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.

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.

This long standing bug has been driving me crazy on Firefox android

I posted a temporary fix using violentmonkey in the comments

Is there a way we can have this tested by someone on the team? This seems to have fixed it on my end but I'd rather not have to use an add-on to fix this.

When using shift+tab or ctrl+shift+tab to cycle between tabs in a window, firefox will occasional skip across one or multiple tabs. This will also happen when clicking tabs directly with the mouse. The tab that should be selected shows briefly before the browser automatically switches to one of the adjacent tabs. I do not have the setting "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" enabled. This doesn't happen for any specific tabs or windows consistently, and it doesn't specifically happen to unloaded tabs.

After my mac restarted, all my tabs are in a group that I can't ungroup. All my preexisting groups are gone

After my macbook pro (Sequoia 15.7.7) restarted, every tab in both of my open Firefox windows were moved to a *tab group in a single window.* The tab group's name is the date—e.g., "2026-10-11 10:50 *". Right-click + `ungroup tabs` does nothing. If I open a new window, it automatically has a tab open in a tab group with a similar name. I can't move tabs into new tab groups. I hate this. I've lost all my previous tab groups, which I use to organize my work and hobbies, and now that's all gone. I've experienced this on TWO macbook pros. I also have a Windows 10 desktop, but that continues to work as expected.

Months ago, I disabled all AI features, and, and so in `about:config`, I can observe that `browser.tabs.groups.smart.*` are all set to false. I also just tried setting `browser.tabs.groups.enabled` to false, but it had no effect.

The tab "Collections" on mobile Android are way too sensitive to closing tabs that can never be recovered, since there's no history for closed tabs that aren't open from the collections. I will be scrolling through them like normal and it will be so sensitive it will think I swiped left on a tab and it'll just close tabs at random, never to be seen again!! I wish this was not a feature. I need it to be way less sensitive, so that only a very intentional swipe left AND hitting the X closes the tab. I've lost so many tabs and I can't remember what they even were because it happens so fast!!

Before the last update, I’m using version 157.0 now, it was possible to simply move a complete Firefox tab using drag-and-drop. I frequently used this feature in a multi-monitor setup. While it is still possible via a right-click and the "Move Tab" option, that takes more effort than simply clicking and dragging.

Is that just switched off and hidden in some options, and really no longer possible?

Thank you,

Firefox on Android still partially has tab groups enabled when you turn off the setting under Tabs -> Tab Grouping. The setting removes the header element in the tab view, but if you drag and move a tab to rearrange, it still shows the nesting animation over another tab and if you drop the tab it still shows the grouping UI. I don't want tab groups turned on. Is there a way to make sure this bug is resolved/seen?

I sometimes am able to work from home, and all I have as an Android Tablet, and it seems the android version of firefox doesn't have this functionality.

Context: In the customize sidebar section, if the "Vertical tabs" checkbox is checked, the vertical tabs can be switched between showing names and favicons, or just favicons. If, additionally, "Hide tabs and sidebar" is checked, then vertical tabs instead can be switched between showing names and favicons, or being completely hidden. (These settings are in the photo I uploaded)

The recent update seemed to add a feature I had been really wanting from vertical tabs. I could switch between all three states: favicons and names, just favicons, or completely hidden. I could do this by dragging the vertical tab pane smaller or bigger. A few days later, though, it stopped working, but I didn't change any settings (as far as I remember).

Is there any way to get the three-state vertical tabs back? They were really nice!

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?
