Firefox Community Forum

I am using Windows 11 on both my desktop and laptop. I began using vertical tabs a ways back. On my desktop I am able to scroll through the active vertical tabs with the mouse. But, I am unable to scroll the vertical tabs on my laptop. I have compared the Firefox settings on both computers and have been unable to find any settings that are different which could be applicable.

When I start my computer I want my "startup" tabs to open in the order I want; [app.Inbox.com, AOL.com, mail.google.com (xxx00xxx@gmail.com), mail.google.com (xxxxxx00@gmail.com)]. ALSO ‘sometimes’ at startup TWO tabs for app.Inbox.com appear and I don't want that.

I've used Firefox for years, but lately, on start-up each day, all my previous tabs have disappeared and I have to start again opening them all individually before I can start work? I thought I'd solved this in the past when I had the problem, but it's back! Help please.

It has happened recently that when I clicked on something Firefox takes me to a different window opens in a new tab and I had to go back to the tab that I was on for that click. Is this something new that Firefox does to generate ad revenue?

With the latest update to version 155, I lost all my tabs.

In my Settings, Startup, I do have checked "Open previous windows and tabs". This has worked many times after shutdown and restarting.

But this latest update did not start ver 155 with all my tabs. Has anyone else seen this? On Win 11 laptop. Steveg

Windows 11 expensive high performance tower PC. When I am closing Firefox I am warned that I am about to close 80+ tabs although. I actually had only 13 tab groups (closed) and one ordinary tab open (The New York Times) I close Firefox anyway and ALL the group tabs disappeared.

Sometimes, when I am warned that I am closing 80+ tabs, they luckily they haven't disappeared upon restarting Firefox. This happens often.

I know how to reconstruct my tab Groups proceeding from listing all tabs.

Sometimes the tab groups don't disappear. It makes no difference whether I start a Firefox session on my just rebooted PC (and run PC for a minutes only using Firefox) or not. When I recently closed Firefox I could see from task manager that there was minor activity showing in the Firefox app which surprised me. I hope you have an idea of what might be occurring. I'm not a novice, I purchased my first PC in 1989

Thank you, Anita

Why FF is resetting all tabs during an update, like the last one? The tabs cannot be restored automatically. It does not happen with each update...but it's annoying when you have several tabs. Thanks for taking that into account. Yves

I've been using the split view feature and really like it... however I constantly find myself doing the following:

Having a split view open with related pages, for example a list view in the left pane, and I want to open one of the items in the list view in the opposite pane, currently I have to:

1. Copy the url in the left pane 2. Switch to the right pane 3. Target the address bar 4. Paste the url 5. Load the new url

Ideally an additional 'open link in x' option could be added specifically when a user is in the split view, that will open the link directly in the opposite pane of the current split, so left > right or right > left.

My question is, is there is a way to do this already; I cannot find any reference to this in the docs.

"Open Link in Opposite Split View" would be perfect.

I took advantage of Tab Groups to organize my work by Client (saving and closing tab groups is great to save memory and still get back to where I was later on). You now came up with the 'Containers' functionality, so I want to separate work from personal stuff. I tried but found that you can't move a whole Tab Group to a Container, you have to move individual tabs and that causes them to be duplicated - a copy stays where it was and a copy is set inside the Container. It would now be great if you had an option to add the whole Tab Group to a Container (similar to how you can add tabs to Tab Groups) instead of doing by tab. Hopefully you can add this functionality on the next version. Can you add an option to move a complete Tab Group to a Container (option by right-click)?

Dear Firefox, I am a new user, so I must apologize in advance for how naive I may be. I had attempted to search for my answer online, but did not find it.

I was previously on Chrome, and enjoy the tab interface there. As I move to Firefox, I notice that instead of having all my tabs listed at once, after some point I instead am met with "Scroll forwards" and "Scroll backwards" options.

I understand that this may look cleaner and less cluttered to some, but I personally dislike this, as I took comfort in the organized chaos of my many tabs - I was able to navigate through with ease, a single click to open the tab I desired rather than scrolling through my many tabs, which I feel may become incredibly annoying and inconvenient for me.

Is there any way to fix this?

I've been using "tab groups" for a while but then suddenly my tabs' groups that I just had saved just disappeared, when I had a lot of them of my pending activities. I don't know why it happens, please help me to figure that out cause I had a lot of information that I didn't save on bookmarks. Like I just showed in the uploaded image, I just could restore 1 group tabs because my firefox and laptop turned off and I had that group open before it turned off, so firefox notified me that there was an error and I cannot have all my information again, but at least let me restore my last session, that why I could recover One TAB GROUP

In the tabs setting there is a box for when you open a new tab it does not immediately go to it. Both my middle click and right click open new tab both instantly send me to the new tab window even with the setting off. The setting does nothing for me, plz help me fix this i just downloaded firefox and this is a big problem for me. thanks

How can I make sure the Vertical Tabs sidebar stays visible in full screen mode?

It worked this way by default until the [154.0 release](https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/154.0/releasenotes/#note-792047):

> Fixed the Vertical Tabs sidebar staying visible in full screen mode. It now hides along with the toolbars and reappears when the cursor moves to the edge of the screen.

Is there a config setting that re-enables the old behavior? I want the address bar to be hidden in full screen mode, but not the Vertical Tabs sidebar.

Hello,

I am wondering where I can find all of my saved tab groups. The chevron icon in the top right only shows the 5 groups I most recently saved, and there is no way to expand it to see all of the groups I currently have saved.

Thank you in advance for your help!

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?

Before when I was on 152.0.6, everything was working great and once I updated, tab dragging is disabled even though in about:config the value is set to true, meaning it should work. One thing is that if you drag it, there will be a white box for a split second then nothing, and it sometimes moves 1mm and then snaps back.
