It is with a great deal of anxiety and concern I relay this issue. The mozilla webpage I have been using with great effect has crashed today without warning. Can a technical staff assist immediately. The long term damage is real and has an unfortunate side effect.

There was something changed with the latest update 156.0.1 in regards to how new tabs open. I have been using the extension "Always right" for years as I wanted all my newly opened tabs and bookmarked websites to open right next to the one I am at, in order that I open them in. Had no issues until the recent update. So tabs and bookmarks.

To explain this better, lets start with tabs only. Scenario 1 - say the tab I am on is "youtube" and the tab right from it at this moment is "google" tab. So: youtube > google > rest of tabs. While on youtube, I click on 3 videos/links from that "youtube" tab to be opened as new tabs, in the order that I want to watch them, using the middle mouse button. It used to open them in order: youtube > 1st vid > 2nd > 3rd > google > rest. In other words, it pushed the "google" tab and opened the new video tabs in order that I clicked them in between the two. Scenario 2 - bookmarked toolbar links. They behave similar but slightly different since opening those instantly jumps to the tab, which is fine. If I use the middle mouse button to open amazon for example while I am on the "youtube" tab, it would do the same thing: youtube > amazon > google > rest, only it will instantly jump to amazon, but the important part is that amazon is next to the tab I was on (youtube in this case).

Now though, in scenario 1 with tabs, if I open 3 new video tabs from the "youtube" tab, the LATEST one is the one that ends up next to the first one, so youtube > 3rd video > 2nd > 1st > google > rest. In other words, ANY new tab is forced next to the current one, rather than in the order of opening like it was before.

Turning the extension off "fixes" scenario 1 and opens them in order again, but then opening a bookmarked website from your toolbar shoots you ALL THE WAY to the right. So scenario 2 is ruined. To extend on the previous example from scenario 2, if I have "youtube" and "google" is next to it, and I go to open amazon from my toolbar, it goes youtube > google > rest > amazon. With 3 tabs that might not be that big of an issue, but when you have 100 tabs and I am currently doing work on tab 1, your bookmarked link that you just opened with middle mouse button suddenly catapults you and opens as 101 instead of 2... I hope this is a bit clearer as to why it is a problem. You could have both scenarios work before with just this simple extension, but the update is now forcing me to choose between tabs opening properly in order as they should OR bookmark toolbar links opening next to the one I am on.

If there was some change to how tabs open in the latest update and the idea was to no longer need the extension, can we at least have the option to ALSO have any new websites opened from the bookmark toolbar open NEXT to our current one rather than at the very end?

I already have a windows vpn and do not want the mozilla vpn subscription when i run out of the free 50 gb of data. How do i disable it ?

It seems you are only trying to monetise it instead of being of service like you always were.

Thank you

i have setup mozilla blue star and saved into other bookmarks the ffox tab docs that ai worked on with gemini ai. now when i try and open the docs from the other book marks they will not open. what has gone wrong and can i get a copy and save these docs? i can see the tags and google links but cannot open etc. i am desperate as it has taken a few weeks to get this information together. Thankyou!

I put my question in but instead of answering it sent me to MoZilla with pages of common sense, mostly, and somehow lost my question. Oh Well I have long felt that Firefox is not helpful.

Recently, in last two months, when using the Firefox website browser, I cannot print some, but not all, website articles on my Brother Laser Printer. Articles from Website www.zerohedge.com will not print. Articles from other websites print fine. My Firefox version is: Firefox Version 156.0.1, Build ID 20260921121718. other troubleshooting information: User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:156.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/156.0 OS Windows_NT 10.0 26200.

I am running Windows 11 home, Version 25H2, installed 7/9/2026.,

I have cleared the "saved print settings" button with no solution. Still won't print.

Your thoughts please. Kind regards, John T.

When I start Firefox, open the application menu, and select Bookmarks, about 50 Bookmarks are displayed under "Recent bookmarks". Many of the bookmarks are not recent. Some are months old and several might be years old.

I've used Firefox for years and only noticed this because I'm trying to help a friend who is having trouble with and old Windows 10 laptop. I installed Firefox 1560.1 (64bit) and added a lot of folders and bookmarks using "Manage bookmarks" or Ctrl-Shift-o. It currently only has 42 bookmarks displayed under "Recent Bookmarks" because I started Rt-clicking and deleting them before I figured that this deletes the bookmark that I had added to a folder in addition to removing it from the Recent bookmark list.

I feel this feature (Recent Bookmarks) totally negates the privacy and security that the Clear Browsing data and Never remember history options USED to give me.
