I am using an iPad. How do you stop firefox from opening a new tab when clicking on a link? I want to it to follow the link in the same tab almost always.

Thanks for you help!

Using Firefox 145.0 (64-bit), "Firefox is up to date" on PC with Windows 11 Pro.

I was so pleased when Firefox's Group Tabs arrived. I often have about 12 tabs open to do Railway research. So I thought, Group Tab, great idea. Save a group of tabs as one tab. Instead of creating a Bookmark Folder and each time opening all bookmarks from said folder, what better way to do than opening one tab. Or so I thought. I also created a "SHIP" tab for my hobby in the shipping industry, so I could have two group tabs that could be collapsed making the tab bar tidier. I saved an closed each group tab then closed down my PC. Next on restarting, Firefox starts up automatically as chosen by me. Both RAIL & SHIP tabs reappeared without me doing anything. Great! However yesterday, I inadvertently opened another Firefox window, forgot it was opened. So when I shut down my PC, I closed the Firefox browser and then discovered the over Firefox window I had opened. Closed it shut down my computer. Of course when I opened my PC today, Firefox started automatically, but with the tab that I had open in the last Firefox window. No problem I thought, I will just open the saved Group Tabs. It was a problem, where are the Group Tabs saved? Could I find the location? NO! I looked in Bookmarks, all the various History lists, even the down arrow to list all tabs. Nothing, the Group Tabs are none existent. I have checked on the "about:config" section for Group Tabs and everything is enabled "true". So where are the Group Tabs saved? I have been with Firefox for around 14 years, often citing it as the best browser. But over the last five years I find myself using Chrome more and more. Chrome has Group Tabs which do not not need the users to save them, they are saved automatically, and are easily found on opening the Chrome browser. Why doesn't Firefox have this?

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

I use tab groups actively and would save much of my work in my ever-growing list of tab groups. I saw today that many of them had disappeared. I wasn't signed into Firefox and nor do I have any different profiles made. I see two tab groups that I made yesterday but none from before that. How could this happen? How do I recover so much of the work I had saved up?

This is a feature request to allow users to change the order of tabs in the vertical tab bar. I would like new tabs to show up on top of the vertical tab bar rather than the bottom. I would also like the 'new tab' button to be at the top rather than the bottom of the browsers.

The mute tabs icon is just a waste of space as soon as you get a few tabs loaded and the tabs shrink. I have multiple tabs showing at the moment where I have clicked on the icon and unmuted them when just trying to select them. It does not help that the icons have been placed in almost the exact centre of the tab, at least with the 19 I have showing in a mix of muted/unmuted. Only 7 of these tabs are still muted, although I did deliberately unmute one to check the action.

I would prefer it if these icons are not showing as they are a waste of space and my time. If you hit the icon the tab is not brought to the front as intended so you have to click on them again. I just want the tabs to work like real tabs.

Is there any way to remove the feature altogether? I have after a lot of frustration just reduced the sound for Firefox in the Windows Volume Mixer as I did before tab muting was thought of. I almost never use sound in Firefox anyway.

bold text''''bold text' In Settings under Startup, I have check to open all my previous tabs, but when I am shutting down, Firefox wants to close all my tabs before shutting down. If Firefox closes all my tabs on shutdown, then those tabs will not be there next time I start up .... how can I keep my tabs when I shutdown and have them next time I start up

The only Firefox will open a link in a new tab is if I force it to do so by right clicking each link and choosing open in new tab. Before it automatically opened in a new tab.

Hello,

how can i disable firefox usage hints like "Try tab groups for less clutter, more focus"?. It opens up if i open up a certain amount of tabs. Is there anything i can disable in about:config?

Thank you.

Firefox version 145.0 in Linux Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS. When I open Firefox all tabs from previous session are gone. On "Startup" I have checked "Open previous windows and tabs". Which worked before but not now. It is very frustrating. How do I fix? The Profile Manager opens the settings and "Open previous windows and tabs" is checked. Checking "ask before closing multiple tabs" doesn't help.

Hi guys,

Just yesterday I had everything working fine, and today out of nowhere any time I close my browser trough X it resets back to default page and all my pinned browsers or unpinned just disappear.. It works with exiting trought shortcut or meniu, but it little annoying, I tried solutions provided in the treads but is there no way to revert back to just using X for exiting and have your previously closed tabs saved and restored upon opening app again?

There was no updates installed or any other changes made to my pc today. So it is very strange why out of the blue its like this right now.

I tried: 1. Troubleshoot mode (did not work) 2.I tried exiting trought shortcut/meniu exit (worked but not prefered solution as it will be very easly forgotten for split second and all tabs open will reset) 3. Tried unchecking reseting firefox and checking the box again (did not work)

Lost at this stage as I really loved using Firefox.

1) First, how do I change preferences? Easy on my Mac desktop but how on my iPad?

2) I use Dogpile. I saw a notice that their website is for sale. Is that causing a problem in Firefox when going to one of the websites listed when I do a Dogpile search?

3) I went to a Reddit site using Dogpile. After viewing the Reddit suggestions etc, I tried to close out of it using the square box in upper right corner of Firefox. That has never before given a problem. This time when I clicked on it the tabs showed up as usual and with the x for closing them. Clicking on them did not close any of the tabs and did not show a flash, as if the tabs were nothing other than images. When I closed and reopened Firefox, Reddit was still the tab. I could not go to another website. This problem would not go away. I even closed and re-opened the Apple IOS and Reddit was still taking over Firefox.

4) How can I eliminate the requirement to enter passwords and all the security rigamarole when going to gmail, facebook and other sites?

5) Even now there are the number of tabs still showing in the square at the top right. There is a purple circle with the white eyes in it superimposed on the upper right corner of the box. I know that after I send these questions and go back to Firefox, Reddit will once more be in control.

6) Is there a better Firefox for Mac IOS than the one I now am using? Chrome is working better but I'd rather use Firefox.

Not performing as it should. I have Windows 11 on PC. Open in a new tab should always show above open a new window. When I click on a link that is above the halfway point on the page I never see or have the option to open in a new tab. Open in a new window always is at the top.

If I am on a new page and the link is above the halfway point on the page I can't scroll the page down to have the link below the halfway point. If I am am on a page that I can scroll the link below the halfway point, Open in a new tab will show above open in a new window.

How can I get a new page with a link above the halfway point to have open in a new tab show? I have Firefox 146.0 (64-bit). It is up to date.
