Hello, I have Firefox set to open the tabs that I had open during my last session. (General > Startup > Open previous windows and tabs). When I open Firefox, it does give me all the tabs that were open in my last session. But it does not give me the current pages. It gives me the pages as they existed when I closed it.

Is there some way to have Firefox refresh the tabs when I open the browser? I seem to remember this happening in the past. But it's possible I was using a different browser then.

Now I'm using version 133.0.3, Firefox for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0. Yes, I realize this is not the current version. If it's possible to get this feature with the current version, I'll be happy to upgrade.

Thank you very much.

Добрый день. В процессе использования браузера, вкладки самовольно перезагружаются. Играю в браузерную игру и ни с того ни с сего вкладка сама по себе перезагружается, выкидывая меня из игры. Это происходит по непонятным причинам. В настройках я отключил автообновление вкладок (about:config - accessibility.blockautorefresh: - true). Там стояло значение false. Но вкладки все равно обновляются без моего участия. Это происходит на всех моих профилях в Фаерфокс. Как это остановить? Это мешает мне пользоваться браузером и комфортно играть.

I use Firefox for work and need to have a lot of tabs open, in a certain order, in a single window.

Frequently, when I click on a tab, Firefox moves that tab all the way to the right and I have to scroll over and move it back to its proper place. It also sometimes happens when I type in a text field on a tab and hit return. The tab "disappears" and I find it all the way to the right. It never used to do this in older versions of Firefox.

I don't think I'm doing something different than usual to trigger it. It just seems to be at random.

I really need to figure out how to stop Firefox from doing this. It's frustrating, disruptive, and slows down my work.

Platform: MacOS Ventura 13.7.5 and Firefox 137.0.2

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Hello,

I dislike the Group Tabs feature. So many times I've accidentally created a Group Tab and then had to figure out how to un-group them.

I've tried to change the value of the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" preference to false, but it doesn't stick; after restarting, the value is always back to "true".

What’s up with this?

Thanks, Andre’a

bold text I keep trying to use the tab groups feature. I would like to know when the feature will be rolled out for users in my situation rather than making period attempts that do not work. Thank you

Hi there,

I enabled the new tab groups feature the other day - having used it in Chrome on my work computer, I know how useful it can be.

However, it doesn't seem like there's any way to collapse tab groups and just leave them as like a square to be opened and closed just by clicking on the tab group? Am I mistaken here? Every time I try to click on the tab group to close it, the tab group just changes color (i.e., goes from blue background with white text to blue text on a white background) and none of the tabs are collapsed into the group (i.e., they just stay on the tab bar, and I'm shifted to a different tab).

Is this happening for other people? Is this what is supposed to happen? Is there some setting that I need to enable? I've tried seeing if it's conflicting with any my add-ons, and I haven't found anything just yet. I'm awfully confused, so I'm hoping someone can help explain what might be amiss here. Thanks in advance.

The new native tab group feature has an option to "Save and close group", implying that you can restore the group. But doing this, you will find that the group disappears.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone figured out how to restore a saved tab group?

firefox it keeps moving it

windows 10 and latest firefox

I have "Open tabs in links instead of new windows" checked.

I have no plug-ins that would cause this.

I have experimented with the various, conflicting "about:config" directions given online. (Nothing works, so I have reset about:config to default.)

• It is also worth noting the Firefox Support page is immune to its own Dark mode. WHY.

I am going to switch to Opera, since it has none of these problems.

Before commenting or responding on this post, make sure you actually READ IT first. I am so tired of these online MANSPLAINERS being all, "Go to about:config and do blah-blah-blah," or, "This is what you do: Go to Settings > General > Tabs > make sure you check the box that says "Open tabs in links instead of new windows."

Seriously, way too many people online are like customer support agents on the phone: "Try unplugging it and wait 15 seconds, then plug it back in; try closing it and restarting it."

If anyone has any real solution, I'd greatly appreciate it.

How can i find an open tab that is playing sound ? I sometimes leave 40 + youtube tabs open and i would like an easier way to find which one is playing. Thanks !

Why are my tabs moving to the right once I've clicked on it? I have a decent amount of tabs open at any time. I keep tabs with related sites grouped together. The past week or so, when I open a tab, Firefox moves it to the right and completely screws up my organization. Is there a way to delete this function? It is new and has only just started to happen.

I have tabs that I can see using resources in the about:processes view but the value in the name field is something like "Firefox (8748)" or "https://fooSite.com". If I have a lot of tabs open, which I always do, it's not clear which one is causing the issue. It would be great if there was a way to show the url that is loaded so that one can quickly choose to stop it, reload it, or close it. Yes, the X action sort of let's you do that but you still don't know exactly which tab you are xing and it's only a kill switch for the tab in the end; there's no choice to resolve the issue by just reloading the page in the event of some video element that is consuming gpu for some reason. It might be a tab that I want to keep around. Making a little more meta data available so that a user can easily track down the specific tab would be great. Imagine I have 70 windows open... Yes, probably a corner case but it's the way I roll.

Is there a way to move a tab at a Second window, back to a previous window? Basically, can I freely decide which tab goes onto which window, when I have multiple open as a way of organizing my immediate search history and browsing?

Hello,

I just found out about the Firefox group tabs feature and love the concept! However, on my computer (Linux, Pop OS), the default theme makes it difficult to see the underlining color for the group. Is there a way to increase the thickness? I've added a picture of how it looks, there is only a very thin (in this pic, blue) line underneath the tabs. I can barely see it, making it's use harder...

I know have only one tab for each window in Firefox. How to be able to open different tabs in the same window in Firefox? It worked yesterday, same version of Firefox, but only one tab per window.

Please give the option to have vertical tabs and sidebar functionality split into two seperate things. Much like with Edge and Vivaldi, we should be able to have vertical tabs on the left of the browser, with the sidebar on the right.

We should also be able to open any website in mobile view with the sidebar, again replicating the functionality of Edge and Vivaldi

I need to stop Firefox from reordering my tabs. Apparently it puts the last used one at the rightmost place. I DO NOT WANT OR NEED THIS.

How can I stop this behavior?

thanks
