TAB I am a new user of Firefox and when I open the browser today, I only had the use of one tab on each window. Yesterday, before closing for the night, I had multiple tabs. How do I get tabs so I can open multiple windows on each screen?

A folder on the bookmarks menu that stroes individual bookmarks, fills half the screen of a standard 1080p screen with totally empty white space.

The padding in between each and every single bookmark, in any place that can store bookmarks, will be filled by at least 3 or 4 mm of empty white space. Between every single bookmark.

This is a huge amount of completely pointless scrolling.

Do you have an RSI? No?

Good for you. I, sadly do.

Has there been a fix for this cos the chrome folder .css "fix" is not working for me.

If i cant solve this i am going to change browsers. I dont care. I love Firefox and used it since the netscape days in the 90's, but am not going in for another surgery since you people insist of giving people more RSI's.

I'm doing a clean up and restoration of my current windows. Its great that now firefox has sync which makes transferring easier. Base on the article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-synced-tabs-other-devices

"Additionally, you can use the Firefox Sidebar to access synced tabs. While viewing synced tabs in Sidebar, right clicking on device name allows you to open all tabs from a device at once. "

I've tried and search everywhere but I don't see this option at all. There is no option even after right clicking.

At the same time, i'm wondering if sync is better than copying the entire profile over

Support on older OSes

Like many others I've seen here in this forum and some others, I still run Windows 7. I will _NEVER_ buy another Microsoft OS ever, again! And that goes even if I wasn't a senior on a fixed income.

That said, like many others, I would very much appreciate the ESR version of Firefox being extended for the foreseeable future beyond the 6-month extension that you just posted about. I use many of the extensions quite copiously and can't even think of not using them as some are so extremely protective and some are especially utilitarian, at that. A lot of them are not supported on other browsers even IF those browsers have extensions at all. I've used Firefox since Version 2.

Now, in case this is pertinent:

I lock the desktop computer [that I built, myself] down seriously tight with several good quality but free 3rd party soft-wares which overlap protection just enough to keep my computer safe but not so much as to conflict. I've formulated my "cocktail" over the past 30 years since I started with Windows 95 through XP and now 7.

I do NOT do bu$ine$$ of any kind on line. I do not peruse the back alleys of the internet and I'm not interested in the Black Web. I don't even use on board e-mail opting for on-line email that, again, I do not do bu$ine$$ through and don't open anything that comes in that I don't know the party which sent it. (I do find some of the scam spam rather amusing, though. LOL!) In other words, I follow all best practices other than falling into the update trap that MS has created for end users due to their incessant greed.

When or, maybe, just before I can no longer get on the internet at all with Windows 7, I WILL do my best to complete my switchover to Linux for the few on line activities that I enjoy. In the long run, I plan on utilizing a multi-boot configuration as I have software for Windows XP that I find either very useful or very amusing that won't run on 7 or Linux. I also have some software that I like for Windows 7 that won't run on Linux. I'm just not ready to do that now and won't be for quite a while in the future as I continue to learn about and how to administrate my future chosen distro of Linux as I can Windows.

All of this is why I'm asking for your patience and continued support for Firefox ESR on older OSes.

by jump to specific history, I mean something like search in library > bookmark and right-click on specific link then "show in folder"

it would be very helpful if something equivalent of "show in folder" exists in the context of history search, I often search specific site and wondering what else sites I opened around that time (relative to specific site I found on search results)

if there's any workaround or alternatives, please leave a comment! ^^

So when I read and edit documents (PDFs), I need to manually select the highlighter and other tools, and it is very painful and tedious. Also, there is no option for different modes, such as solarized mode, and I need to install extensions, which are not compatible as well. Now is there any way to enable and fix these?

Somehow I recently added a favorites side bar to my page and not sure how to get rid of it now. Now when I open my saved pages it turns it into a 2 step process. Now it opens up a side bar and then I have to click on the star to open my saved pages. Before I just clicked on the folder and it opened them up. I have searched on help but none of it helped. One solution was to got to settings and to hide side bar but I don't have that option. Tried to customized toolbars, nothing seems to work. I use the favorites all the time and to turn it into a 2 step process is a pain.
