For some time now, when opening Firefox, I do not find the tabs I opened in the previous session. I've checked that the "Open previous windows and tabs" box is checked, but it didn't help. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh .EXE file, but that didn't work either. I've searched for resources on the subject but haven't found a solution to my problem. I should mention that I'm not a computer expert and I'm not exactly young any more.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I am having a frequent annoying misclick with the Tab List View on android. I prefer the list view as the grid view requires too much scrolling for multiple tabs.

By default the most recent tab appears at the bottom of the list view. That makes sense, place it closest to my thumbs near the bottom of the screen.

However, upon swiping away or closing any tab, the undo toast banner also appears at the bottom of the screen. Directly over the bottom list item.

I often find myself wanting to close the bottom tab and open the second to bottom tab, however I just hit the undo button instead. Made worse by the tab list quickly sliding down to fill the screen and placing the next most recent tab directly under the overlay.

Is there any way to adjust the location of the undo overlay?

Preferably the overlay would not be directly in the way of the latest tab...?

Perhaps, a cleaner solution would not be an overlay at all... When closing a tab, replace the whole closed tab entry in the tab list with an undo message and button for the duration of the undo overlay. This could swipe in to match the swipe to close gesture of the user. That would avoid avoid the list moving around on the screen mid user input as well.

Not sure if this is the best route for feature requests but the tab list has been bugging me lol.

Keep up the great work Mozilla & community.

Thanks

when i open my firefox, all of my previous opened tabs goes blank and only 1 rightmost recent tab can be open, that was my last night tab,next i close firefox and open again and my tabs its all gone

Hello,

Is there an option to view the text for the pinned tab? Or add a custom text for them? This is because i would have multiple pinned tabs with the same icon.

my top bar comes up with dozens of internet pages trying to load when I open any internet page. Have not made any changes to anything. Pita to delete a dozen items trying to load every time I open Firefox. How do I turn that off? Tried looking for way to do that for hours and found nothing.

Two days ago while using Firefox my interface/window changed. Whereas before I could have many, many tabs opened across the top of my window, suddenly they are gone. I now have one place where I can put in my new search and no ability to easily access formerly opened tabs. So if I am in my gmail account I can open different tabs/searches and go back and forth between them and my gmail or between search and search. I like to keep open tabs that I want to return to easily - things I haven't completed reading, things I need to get back to to fill out something, etc. Now I can't get to them easily. I know that there is a history, but I am may be wanting to find a tab that I opened two weeks ago and don't remember the date or the name. If they were still opened in this bar across the top (and I am not referring here to bookmarks), I can find them. When I no longer want them opened I delete them. I don't know if this problem is due to the recent Firefox update or if I did something by mistake that caused this. It is making my use of Firefox as my browser very cumbersome and impractical. I also can't spend hours and hours reading through Firefox materials to see if I can find a way out of this problem. Ideally, if I could speak to an actual help desk person, that would be great. I am an 80 year old woman who would like to be able to keep up with all my interests and activities and not being able to use Firefox in the way that I have will really be an obstacle. Thank you for any help that will be offered. Louise

Let's say I have a group of 5 tabs. If I open a new tab from any of those tabs, I want that new tab to end up at the right of the group but not part of it.

Can I do that?

In previous versions there was the option to "select all tabs" and then comfortably send these to whatever program on android i selected (i choose my messenger to share them with another person for example or sent them to a textprogram to export the tabs to a list) now the "select all tabs" option is no more and i have to select every tab ONE BY ONE which is a horrible experience if oyu have 100+ tabs open. i do not understand why the "select al ltabs" option has been removed (maybe due to the new UI style?) and kindly ask to restore the option to "SELECT ALL TABS", this would greatly improve useability, many thanks!

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

Three days ago this started happening. When I mouse over the Firefox icon on my task bar, I get a long vertical list of open tabs, the majority of which are blank. When you try to click the X (that appears on the right side of the list when you mouse over a blank space) nothing happens. In the past few days it showed a random mix of blank tabs and open tabs. Yesterday it only showed the open tabs at the top with a long list of blanks below. And today it's only showing the one tab I have active (despite having up to five tabs open before I took the picture).

Before this all started happening, it used to show large tab previews (not just text) that run horizontally along the bottom of my screen when I hover my mouse over the Firefox icon on the taskbar. Now it's just a list that goes vertically with all these blank tabs.

How to return things to normal? (tab previews horizontally without blanks)

I'm running Windows 11 Home, Version 25H2, OS build 26200.7623 and Firefox: 147.0.1 (64-bit)

Thank you, John

So frustrating. Been a Firefox user for nearly two decades and this is first ongoing issue I have not been able to fix . . .

I work with 7-10 open tabs at any given time. Whenever I close a tab, my entire browser shifts and resizes. It's quite disruptive.

I've gone into AI and done some config troubleshooting, but nothing working.

iMac using Tahoe.

Thanks, C Smith

After the last update, the app does not keep the tabs I had open before I closed it, despite the fact that I have had this setting enabled in the settings for as many years as I have been using the browser. Don’t ruin the programs when you update them. You drive away the people who support you because you create disruption.

On Android, with the OS set to use the bottom 3 buttons (back, home, app switcher) and Firefox set to use bottom address bar, when multiple tabs are open, closing a tab causes the "Tab Closed" bar to cover the lowest tab in the list.

This causes problems when trying to close multiple tabs because it's no longer possible to hit the "X" marking on the next tab without swiping the box away first.

I don't recall exactly then this became a problem, but it was fine until a few months ago and then a change caused this issue to start.

There's a lot of empty space in the box, maybe smush the box to the left side of the screen so the next tab is still able to be closed?

On Firefox for Android, on the Tabs window (screenshots attached), there is a UI error or oversight. This is a relatively recent problem, maybe related to the huge UI overhaul. The tabs extend too low on the page so that when I close a tab, the "Tab Closed" notification covers the bottom-most tab. This is a big annoyance when I'd just like to close several tabs in rapid succession (because the X is now blocked, so I end up smashing the X, Undo, X, Undo buttons repeatedly). Is there any momentum to undo or fix this issue?

When I close the last tab in the list of tabs, the notification that pops up blocks the "x" for the next tab. This makes it tedious to close multiple tabs, since I have to wait for the notification to disappear before being able to close the next tab. Are there any work-arounds?

There is a numbers left address bar, when I click there is nothing but a word create new tab for searching. I have to swipe left right all over to find the right tab i want. Do not tel me that I can search tab,, it's not ver confinence.. it is stressful

Search open tabs in Firefox not working it worked some time ago but now not.

I have intense work with multiple tabs so it was very handy but I lost it, I expect some about:config adjustment hints.
