Hello everyone, Until a few days ago, Firefox version 140.12.0esr included a button to "Save windows and tabs of the current! session." Unfortunately, this feature is no longer available in the current version, 152.0.1. However, for many Firefox users, saving the windows and tabs of the current! session is absolutely essential. What options are there now to resolve this issue? I would appreciate any suggestions! If there is no way to restore this feature, I, too, will unfortunately have to switch browsers after 20 years as a Firefox user. Many thanks in advance for your help and any information. Best regards, Norbert

I have labeled 4 containers as Personal1, Personal2, etc for use with the four websites I have Firefox "remember for the next time I open the browser. I'm certain I could come up with additional names if need be, but was wondering if Mozilla had devised any container names other than Personal, Work, Shopping, Banking, and Facebook.

Make "ask before closing multiple tabs" the default behavior on fresh install

I've lost count of how many times a new installation of Firefox has caused frustration closing multiple tabs without warning. This should not even be a feature. It is a defect that has existed for years in Firefox. Every new installation comes with this option disabled, so when trying to close just one tab after a fresh install users accidentally close the window with every tab, without asking "are you sure?"

The confirmation box "are you sure?" should be the default behavior, not a "go into settings and fix that after it is too late" because realizing that the problem is there should not be a condition for the user to realize the option is not on. Fix this on next and upcoming releases, please. For God's sake. I'm tired of loosing progress every time after a new installation of Firefox, and I'm sure millions of users have faced same frustration, at some point, including you.

this is not a question. It is a bug report.

Best,

Hi everyone,I’m hoping to get some insight into a frustrating issue I’ve encountered since updating to Firefox 156.0 (64-bit).

Prior to this update, clicking the "Learn More" bar on a Facebook Reels advertisement would consistently open the advertiser's website in a new tab. Since the update, this behavior has broken:

Overlays instead of new tabs: Clicking "Learn More" now frequently opens a contact form or internal Facebook page directly over the ad, rather than launching an external tab.

Instant tab crashes/disappearing tabs: On certain advertisements (for example, Subaru Australia), Firefox attempts to trigger a new tab, but the tab immediately closes and disappears roughly one second later.

I only click these links when I am genuinely interested in a product (like shopping for a new car), and I prefer to review them in a separate tab.

Because this was working perfectly right up until the Firefox 156.0 release, I am trying to narrow down the root cause. Could a default setting have changed in the new Firefox update (such as strict popup blocking or tracking protection stripping ad parameters), or is this a simultaneous coding change made by Facebook to force users to stay on their platform?

(Note: I've attached a screenshot of the page overlay I now commonly see instead of the external link.)Any advice on settings I can tweak to restore the old behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am wondering if there is a setting somewhere in Firefox to automatically close tabs after a certain length of time or after there are a certain number of tabs open. I did not close Firefox. I was working on a text document in TextEdit and when I returned to Firefox, all of my tabs were gone! How can I deisable that if there is such a setting? This is a very vexing problem. Please advise. Please forward this to a supervisor for a quick and complete response. The representative I chatted with earlier forwarded my inquiry to Apple Support for an expensive subscription, which I do not want. Thank you.

About a month or so, opening tabs changed. It's more annoying and less convenient now for no clear reason.

Before, when I opened 20 links in new tabs, the existing tabs were pushed to the left. Now, the new tabs disappear to the right, and I need to scroll the tabs list to see them.

This makes researching things annoying. Especially when I'm trying to find anything useful among tons of useless search results. Normally, I would see every tab that I opened. I could always instantly see by the number of open tabs and domains if I should continue the search. No tabs? I haven't found enough. Same domain? I'm probably running in circles.

To replicate this workflow, now I'd have to manually scroll every time I open a new tab, which would be mighty annoying.

Meanwhile, there's no advantage to seeing my old tabs rather than new tabs. The new tabs are always more important in the moment because I just opened them.

Can this be changed back to old behaviour in about:config, or by some arcane profile hacking?

I note that this problem has been going on for more than 5 years and is STILL a glitch with your otherwise excellent product! Strangely it has only started happening to me though since I got my new PC. It really shouldn't be beyond you to provide an update with a permanent solution rather than having to close a window before it is saved as suggested on a 5 year old forum.

Please fix this now - 5 years is a long time in the IT world!!!

1 - Sort tabs by {fqdn, date open ...} 2 - Create automatique group for {fqdn, date open ...} 3 - Close tabs with site browsing (not exactly double, mean same site but with two different page)

I would like to make Firefox web browser to save automatically the "tab group" created.

The feature is already there by left clicking on the group and choose "save and close group". I would this to be automated as default behaviour at every attempt to close the last tab of the group, so the "tab group" never gets deleted by itself. Only deliberately left click on the tab group and choose "Delete group".

Thank you in advance for your time reading this. 🙇

It says to drag and drop but that does not work. I minimized both windows and dragged the one tab to the 'larger' window and nothing happens. My email keeps opening in a new window and it never did before. It was a tab in my original window, and now it is so much harder for me to work.

With the latest update to version 155, I lost all my tabs.

In my Settings, Startup, I do have checked "Open previous windows and tabs". This has worked many times after shutdown and restarting.

But this latest update did not start ver 155 with all my tabs. Has anyone else seen this? On Win 11 laptop. Steveg

On the Firefox mobile app, closed tab groups still count toward the open tabs count on some screens. This is frustrating as someone who likes to keep track of my open, active tabs accurately.

Not sure if this is an intended feature or not, but it is frustrating nonetheless.

One of the more particular habits I have retained after switching from Chrome to Firefox is putting things in Tab Groups. This works great on Chrome as groups are more-or-less visual, and don't make a mess once you've closed them. On Firefox, however, I've noticed one really annoying thing: tab groups are saved in a giant list. Part of my workflow results in making Tab Groups with the same name as some of my bookmarks. When using the address bar to go to the bookmark will result in the tab group of the same name being brought up. For various purposes, this is decidedly unhelpful. In addition, when using the "Recent Tab Groups" drop down, it is rather annoying to see an entire screen's worth of tab groups being saved, especially when they all have the same(ish) name.

Is there a way to disable this saving of tab group names (and contents)? Clearing it out manually gets very annoying.

This is a followup to a previous post. I pinned a tab in firefox, and later deleted the webpage that was pinnned. I do not see a way to edit the pin, so I deleted it and created a new one with the new, updated webpage. I use the sync feature to keep all of my browser settings the same across three computers. I have tried multiple approaches to correct the problem. 1. turned off the sync and manually unpinned the tab, cleared the cache and browser history, checked to be sure I do not have the option to reload previous tabs turned on, booted in the mode that does not load any plugins, rebooted the computers 2. with sync turned off, after all of those steps, I opened the new page and pinned it on each computer. when I close the browser and reopen it on any computer, the original pinned tab returns. Turning the sync back on or re-enabling the option to sync tabs and history have no effect.

Is there a way, even if it´s within the configuration files, to change that pinned tab or block the old one from opening? Note that the website for the old and the new pinned tab is the same. the difference is the page itself. the old tab was [website].administration-landing. the new page is [website].admin-lp.

The is no reason why the old page, which no longer exists, continues to be pinned in the browser, but I can´t get rid of it.

Please help. Thanks.
