I need to know how to recover all my tabs after closing them accidentally. I dropped my phone when trying to access tabs settings to disable the "inactive section" (that I had not enabled, I don't know why that thing was done without my consent), and accidentally hit "close all tabs". I see that, as of last year, there was no way to do it, but maybe after all the questions about this they added something. Recently closed tabs still shows the last that I closed manually

My tabs are being refresh everytime after I left to switch to other tabs then come back. This constantly happening even when I did not open another app, just browsing between firefox tabs. Already play with battery setting in app info and change it to unrestricted and nothing changes. Can anyone help? btw I'm using galaxy tab s6

Just updated Firefox to version 132.1 on my iPhone and now all of my tabs are gone. Going to history and trying to restore previous session doesn’t work and my history does not go back far enough to get my previously opened tabs back. Is there anyway to restore them?

Tabs for my website URL, once assigned to a now-deleted container, keep crashing. Deactivating "Container" add-on did not help. My URL opens fine on other computers, other browsers. It seems permanently contaminated by a bad container assignment. No other tabs crash. Help!

I have 4 tabs open on the firefox app in my android phone.Only 1 appears on my desktop firefox browser in the 'Tabs from other devices' section. I have an android tablet as well but it doesnt face such an issue.

经常发生的问题：安卓Firefox进入后台后再次打开，网页重新加载，出去看个验证码都不行，严重影响体验。 Frequently occurring problems: After Android Firefox enters the background and is opened again, the webpage is reloaded. Because of this, even going out to view the verification code is not possible, which seriously affects the experience. 软件没有被杀后台，是软件自身的问题。 The software was not killed in the background, it was a problem with the software itself.

I’m on an iPad Pro 12.9, Gen 5 - MANY of us have the same issue and only with Firefox: You can move a tab, but it reverts to the previous position immediately. I have changed/adjusted/reset every setting that I can think of and nothing changes. You can move the tab - but it reverts to its original position automatically. This is a bug that Mozilla needs to fix - and, from what I have been reading has needed to fix for a lot longer than I thought… over the course of YEARS. With all of these complaints I would think that Mozilla would be working a little harder on this issue. It seems to me that it should not be that hard of a task within the programming - but that is just my retired IT brain thinking out loud.

After updating to version 129.2 on my iPhone, I can no longer rearrange my tabs. I can tap and hold on a tab and move it but then it snaps back to the old position. This is making the browser unusable for me. I have tried closing and reopening the app and restarting my iPhone but neither worked.

When switching to another app from Firefox and then switching back to firefox, the webpage reloads. This is not a memory issue, I have enough RAM and it happens even if I only have 1 tab open. This is a major pain when I need to enter a 2FA code and need to swith apps to get the code. Or if I'm watching a YouTube video and get a call, the youtuve page reloads after the call has ended. Please suggest how to fix this.

Today all my Tabs on Firefox suddenly disappeared/ got closed. Usually they were saved and opened automatically. This worked well for years. Is there any technique to reconstruct them?

If you leave more than one tab in the background while using Firefox, it may irregularly automatically shut down. This happens even if you manually change the close after n hours in the settings, and I'm currently using Samsung Galaxy. For Galaxy Tab, I've tried to lock the app, allow the background, etc. to prevent this irregular shutdown, but to no avail. How do I solve these problems?

Updated to the latest version of Firefox Beta today on my Tablet and have noticed that now there is support for on-screen visible "Desktop-Like" tab strips.

I want to turn this feature off because it's consuming too much vertical space. How can I disable this? I've looked everywhere within settings and even within the debug menu and about:config, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Many medical conditions limit manual dexterity. I’ve had essential tremor since childhood; it’s harmless, but it does complicate the business of using a smart phone. Some applications (e.g., Proton Mail) have settings for the user to choose what happens upon swiping left or right; I set them to “do nothing” or to the most harmless of the actions listed. I don’t see such a setting in the Android version of Firefox.

It would be useful, because I usually keep many tabs open, which means that when I look at the grid of tabs, I need to scroll up and down to see them all. However, moving my finger straight up or down is difficult: any trembling while I move up or down seems to be interpreted as swiping sideways, and then a tab closes. I can find and re-open tabs using the “Recently closed tabs” menu, but I’d rather tabs not close so easily because I don’t always notice when I lose them.

There’s a somewhat similar, archived comment at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419070, but the setting referred to in one of the proposed solutions is about swiping on the address bar (I turned that off long ago), not in the grid of tabs. And I don’t see a way to disable left- and right-swiping for all applications at once in the Settings app of Android 12, with which I’ll be stuck for a while.

With the new iPhone iOS update to iOS 18, the tab view is expanded so I can only see two tabs at a time on my screen (see attached screenshot). Since I routinely have over 50 tabs open, this makes it very difficult to scroll through to find the one I want, or even just to peruse them.

Before the update, two open tabs were visible in each row, so I could see at least four open tabs at a time.

Is there any way to modify the view so I can see more tabs per screen again?

On my iPhone Firefox browser, every time I swipe out of the browser to my Home Screen or to another app and then return to Firefox, it never returns to my recently used tab. Instead, it opens a new tab. How can I change the settings so that every time i open Firefox it goes back to my recent tab

Closing tabs on android, whether i swipe them away, or tap the X, will sometimes, but not always, unintentionally open the tab above or below (not sure of tattern here either).

This behavior is eating a lot of mobile data if i want to close a lot of tabs, since the browser will then often open and reload a good portion of the tabs I'm about to close.

This is the main reason I'm not using Firefox on mobile.

Hi,

I would like to be able to switch from tab to tab in 'Firefox Android'. The tabs are not listed next to the two dots ':' Can someone help me with this? This would be much appreciated, as I enjoy 'Mozilla Firefox' very much. Thank you.

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

ARRGH!!! Firefox used to be good! I want to use it for the little browsing I'm forced to do on the phone because I think it's pretty secure, but it is really impossible to deal with the way you all have the tabs arranged!

I open the app to find a tab I've recently used, to show someone something and the tabs are gone. There's a box with a number, and the tabs are in there, but in a totally inconvenient format where anyone who is with me can see all the pages I have open as I scroll through to find the one I want to show them. It's very annoying.

So instead of just being able to scroll the tabs back and forth and choose the one I want, where it's just the tabs with descriptions in type so small nobody but me could read them, I have to open that effing stupid page and then angle my phone, so curious clients or family or others who happen to be next to or behind me can't see all the tabs I have open. It's awkward and weird.

I just don't need people giving me a hard time about, or even trying to discuss with me, politics or art or anything else I've opened but don't choose to share with them. Your design makes it so I sometimes have to. Seriously Mozilla, what the eff are you people thinking?

I don't want to be confined to some developer's idea of how I should be browsing. Just give us choices, Mozilla!
