I really appreciate this amazing new 'unloading' feature. It's just the function I need. However, I can't unload all the tabs I've selected. Only some of them are inactivated, and this problem occurs almost every time I choose a group of tabs.

When I search a subject from Google, I want the search tab to remain, and for a new tab to open when I click on a link. I don't want to open the link through the same search tab.

After researching, I tried to go through about:config and I changed the browser.search.openintab to 'true' but when I search it opens through the existing search tab.

I hope I am explaining this coherently. Can someone please help me?

Not all tab groups will fully collapse, as before

Since yesterday, some of my tab groups don't fully collapse when the group tab is clicked. Instead, one tab in the group remains fully expanded, followed by a number indicating how many other tabs are in the group. A screen shot is attached.

Since I enabled tab groups some weeks ago, tab groups have behaved as expected. When the group header is clicked, the tabs in the group spread out to be visible and clickable. When the header is clicked again, all tabs in the group collapse entirely behind the header tab.

Most of my tab groups are still behaving this way. But new groups are now displaying one full tab plus the number, no matter how many other tabs or tab groups are already occupying the window.

Since the behavior is inconsistent, it doesn't seem to be a setting. Is there any fix?

Windows 10; Firefox 141.0

According to the "View recent browsing across windows and devices" command:

"Window 2 is current" and there is "Window 1" (which contains recent work)

My question(s):

How can I switch from window 2 (current) to window 1 (recent work)? and/or How can I combine both windows?

Thank you. (For your information, I have had a partial stroke, and I am 79 years old.)

Is this the expected behavior of browser.tabs.closeTabByDblclick=true?

Please see this video. Double-clicking can only close the foreground tab. If I double-click the background tab, it will become the foreground tab, and double-clicking it multiple times in a short period of time will not close it. I have to wait about one second after stopping clicking the left mouse button before I can double-click it again to close it. Some Chromium-based browsers do not have this issue, and each of their tabs can be closed by double-clicking I can only show it with video. Please leave a message if you can't see the video.

When I middle-click a link in Firefox, it opens in a new tab, but it also switches me to that new tab immediately.

I’d prefer to stay on the current tab after middle-clicking, and just have the new tab open in the background just like google chrome does. Is there a setting to stop it from automatically switching?

Thanks!

I've been using tab grouping and it is really helpful.

But this morning when I created a new tab group called "MISC" I was unable to add any tabs to it.

1. I noticed that this new group happens to be the 11th group I've created. So I'm guessing that there may be a limit of ten groups. Am I right?

2. And now, some hours later, I see that the new MISC group does appear on my tab bar, but one of my old groups, TECH, has disappeared, but its contents seem to have been added to the MISC group.

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?

Since the last Firefox update, I've noticed an issue whenever I launch the browser. I have it set up so that I have multiple tabs open, and it's set up so that when Firefox starts up, it opens all of the previous tabs and starts me on the tab I was on when I closed the browser previously.

Now whenever I start Firefox, it opens to the last tab I was on, but said tab opens on my current homepage instead of the website that tab was on previously. I experimented by changing my homepage to "Youtube.com", picked a different open tab, closed Firefox and opened it again and sure enough, the tab was now on the Youtube page instead of what it had been previously.

Is this just a bug of the current Firefox version, or is there something in settings I can do to fix this?
