Firefox updated to version 89.0. I worked through most of the issues that bugged me. Thank you to those who previously posted questions/solutions. However, i still have not found how to fairly easily move the tabs below the URL address bar (e.g. without modifying code, hacks, etc). Firefox developers, please provide the functionality in Firefox to do this. Thanks!

Once again, Firefox is updated, and once again, Tabs are broken.

Could you stop moving them, please?

Tabs belong UNDER the Bookmarks Toolbar. That's where I like to have them, that's where they should be, and for whatever god-damn reason, every major update leaves me scrambling to try and repair Firefox.

USUALLY, they're forced on top, which is awful and unusable in practically every way, and I have to figure out which NEW change I have to make to userChrome.css to make Firefox usable again.

THIS time, they just disappeared. Gone. ONE tab visible; the current. Floating freely at the BOTTOM of the screen, for some fucking reason??!

Yes, I "fixed" it by deleting my userChrome.css, which has them now in the utterly unusable "above everything" position. I guess I'll wait until someone figures out how to repair Firefox --- AGAIN...

Could you just fucking STOP breaking the browser? This shouldn't be a thing. I should not be struck with that sinking "OH NO!" feeling, every time Firefox starts up with a "We've updated" message....

My browser opens new links in new tabs. I want them to open new links in the same tab.

Others inquire about the same issue get a response saying:;

"Did you try it? Some sites add a target="_blank" attribute to links. Links with these attributes are supposed to open in a new window when left clicked. However, Firefox by default opens these links in a new tab in the current window. By setting browser.link.open_newwindow to 1, these links will instead open in the current tab/window."

I need step-by-step help understanding what I need to do to set the browser are suggested in the above response.

When I browse eTOCS from scientific journals in my Gmail inbox, I would like to queue up a bunch of promising sounding articles in tabs behind the focused tab (gmail), thus completely finishing my perusal of the table of contents before checking out the articles that interested me. Under Preferences->General-> Tabs I have "open links in tabs instead of new windows" checked and "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" unchecked. Despite this, every time I click a link in gmail, it creates a new tab and switches to that tab, so I have to repeatedly switch back to the gmail tab.

I just switched from Vivaldi, which is Chromium based, and I really do not like the weird arrows to go through unpinned tabs. I have so many pinned tabs that I cannot even see what the tabs are that are unpinned. If I have to keep that, I will, but I would prefer for it to squish like most.

I have included some pictures of what I mean:

Hi all,

when opening a new tab, i activated the Google Search engine to search for content, yet when i start typing in that Google Search, the cursor immediately jumps into the address bar and searches there (which i dont want of course, this breaks the search engine altogether).

Is there a way to make the Search engine work and not let the cursor go into the address bar? Even copy and paste into the Search engine doesnt work anymore.

Regards

On 6/22/2021, after updating mozzila browser, all my previously open tabs and the ability to revert to the previous session disappeared. The cards contained very important information for me, so I am asking if it is possible to restore these cards by, for example, a mozzila employee?
