can the quantity of tabs ever get so large that finally one more tab wont open? What are the max count of tabs recommended, and when should they be removed to start over?

Почему при нажатии клавиши F11 (полноэкранный режим) не сворачиваются вертикальные вкладки? Почему нет ручного скрытия вертикальных вкладок?

________________________________ Why doesn't pressing the F11 (full screen) key minimize the vertical tabs? Why is there no manual hiding of vertical tabs?

how do i now set current tabs

Your new system doesn't allow us to SET CURRENT TABS ON OPENING BROWSER

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SETTING, BY FAR !!!!

HOW DO WE NOW " SET CURRENT TABS ON OPENING BROWSER "

YOU ELIMINATED THAT SETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ELIMINATED THAT SETTING THE MOST IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I updated to FireFox 151.0.3 and now I can no longer drag my tabs. I drag tabs all the time. I drag them to rearrange the order. I drag them to put a bookmark in the folder I want in the position in the list that I want. I sometimes drag tabs to make tab groups. None of that is working now.

If I have a window open and open a new window without remembering to ask for a new window it overwrites the existing window. How to make it automatically open a new window?

I started using a tab group to organize my tabs and save it. I was able to open it from the overflow menu before but now there is no trace of it there. Surely there is a way to see the history of tab groups and recover it right...
