Firefox Extension "Tab Session Manager" will not open saved session tabs as a GROUP

From session to session, Tab Session Manager (TSM) displays any tab I have left open when I shut down Firefox. The TSM display of tabs appears in a vertical column (left side of screen) provided by the Firefox extension, Tree Style Tabs. At any time, I have a total of perhaps 600 tabs distributed among four separate windows in TSM, with each window linked to the task bar at screen bottom, letting me choose which window to display, full-screen,

Running Windows 7 64bit SP1, I have had no problems until now displaying any of the four windows, one at a time, in the left column of my screen. Yet, now, I lost one of the windows when starting a Firefox session, and only three windows appear. Trying to recover all of the windows, since I have no menu option other than to restore the entire four window backup, I have clicked on TSM's top menu to restore all four windows. TSM does respond to my single, left-click, but restores only one window of the original four. A right-click of the TSM menu at top right of my screen makes no reference to "restore all windows in selected backup" or "restore all windows in latest saved session".

Essentially, TSM has maintained a perfect record of all TSM backups ever made, each showing date and time, but since TSM now will not restore all windows, my operations in Firefox are crippled. In past incidents when windows have been missing, I have successfully restored all windows of any backup (each backup a set of multiple windows) chosen.

My "brute force" recourse is to restore the entire Windows 7 volume from a very recent image made in the imaging application Macrium Reflect, since all the TSM windows are so valuable to my work. But that does not resolve the TSM failure to restore all of the saved tab collections.

Meantime, I have located the repository of TSM image collections, and have been able to make test backups of large numbers of tabs, and restore them properly and completely. The major problem that remains is restoring all of the tabs from multiple windows contained in the same backup, as I could before. I have tried to reach a TSM community discussion on a GitHub link, but am uncertain where to proceed next.

• BTW-- to view the entire screen, which is too small to review in the Mozilla Forum popup viewer, open the .PNG image in MS Paint.

How can I remove Firefox from my Mac? I can't send it to the Trash. The software continually asks to be updated but this won't work. It reports a failure. So I tried to move it to the trash but that won't work. It appears to be locked to the operating system somehow.

Could you please advise a solution?

I tried looking for the answer but I keep finding questions about whether to open links in new tabs or new windows, and questions regarding whether to open a specific home page or blank page in a new window.

I would like Firefox not to open any window at all when I open it. I might go to Recent websites, or open my History to find a page I've visited last week. Of course if I press cmd-T or cmd-N, that's when I want a new window to open.

When I activate Firefox from another application and I have no windows open, I wouldn't like any new windows to open either.

Is this an option? I'm on Mac OS, Firefox 131.0.3.

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I am writing to seek assistance with a compatibility issue I'm experiencing while attempting to run Python scripts that interact with Firefox via Geckodriver.

Here are the details of my setup:

Operating System: Windows 11 (64-bit) Firefox Version: 131.0.3 (64-bit) Geckodriver Version: geckodriver-v0.35.0-win-aarch64 When I attempt to initialize Geckodriver in my Python script, it fails to launch Firefox, giving the following error message:

"Machine Type Mismatch: The image file Z:\My Drive\python\python Assets\geckodriver-v0.35.0-win-aarch64\geckodriver.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."

I downloaded the latest version of Geckodriver (v0.35.0) for Windows (aarch64) assuming compatibility with my setup. However, it seems there might be a mismatch between the architecture of my machine and the Geckodriver executable. I would appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue or recommendations on an appropriate Geckodriver version that would be compatible with my 64-bit Windows 11 system.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Firefox 131.0.3 (64 bit) Ubuntu Linux CPU % drop dramatically when opening Firefox Task Manger.

While listening to an audio steaming service in tab1 that utilises ~ 58% CPU, opened up Firefox Task Manager in tab2. CPU load drops dramatically to ~ 8% without doing anything to existing processes and all the while audio is still steaming while in tab2. When switching back to tab1 CPU load increases again to ~ 58%. CPU load measured with Linux HTOP app.

Questions: 1. What is the reason for this? Can it have something to do with display card that is maybe used intensively in tab1 and not in tab2? 2. If the above in 1) is true then surely Firefox Task Manager does not measure active CPU loads correctly? 3. Is there any learnings from this to improve overall Firefox performance as standard?

Hi,

I am using a combination of the Firefox Desktop app on Windows 11 and the Firefox Android app on Android 15 (fully up to date) on a Google Pixel 8a.

Tabs on the phone app are not automatically syncing with the Desktop app. If tabs are open on the app, they are not reflected in the Firefox View tab or within my Desktop Browser History. If I press the Share option within the app, and choose my Desktop device, there is no change on the Desktop app. The only way I have made this work is to click on the Desktop - Account options and click Synchronise Now and then the expected behaviour occurs. I have signed out and logged back in using my Mozilla account and the same issue is occuring.

Is there a way to set it up so that I do not have to manually sync to get shared tabs across 2 devices?

Thanks.

For the past several days I have not been able to access articles or sign in at the New York Times using Firefox. I am not sure which if any settings I may need to change. Is there someone in Seattle I can reach?

I'm bi-and a half-lingual with ADD. For me the intrusive automatic translation popup is a nightmare.

I don't want to tell Firefox on a per language basis that I know that language, or on a per website basis that I don't want to translate that website. Please just make it stop! If I want a translation, then let me press a button to get a translation. Don't push it into my face!

This is an accessibility issue. I rely on adblocker to remove similar intrusive content from web sites so I can use the web, but now it's built into the browser itself. This causes unnecessary stress and makes the web less accessible.

Please add and easy to find option in the popup to stop it from ever appearing again, for ant language, on any website.

Hi - have been having an issue since 128 where I can't select items in certain menus in Firefox with the mouse. Each time I open Firefox, it works once. Subsequently, the focus in the menu is completely off from where I put my mouse, and I can't click anything. (I would upload a video, but there doesn't seem to be a way). An example of the behavior is: -hamburger menu open. Mouse is on 'Translate page', but focus is on 'save page as'.

• This happens with both the trackpad and the mouse.
• I don't experience this issue with other applications.
• I can navigate some of the menu options with the keyboard. For example, in the Bookmark menu I can select Save, but not Remove bookmark.
• I don't have any issue with the main nav bar (File, Edit, etc)

This applies to for example: Save bookmarks (cmd+d), Hamburger Menu, Update reminders, and the new Translation dialog (have attached screenshots of some affected items). I can't inspect them to see if they are all the same component that is causing the issue, because they disappear if you choose Inspect. (I'm unable to see a "Disable popup autohide" setting in my meatball menu, as described here). I also tried the steps listed [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../957538] here. Things I have tried:

• resetting PRAM/SMC just in case it's my machine
• disabling hardware acceleration
• starting in safe mode
• refreshing Firefox
• updating to the latest version (thrice)

Hi, I'm using Amd 7900X3d cpu without graphic card. İf I use without graphic card, firefox render like belowed image with corruption. İf I use dicrete nvidia graphic card firefox working correctly. Edge running working well in both cases.

I'm using amd 7600 cpu other pc everything working very well in without graphic card.

I believe that someone has linked their phone to my phone number and also to my emails. We have the same phone and same service. I really want this other device off my account. Please and thank you 😊

Nothing unusual in Windows 11 or Firefox Settings. Clicking the padlock icon, I see that connections are secure, but when a mouse-down cursor carrying a URL or image moves beyond the browser, it changes into a red circle-slash icon that fails to deliver the link or image.

Works fine in Edge (but I don't). Fixes and suggestions most welcome.

I have been using Firefox successfully up until yesterday. I now get no response when clicking on the shortcut icon on my desktop. I have run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter and get the result "Incompatible Program" and error code 0x80070483. I have Firefox 131.0.3.223 and Windows10.0 x64. How does a program become "Incompatible" and how does one fix it.
