I used to use the Google browser and within that I had a tool where I could put what looked like a sticky note on my emails and make notes like when I received the email, when I followed through on it, etc. I hear there is a tool like that for Firefox named Tags but cannot find it in my Settings. Has anyone found this and can you tell me how to access it if you have?

Firefox on Android: how can I make it open new tabs in the same way as on a PC, rather than the other way round? How?

We’re on some website called xyz and there are links to articles there. If, on Android, we hover over a link and select ‘Open in a new tab’, we’ll get something like this: third open link, second open link, first open link However, on a PC, if we do the same thing, we’ll end up with first link, second link, third link According to what I’ve found online, this is controlled by the `browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent` setting in `about:config`. Only the Firefox app from Google Play has `about:config` disabled. So how do you change this?

failure to use container tabs for different AWS accounts

Hi, I was a heavy user of the multi-account containers extension. Since FF now has that functionality built in I disabled the extension recently (more than a week ago). My company keeps FF up to date - currently on 153.0.3 aarch64

All tests have been performed with other extensions (ublock origin and auto-reader view) disabled.

Since the last update (last wednesday I think, 5th. Aug.) I've been unable to access the AWS or Azure portals from a container tab, though it works correctly from the 'bare' browser.

I've cleared cookies and site data for the whole browser (made no difference)

I've cleared cookies and site data for the container tab - this now allows me to sign into Azure (which is a prerequisite to signing into AWS), but AWS is still blocked with a microsoft message "We cannot sign you in, try a different user name"

If I use the bare browser, no container, I can sign into the AWS SSO portal correctly.

What can I check to help diagnose this? MacOS Tahoe 26.6.1 Firefox 153.0.3

regards

It used to be really easy. I have Firefox set to open lots of tabs when starting. If I then decide I don't want some of those tabs any more I simply closed those tabs and then went to settings and there was a button to save my Homepage. Then I closed Firefox and next time I started it all my tabs, less those not required, would open. Now that doesn't seem to be possible.

How do I just get rid of the not required tabs? And, in the future, if I want to add more tabs how do I get them to open next time I start Firefox?

Tab groups feature not available on Firefox 153 for Android

I got a big announcement pop-up on Firefox desktop that support for mobile tab groups was added in 153 - https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/firefox/android/153.0/releasenotes/… (ebele ya kotanga)

I got a big announcement pop-up on Firefox desktop that support for mobile tab groups was added in 153 - https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/firefox/android/153.0/releasenotes/. I'm currently on 153.0.2 (Build #2016175759), and have no tab group feature.

Looking at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-firefox-android, none of these features are visible for me. Nothing in my tab area mentions groups, the section at the top (private/normal/other devices) doesn't have a "groups" section, and I can't drag tabs onto other tabs to create groups.

My only installed add-on is uBlock Origin. Is there any reason this feature isn't available for me?

In previous versions of firefox for ipad, a blue notification was shown temporarily at the bottom of the screen when a tab was closed, allowing to tab This was really helpful, as it happens quite frequently, that I hit the close icon accidentally when switching tabs. Any chance this feature can be enabled again? Thanks

Tabs do not restore, although that option is checked. History shows old tabs, not tabs at time of Firefox exit.

MacOS 26.6, Latest Firefox. 153.0.3. Tabs are not restoring, since update to latest FF. Tab History shows old stale tabs, not the tabs that were present at time of exiting Firefox. I had closed those tabs. Is this an artifact of caching?

The active tabs should be stored at FF shutdown, not the old closed tabs prior to that. This Firefox quirk is both on my Mac Mini M4, and on my MacBook Pro M3. Kind of a pain in the neck to restore where I was. It's enough to make me reconsider this browser - which I have used for decades, using Windows, Linux and now MacOS.

I researched how to restore a session. It told me to go to History and click Restore Session. There is no line with that name, in my Firefox, on a Mac.

Under History the docs show 4 items before "Clear recent history...", I only have 1. Recently closed tabs 2. Recently closed windows 3. Search history. There is no Restore session.

The tabs that were open last session are in the start up window, and the check box is set to restore tabs and windows. But my tabs were not restored. (I only had a single window open.)

What can be done to "restore" previous behavior of Restore Tabs and Windows? Thanks for any and all assistance.

Hi, firefox: 153.0 Yesterday evening I put 3 tabs in a "group tab" I decided to call "ARS".

This morning I don't see how I can re-open this group tab. Many topics speak about a button "list all tabs". That button doesn't appear in my firefox (even when I have 50 tabs open). I tried the "customize" menu of firefox and "got back to factory setting", but it is still not there.

When I go to the contextual menu of a tab, I see that I can add it to a new container or the "closed group tab - ARS". When I do so for a tab, it closes. (I'm not sure it's normal.)

At this point, I really just want to remove the tab group (because I already re-opened the tabs... it took 5s, fixing the problem is now entering the 20'...) but I don't see how I can do it. It appears nowhere. I even "deactivated the group tab" feature and then reactivated it... the "ARS" group tab still appears in the "closed group tabs" submenu.

Thank you for the information.
