See title. On ultra-wide, I would use split view with 4 or 5 tabs regularly if it was available. Please consider adding that function. Also, please add a dark mode to your support site.

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.

After recent updates there is a line in my open tabs list, currently below the first five open tabs. Why is it there? How can I make it go away? I'm using MacOS 11.7.11, Firefox 158.0.

Sorry if this problem have already solved before.

After update 158, I've noticed change of closing tabs when it involve unloaded and unopened tabs. I'll try my best to explain: Pre-update 158 - For example, I have 3 tabs. Left-hand is an unopened tab with coloured icon and no image preview. Middle one is I'm currently on. Right-hand is has been opened but I unloaded it; it has grey icon. When I close the current tab, the browser moves to tab on the right and loads it. This is usual behaviour since I started using Firefox long time ago.

After update 158 - Same example as above but when I close the current tab, the browser moves to one on the left instead.

This change means that the browser no longer moves to right-hand tabs if they're unloaded unless if I choose manually. Also, if I have 4 tabs but #1 is unopened with coloured icon, #2 is unloaded with grey icon, #3 is current tab and #4 is unloaded with grey icon. If I close the current tab, #3, it goes to #1 automatically.

So is there something in config to restore back to previous behaviour?

Bonjour, j'ai perdu beaucoup de temps aujourd'hui car mes onglets ont disparu sans savoir pourquoi. Je les ai tous recréé mais en fermant Firefox, les onglets ont de nouveau disparu. Qu'est ce qui se passe? c'est très irritant. L'option de conserver les onglets est activée, mais il semble que votre browser est complétement instable en ce moment. Pouvez vous m'orienter rapidement vers une solution? c'est vraiment pénible comme problème

I think this started 1 or 2 days ago, after a Firefox update. When clicking on a bookmark and using "open in new tab", anew tab isn't opened. The wanted bookmark page just replaces the earlier screen, and no new tab is made.

I had to restart my computer for updates so I clicked on my container and closed it thinking it was like closing a program and then re-opening it. Now it's gone and several hours research with it. Is there any way to restore a closed container?

如题，请问如何跨设备同步标签页群组？ 现在似乎只能跨设备同步已经打开的标签页，但是无法同步标签页群组。

As the title suggests, may I ask how to synchronize TAB groups across devices? It seems that now only open tabs can be synchronized across devices, but TAB groups cannot be synchronized.

How can I set a different home page for each container tab? It seems the default option is the same 1 home page regardless of which container tab it's in. But if I truly want to separate work vs. home by use of container tabs, then I'd like to default to different home pages.

This is new behaviour. I havent been playing with the settings, so I imagine its come as a side effect of an update...?

Very frustrating since I have come to rely on having 6 permanent tabs which I use every day for new, prices, weather etc...

Why do you developers keep ruining this browser with all this tab-editing bs? Reopen tab, collaps tab, move tab, add split view, add tab to group....? I don't need any of this crap, and now everytime I move one of the tabs like in the past, it either dissapears or splits up into a mess. I know the world has started enshitifying itself. You don't need todo the same, Firefox. Shame

Как сделать так чтобы при открытии ссылок с панели закладок они открывались в новой вкладке а не в той которой уже что то открыто,типо если у меня активная вкладка ютуб и я хочу открыть твич то при нажатии на твич закладку он откроет в вкладке ютуба тем самым ютуб пропадет и все пипец.В настройках не нашел чет насчет этого ничего,если это нельзя поменять то я ржу и удаляю этот браузер

Despite re-installing Firefox sidebar is still missing (I spent 3 full days trying to fix it before re-installing). I also can't obtain another tab - I'm restricted just to the one page I'm currently using

There doesn't seem to be an "Other " or "Additional Options" category, so if Settings isn't in the correct category, please tell me where to post this. TIA

I want to be able to create multiple default 'pinned" tabs that will appear every time I open up a new window. Is that possible? If so, how? Again, TIA

Hello, As a Manifest V3 refugee I'm coming from Edge and I really like the changes I see Firefox has made over the years. At our company we started using Firefox by default for new installs instead of Edge for a few weeks now. There are a few features that we definitely miss, namely:

• Copy Link Text on right click. It's a very helpful feature on Edge. It copies the text that's link formatted because I don't need to open the link I just want to copy the text. Yes holding ALT works, but it's not as convenient.
• Split Tabs. Split screen is great, but UI elements take up space. It would be nice if it were managed by the browser. That way even going full screen with F11 gets me a clear view of both sites.
• I also miss the ability to use Bitwarden (or any password manager extension) alongside my browser password manager. I use each for different purposes, and disabling the built-in password manager because an extension is installed means I only have to use Bitwarden. I have it set up in a way that Bitwarden is for secure password that need biometrics, and my browser password manager is for less important passwords (internal tools mostly).

I'm sure more things will come up in the future as I'm using Firefox on both desktop and mobile. And I am really liking it compared to all the browsers I used for both platforms.
