It won't save open tabs when I close Firefox. Each time I have to go to: Setting>>History>>Recently closed windows. In General settings it's ticked Open previous windows and tabs. I already tried to turn off all extensions.

Sorry but I really don't like these hover 'tooltips-boxes' that appear on the tabs if I hover them - and I'm trying to turn them off!

I have set all three of these to FALSE but they are still there after reboot.

browser.tabs.cardPreview => FALSE browser.tabs.cardPreview.enabled => FALSE browser.tabs.cardPreview.showThumbnails => FALSE

I really love Firefox’s new Split View feature. The Alt + Click shortcut to create vertical split pages works perfectly and greatly improves my multitasking workflow for side-by-side tab comparison. However, there is currently no native keyboard shortcut to cancel / exit Split View and separate tabs without closing either page. To undo split view, users have to rely entirely on mouse operations: right-click tabs or click the divider menu. This breaks keyboard-first browsing efficiency and creates unnecessary extra clicks every time I finish comparing pages.

Feature Request

Please add a dedicated built-in shortcut to quickly separate tabs and close Split View. A simple key like Esc or a custom combination such as Ctrl+Shift+Alt+X or something would be ideal, matching the convenient Alt+Click way to trigger split view.

I'm trying to replicate my windows setup in Fedora 42. I have been really liking the new vertical sidebar tabs option in windows. I have a lot of tabs and so rely on inertial scrolling to flick through them quickly.

However, there's odd behaviour with this in linux. With the window protocol set to xwayland, inertial scrolling on the sidebar tabs works, but inertial scrolling does not work in websites. Setting the window protocol to wayland (the general online recommendation to fix inertial scrolling), inertial scrolling in the tab list does not work, making them much less useful.

I have carefully located all tabs in groupings suitable for me. Therefore, I do not want AI to make any changes. How can I ensure that Mozilla's AI does NOT make any changes to the groupings in which I have put my tabs.

With FF 140.0 on both WIn10 and WIn11, new tabs opened automatically then closed after less than a second. Initially I thought this was due to malware, but on inspecting the History, I found the source of this annoying behavior:

// SidebarUtil.tab.js

// This is just a placeholder file to be loaded in a temporary tab to check if a sidebar is open and how wide it is.

Is there a way to STOP this sidebar checking with its tab opening/closing without disabling Java entirely ? Is this annoying behavior really necessary in FF ?

I have all of my settings appropriately set according to all recommendations and instructions. When my Firefox opened it had a notice that it had updated. However, when it opened ALL of my previously opened tabs were gone. I need them ALL restored since I am a business owner and masters student and rely on them being readily available.

Swiping left with two fingers is the same as going back, but I keep doing it accidentally. I thought there was a setting for it, but I can not find it now. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

For a week my pinned tabs are lost every time I open Firefox. I have checked my settings, they were the same as always. I have de-selected them, closed and re-opened firefox, selected them again, closed and re-opened again, pinned my tabs again. Then closed and re-opened firefox and still they are not there. I have done this multiple time with the same results. This seems to have started after the last update.

How can I get right click to open my selection in a new window? this option has disappeared!

When I right click to open a link in a new window, the top 2 boxes of the right click window are blank and below them is AI stuff, but no open link in a new tab/window! where did it go? How can I get the right click open in a new window back??????

Hi Was told to ask new question off of this tread. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1314940#question-reply

I have similar issue. Have file that has all the tab history, but can't get Firefox to recognize or use it. The scrounger pulls up everything so the file is good it seems.

Why can't, or how do we get Firefox to use it?

Thank you

This seems like a relatively new feature that I don't see a setting to toggle. How would I disable the drag-and-drop area at the top of the vertical tabs which prompts me to pin the tab?

Hello,

Since yesterday every time i reopen my Firefox it is not loading my tabs that I had opened in previous use "Open previous windows and tabs" setting is enabled/marked and I have not made any changes in settings myself for this issue to take place. I am not sure why did this start happening out to the blue. But I have noticed when I use exit button via 3 bar drop down menu and then reopen Firefox my open tabs are there but when I use the "X" (top right corner) and re launch Firefox my tabs are gone. Is this the new "feature" or am I missing something

Regards
