Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I have my browser startup settings set to 'open previous windows and tabs' However, every time I start up firefox, it is on the default new window screen rather than my previous tabs. This feels frustrating as I have to reopen the tabs every time.

Would it be possible to fix this?

Thank you.

I find that when I reopen Firefox, many of the tabs in a group are duplicated, appearing both inside and out of the tab group. Is there a fix for this or something I can do? I'm on Firefox 147, on Windows 11. Thanks.

I set up a new Group with 14 tabs. From my main page I open the Group in a new window, peruse the 14 tabs, then save and close the Group. If I re-open the Group in a new window during he same main session, the Group opens in a new window perfectly. If I shut down the computer and re-open my main page a day later, AND then open the Group in a new window, one of the Group tabs opens in the main window and 13 open in the Group window. I then re-add the open tab from the main window to the open Group window. Again, I get the same behavior with all 14 tabs opening in the Group window during the same session, but only 13 in the Group window if I shut sown the computer and re-open a day later. Anyone have a solution??

Thank you!

Hi, Just looking into using Tab Groups. I can create a group, add or delete tabs from it, and the Save and Close Group. This Group is then visible to re-open from the List All Tabs option.

That is Great.

However, if I close Firefox, and re-open it, then that tab group has disappeared from the List All Tabs option.

Is that correct, or am I missing a setting somewhere ?

Despite having the setting "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" selected, CTRL-Tab has suddenly stopped cycling tabs in the most recently used order. Firefox behaves as if the setting is disabled. This is the third time I've experienced this issue in the past year, and every time the only solution that worked was to create a new profile. It is exhausting to get a new profile back to exactly how the old profile was, and it's something I shouldn't have to do.

Scenario: I am on Windows 11 (though I think this has also happened to me on Windows 10), currently using version 146.0.1 (though this has happened on previous versions). CTRL-Tab cycles in the most recently used order just fine for several months, then it suddenly doesn't—this happens in the middle of an active session, i.e., not after a restart of the browser nor the computer itself. I have four add-ons, none of which control tab cycling, nor have I added/removed any add-ons nor changed any of their settings since their initial installation many months ago.

What I've tried:

• Disabling/re-enabling the setting (even though it is already checked)
• Disabling/re-enabling the config browser.ctrlTab.sortByRecentlyUsed
• Restarting Firefox normally
• Restarting with add-ons disabled—note that the issue persists even with add-ons disabled
• Disabling the setting, then restarting Firefox, then re-enabling the setting
• Restarting the computer

It's the same thing described in this Reddit thread. What else can I try?

Hi, I have over a hundred tabs that persist in reloading automatically even after I closed (deleted?) them one-by-one. My pc is low on memory, and this situation (the automatic reloading of my many unwanted tabs) is not helping matters any! I have already bookmarked most of them, and do not need them hanging around in my tabs window. How can I get rid of my unwanted tabs? I have already tried to clear all cookies and everything else I can clear, and that did not seem to help either. Anyone, please advise. Thanks.
