I had a whole bunch of open Firefox tabs and tab groups all carefully arranged just the way I wanted, then somehow a couple of tabs got moved to a new window (don't know how that happened, I didn't click the "Move Tab" and "Move To A New Window" menu options), and when I was trying to figure out how to move them back (not possible, apparently) the original window got accidentally closed -- and with it all my tabs and tab groups! When I reopened Firefox they just weren't there. Aagh! Clicking on History just shows the last tabs I accessed, not the full arrangement of groups and the many other tabs I haven't accessed in awhile but want to keep at the ready.

Can I get all that back? Or was relying on Firefox to organize my online work a bad idea?

Hello! I've been observing strange behaviour during the startup of a new profile window in Firefox. Before launching there is a split second pop-up with no name and flickering colours. Any idea what that might be? I installed firefox on a different win 10 pc and the same happens there

When using the picture-in-picture feature, the spacebar is meant to be a keyboard shortcut to pause or continue the video. This is shown on the tooltips for the UI elements in the picture-in-picture feature, and on the keyboard shortcuts in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox#w_keyboard-shortcuts

However, what actually happens when I press the spacebar key is it instead activates the last UI element to have been clicked on in the picture-in-picture.

For example, if I have last clicked the fullscreen icon to make the picture-in-picture fullscreen, pressing the spacebar will toggle the fullscreen mode, and not pause or continue the video.

I have just updated to 140.0esr (from the 128 esr series). I have letterboxing enabled but it now does not have any top margin. Is there a way to get the top margin back, so that is looks the same it did in 128? I much prefer the letterbox being centered in the window (128) instead of being squeezed to the top (140).

hi in current version of ff on a win 10 pc.

i have somewhere a fold in ff called "cars"., can anyone tell me how to locATE IT

the advice i previously got no longer works THAanks

On any video player that has a gradient, it breaks when I full-screen the video, showing as solid semi-opaque bars instead of the intended gradients.

This happens on any video player I've used that has a gradient, and is most noticeable on YouTube due to the double gradient.

It displays normally when I use snipping tool, so apologies for the bad quality on the second image.

I use Ublock Origin and Dark Reader, but this behaviour doesn't change when either is disabled.

Hello, Since the update on 24 June 2025, bookmarks are displayed in black text on a black background. Is this normal? If not, how can I resolve the issue? I had set it to dark mode, but even when I switched back to light mode, nothing changed. I would appreciate help from the community or Mozilla if anyone has a website address to contact them. Have a nice day.

I had an extension that gave me access to Claude.ai. It was working quite well until this morning, when its CPU shot through the roof. I shut down its tab. I could not figure out how to restart it, and it's not in my extensions list. Was that deprecated? Is there still a direct interface to Claude.ai on Firefox?

I pulled up About:Firefox, and it informs I must restart to update it. That was news to me.

I could also (before restart), do successive Control-T presses to resurrect my Claude.ai. I will try that before restart. Could you tell me what I should look for in the Claude.ai tab, or elsewhere, if Control-T is successful? Thanks,
