I just reinstalled Firefox after resetting my computer so I was clicking around and making some personal adjustments. Now, everytime I add a tab it also open a window for that tab. Which is very annoying because I often use a lot of tabs at the same time for my research. I don't know why this has happened, maybe I accidentally clicked on something in the setting? I’m not very good with computer so I really need help with this. Thanks!

Multiple attempts to post this and get help - my tab groups randomly closed and they are all gone. I spent a lot of time gathering up tabs into the right groups for big projects and trips. Somehow a window closed - accidentally, leaving only my inbox one open. I tried to no avail to find tab groups, restore history (option not given), and other ways to restore this.

I had been excited about the option of tab groups, and in the past they always reopened after a restart. But today they disappeared in the middle of session. It's tons of work and time lost and I don't think I'll use them again. What a disappointment.

I have an issue with grouped tabs but I know where the grouped tabs are, I click the arrow facing down and it doesn't show the grouped tabs that I had, I don't know if it's because I turned off my PC when firefox was still open but I do that most of the time, when I opened firefox it said that it couldn't restore previous session or something like that and next thing I notice is that all my grouped tabs are gone. Is there a way to get them back?

It used to be that when I clicked ctrl+tab in the browser it would move through my tabs. Now, instead of moving to the next tab, it pops up a thumbnail preview and scrolls through those, instead. This is not useful to me. Is there any way to either revert the behavior or is there a new keyboard shortcut to quickly move to the next tab?
