I-Firefox Community Forum

thank you in advance for your time!!

i open firefox and it opens the tabs from when i closed it. that is good.

when i open task manager, it says there are 13 or more tabs open but it only shows 3-5 tabs open??

it uses up so much of my memory and who is it that has access?

again, thank you!

Since doing a Refresh of my Firefox installation - I have noticed several changes in behavior.

target="_blank" has changed its behavior - it now causes the browser to jump to the new tab (regardless of ANY settings that may stop it changing) - the middle click business "SUCKS".

When downloading multiple links from an index file - it was just a matter "tab" - "enter" to work down the list. The new behavior causes too much tab jumping about on the screen - very wasteful of time and energy.

When I actually click a link on a page - the same things happen - too many clicks required to get the job done.

I generally download files in batches of 300 files.

Any other options are too time consuming !!!

As I am trying to make my browsing faster by minimizing the use of the mouse, I have come across an issue: if I search among all tabs on Firefox for Mac, either by "shift + command + A" or by adding a percent sign to the address / search bar, selecting a tab that is within a collapsed tab group deleted the tab group in question in this keyboard-based manner of execution. This issue leads to the unnecessary need to recreate the tab group. I have verified the issue at least with a collapsed tab group containing a single tab.

I've run into an issue on macOS where Firefox does not restore my previous session if I close the browser using the red "X" window button. I have the "Open previous windows and tabs" checked in settings.

• Scenario A: If I click the red "X" button to close the Firefox window and then reopen Firefox, my previous tabs are gone (except for pinned tabs) and a new session is started.

• Scenario B: If I use Cmd + Q (or Firefox > Quit) to close the application, my session restores perfectly upon the next launch.

It seems that closing the window updates the session state to an empty window, wiping out the saved session even though the application process is still running in the macOS dock.

Is there a way to configure Firefox on macOS so that closing the last window via the red "X" preserves the session tabs just like Quitting does?

Somehow I changed something and I don't remember what I did. When I click on a link or bookmark another tab is opened, which is what I want, but my browser doesn't go to that page automatically. How do I get the browser to go to the link I clicked on? I'm using Windows 10 with Firefox 159.0

Thanks, Rafal

I updated to Firefox 159.0 and now when I click on a link it doesn't open the link in a new tab. I tried the extensions and they did not work. I also tried changing some of the setting in "about:config" and restarting Firefox after making the changes and the links still open in the same tab.

Thank you, Rafal
