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

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

I tend to have a lot of tabs open at a time and even with the Customize Sidebar > Hide tabs and sidebar checkbox ticked, it is still distracting at times. Could you please help me find a setting/way so that I can hide it and make it re-appear when I hover on it only. Kinda like how we have on windows taskbar? Much appreciated.

On android phones, you can disable the gesture hint (white bar at bottom of screen). Other apps I have tried while having it disabled have no issue. With Firefox however... when gesture hint is off and i swipe up from the bar, my finger is technically swiping at the address bar, which (aside of sending me to home - because that's what the up gesture does on the bottom) opens the tab switcher.

I have lots (~100) of tabs open, distributed among windows and virtual desktops. Every now and then the laptop fan starts running wildly, and I identify a CPU hogging webpage in about:processes. How can I now switch to the open window/tab of that webpage to close or unload it? I would expect a click (or context menu item) within about:processes to bring me there. Currently I have to scan through all desktops/windows/tabs to find the page.

Hi! I´m a big shortcut user and a year-long Firefox fan and user. Now it´s the first time I´m using an Android tablet (Boox Tab X C) and the typical shortcuts for new tab (Ctrl + T), close tab (Ctrl + W), etc. do not work. I researched this a little and it seems to be by design. Why do you forsake us, Firefox god??

In any case, thanks for the good work folks. Love the Mozilla name and what it stands for for a long time now. Peace

Hi Everyone! I am having some trouble figuring out how to get rid of these "phantom" windows. They appear after I do a sign-in to my Google or Facebook account and it opens in a new window. The windows stay open in the background, or at least my Macbook shows them as windows as if they are still open. Whenever I click on them they just go to my most recently opened tab on Firefox and never actually allow me to click on them or see the tab. I've tried looking for them in the "open tabs" section on Firefox, and it doesn't show them there either. I added a photo to show that the "phantom" window is separate from my currently open browser on Firefox.

If anyone knows how to get rid of these, I would so appreciate your help! Thanks!!!

I've noticed for awhile that when exiting Firefox (currently 150.0.3) open tabs no longer close. When I re-enter Firefox (new start) I no longer get my home page. I've tried all key combination of exiting as well as the X. I searched this community and WWWeb and found nothing usefull.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Rodney

All my Tabs Group have disappeared from the Tab Bar. I can see the Closed Tab Groups in the drop down but i can't find a way to re-open Closed Tab Groups. Any clues welcome. Running 146.0 and on the beta update channel.

Firefox deleted older open tabs on my samsung phoone and my ipad. This was really gutting as these were open for a reason. I was not logged into either instance as I wanted to preserve my privacy as best as possible.

Por algum motivo, meu firefox está abrindo conforme a página inicial configurada, contudo, sempre deixei para retornar com as guias que ficam em aberto e por algum motivo, meu firefox bloqueou a opção de abrir já com as guias da sessão anterior.

Não sei se é coincidência, mas está acontecendo após esta ultima atualização (19-05-2026), alguém mais está com este problema?

Minha alternativa será abrir minhas páginas todas novamente, e configurar para o firefox pegar as URLs como pagina inicial padrão...

So, forgive me, I'm a little frustrated right now, but I needed to move an Open Tab to it's own window, without the use of my mouse (yes, it's having issues right now), but: I used to do this by tabbing to the TAB in question and pressing <Shift> F10, which opened a context menu with a Move To sub-menu. Now the menu didn't have that option. see pic below. ...Yes, I was able to do the same via, File | New Window, and coping the address to it with Windows cut/paste and <Alt><Tab>. Still I would like to know how to get to the TAB context menu option without the mouse.

Moderator note: this question has been edited to correct the formatting.

I had a bunch of tabs open (apparently in Window 2). One of the tabs had some page I wanted to close. I hit the x and all the tabs disappeared. I went to view recent browsing and the tabs are there in Window2. But when I click on window 2, they don't go back up to the top. If i click on the up arrow they go away, but come back when i click same (now down) arrow again. I want them back up on the top to use. WHERE do new windows come from. EXPLAIN this to me.

That tab grouping "feature" really is too much like modern software developers' tendency to roll out a new "feature" and turn it on automatically no matter how annoying some users may find it. Some times when a mouse cursor goes too far and wanders into that tab zone, Firefox starts grouping tabs. Please allow us to turn the thing off.

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,

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.
