Firefox Support Forum

I have Firefox set to restore sessions upon restart. Up until a week ago this worked fine. I also use pinned tabs extensively with no problem until recently. Now when I restart Firefox one of 2 things happen. Either the pinned tabs are gone while all non-pinned tabs remain, or everything launches correctly but the pinned tabs disappear one by one (in a perfect sequence) over the course of a few seconds right after startup. I am absolutely confounded by this bizarre behavior. My computer is a Win 10 Dell desktop.

Hi I'm using Firefox on Linux When I want to enter to online classes and new window opens , the window's size is less than half of the screen ,when I want to maximize the window using maximize button or super + up ,it will reset to previous size . I must resize it with mouse .

Excuse me for grammar issue/problems

Hi,

When I perform a search with google with Firefox Developer Edition 85.0b1 and click in a Stackoverflow link the browser performs this behaviour:

1. A tab with clicked link is opened with no history. 2. The tab with google search is closed.

I performed the same test in standard version of firefox and the behaviour doesn´t occur.

Best Regards,

Pedro Costa

At the bottom of the Tabs setting this is displayed

An extension, Firefox Multi-Account Containers, requires Container Tabs. [Disable Extension]

Haven't found any instructions or fixes.

Thanks

I know how to turn the functionality off and on. The issue is that it is on, but it doesn't work consistently. I can middle-click identically on ten tabs, and it will close five of them and then refuse to close the others until I click on each one multiple times. I have tried this again and again and the results are just wildly inconsistent. I never had this problem on my old laptop but noticed it immediately with the new one. How do I fix this??

Firefox 83.0 I am running Windows 10 19042.685 on an HP Omen 15-EN0023DX.

Generally if someone links a Youtube video I'll watch it in a private window so Youtube doesn't trash my recommended videos with 100's of videos of the video I just watched so I opened a video in a private window...one video lead to another and another and before I knew it I had 6-7 tabs open in this private window.

I planned on restarting Firefox as it had been open for over a week and was using like 2-3gigs so while I had this private window open I decided to close my main Firefox window (with all the tabs) and continue watching a video in the private window and after 30-40 minutes I finally close the private window and reopen Firefox...all my tabs are gone from my main Firefox window, I probably had like 30 tabs open of various things.

There is nothing listed under recently closed tabs/windows so restore all tabs/windows does nothing.

This has to be a bug or something...I had no idea if you closed your main Firefox window and continued browsing around in a private window and eventually close it that every tab you had open in your main Firefox window would just magically disappear, is there anyway to restore the tabs or an old session? (my Firefox version is 84.0)

While using Firefox on Mac in fullscreen mode, trying to select a different tab by moving the pointer to the topmost position is a really annoying process. 90% of the times, I get the menu bar (which is hidden in the full screen mode, which is fine) jumping down and covering the tabs. To select the tabs without the menu bar interfering, I need to be extra careful while using the pointer! I find this annoying. I went back to Chrome to see how it is managed. Chrome actually resizes the window and takes the tab one position down, when the menu bar pops out, in the full screen mode. Not sure if it is the best workaround, but at least it works, and is much better than what Firefox does. Any setting to overcome this?

...or hovering the cursor over tabs. That would save a lot of clicks. This used to be possible with the good old Tab Mix Plus extension, but since Firefox Quantum (57) it's no longer supported. There is an extension providing similar functionality (Tree Style), but that only works on the side pane, not the actual tab bar. Is there a way we can do it post Firefox 57? It would save me a lot of fatigue! :)

Hallo Zusammen,

Ich suche eine Lösung und finde einfach keine Antwort. Es geht um eine PDF automatisch zu Aktualisieren und an bestimmte Wörter Auszurichten. Das Aktualisieren habe ich hinbekommen aber das Ausrichten nicht. Hat hier jemand einen Tipp für mich, wie ich es umsetzen kann.

Good morning

About a month ago, restarting my computer removed all my open tabs. He also reset the "recently opened tabs" section for me. The "restore previous session" feature also did not work. I also tried the methods of looking for backups in computer files and decrypting them on this website - https://www.jeffersonscher.com /res/scrounger.html, but probably they did not work by closing the browser twice and opening several tabs. Is it possible to find tabs from my previous session?

I like to change tabs with scrolling mouse wheel, but when Firefox has "list all tabs button", it just scrolling tabs, and dosen't change tabs.

When Firefox has "list all tabs button", how can I change tabs with scrolling mouse wheel?

Is there any way to disable the autoscrolling of the tab bar upon opening new tabs?

I already use the addon "Tab Open/Close Control" to set the behaviour to open new tabs right next to the active tab but the tab bar always scrolls to the right moving my viewed tabs and the new tab out of my view.

This is driving me totally NUTS.

Please help me circumventing or preventing this behaviour of the new Firefox Browser.

[rant] I don´t know why Mozilla keeps changing their already perfect browser to an unusable piece of shit software.

This trend persists in the software industry starting with M$ changing their OS from almost perfect Windows 7 to the actual software junkyard called Windows 10.

Why is Mozilla following this trend? /rant

Many thanks up front for providing a solution.

Merry christmas and a happy new year to all of you.

Hello, I did fresh OS install ( windows 10 64bit build 1909 with latest updates ) and after I was done installing programs I need and use, I installed my fav browser that I use over 15 years now and discovered one strange issue. Let me explain, I use mouse logitec g502 hero, now this mouse has some nice features that offer me to configure some buttons on it to work like switching tabs on browser when I have multiple tabs open, Its very easy to navigate like this on firefox, now since I installed latest version of firefox 84.0.1 64bit, tab switching dosent work anymore for me sadly, for example, if I open 3 tabs and wanna move from first tab on the left side to the second tab near it, it works, but if I want to move from second tab to the third one, it switches again to the first tab, like there is no third tab open at all, if I wanna go backwards and switch from second tab to first one again, it dosent work at all. Now I thought maybe its bug with my mouse software where I configure this things but no, in google chrome for example tab switching works perfectly and without issues, so it leads me to believe, something inside firefox got broken on new version and it causes issues now??? Can I get some help on this, if its on my side? Its really huge handicap for me, if I need to go back and manually click on tabs in order to navigate through multiple tabs.

I use Firefox in maximized screen mode in macOS. When closing Firefox and opening again it does not open in maximized mode. Most Mac software opens exactly the way it was closed, Safari for instance. But not Firefox. How can I open Firefox (always) maximized? Note: I don't mean that its size just fills the screen and leaves the menu bar on top. I mean "the macOS maximized way" after pushing the green button, where you have a separate desktop for the app without menu bar visible on top. And I tried editing xulstore.json - with no result. Anyone any idea?

Hi, I'm glad with firefox, but I'm here to inquire a small issue on tabs.

Currently, as I close the last tab of a window in firefox, it will be marked as a "recently closed" tab, which pops up on a new instance of firefox (by my setting of "reopen recently closed tabs on start"). However, I'd like it not to be opened if the "tab" itself is closed, because closing a tab (not a window) meanings I don't want to see it; and if the "window" is closed, then I may need it for the next time - I just want to put it aside for now.

My question is, can I achieve this on firefox, namely, when I close the last tab of a window and open a new window, I won't see that tab; also, when I directly close the entire window, I'll be able to see it next time. In fact, this is the default behavior of the Chromium Edge which I think we can take.

What I don't like now is that the last tab is always there - when I close the tab and the browser, and reopen it, it's still there, as if it sticks here; I have to open a new tab + close the "last" tab + close the browser to get rid of it, and that's annoying.

My current work around is to set in about:config to force open a new tab after the last tab is closed; the trouble is that it makes closing the browser a bit difficult.

Thanks in advance, for looking at this support / feature request. ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)

When I shut down my computer, I had a lot of tabs open. When I restarted my computer, they were all gone. Every other time before, when I restarted my computer, all the tabs would be back up. What happened this time?

i was only able to open 265 tabs. firefox would not allow me to add any more after 265 open tabs. is 265 open tabs the limit or just my computer capability? thank you, good bye.

For a while (since Thanksgiving) every Sunday, Firefox randomly quits and restarts and reloads with random tabs and pop-up ads? Is there anyway to get this stopped??
