Sorry, I am writing using a translator. Every time I close the browser, all the tabs I haven't pinned get closed. My brother doesn't have this problem. What should I do? Is there a way to stop them from closing every time I restart the browser?

Каждый раз когда я закрываю браузер, все вкладки которые я не закрепил закрываются. У брата такой проблемы нету. Что делать? можно как-то сделать так чтобы они не закрывались КАЖДЫЙ перезаход в браузер?

Every time I start Firefox, some of my pinned tab favicons will show an unread dot (although not consistently), even though there may have been zero changes to anything in that tab. Gmail is especially bad about this, making me think I have a new unread email when all of my emails have been read. How do I fix this? I looked in the Tab settings for Firefox and don't see anywhere I can change a setting.

Up until now, if I search using the Wikipedia field on the menu bar, it opened in a new tab, just like using Startpage does. I've just upgraded to Fedora 43 and Firefox 146.0 (64 bit) and it's stopped doing that, although Startpage still does. How can I get that functionality back?

Firefox has a feature where, if you select a tab and drag your cursor downwards while still pressing down on it, it will open that tab in a new window. Is there any way to disable this? I am frequently opening tabs in new windows when I'm just trying to view them and it drives me mad. I never use this feature intentionally- I am constantly using on accident due to quickly moving my cursor away from the tab bar to view the tab I just opened. Thank you.

I recently decided to try vertical tabs in Firefox, and can't find a way to search these tabs as I could when they were horizonal, with the downward pointing arrowhead. If this is a feature, please let me know how to add it to my sidebar, and if not, it would be great if this feature could be developed. Thanks!

After today (Sep. 2, 2026)'s update, I noticed that the the plus "+" button for new tab is canceled. Instead, I have to now click right on the work function and click "New Tab" for a new tab. This revision is quite counter-intuitive. Could you please add back the plus "+" button for new tab in the next update?

Thank you very much.

I am stuck in full screen. I can get back to the tab menu by moving my mouse but I have arthritis in my hands and every extra movement makes it harder for me to use my computer, in addition to the flipping back and forth being incredibly annoying. I am going to have to use a different browser if I can't find a way to stop this. There must be an easy fix but I can't find anything in settings that helps.

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...

Firefox not honoring "open in background" setting on other apps all of a sudden

Losing my mind on this one.

Have 2 Macs I use at home, both running FF 141.0 and Sequoia 15.5.

Use Reader for RSS and Airmail for eMail. Both have settings to allow links clicked in those programs to open browser tabs in background. Handy way of banging through newsletters and RSS feeds before shifting to browser.

One on Mac, that open in battleground setting on both apps works as it has for, oh, last several years. On the other Mac, a few days ago that open in background stopped working with Firefox. It does work properly on Chrome and Safari if I set them as default browser (and, as I mentioned above, on my other Mac).

I've tried resetting Firefox on this Mac using the troubleshooting menu and have also cleared the Firefox cache. I even tried resetting the launch database in that Mac, although the fact Chrome and Safari are working fine suggests the OS isn't the culprit.

I'm unaware of having changed any settings, but am aware that "idiot user" may be the issue.

Regardless of how this happened, any ideas how to sort this annoyance out? Thanks!
