On iPad with Firefox 148.2: I often have multiple tabs open and despite block autoplay settings a tab might start playing something. How do I locate that tab without having to open each tab or get an extension? I have seen in some older help results that there was a speaker icon on the tab that is playing, but mine do not have that.

I have an issue with grouped tabs but I know where the grouped tabs are, I click the arrow facing down and it doesn't show the grouped tabs that I had, I don't know if it's because I turned off my PC when firefox was still open but I do that most of the time, when I opened firefox it said that it couldn't restore previous session or something like that and next thing I notice is that all my grouped tabs are gone. Is there a way to get them back?

Can anyone explain to me why Firefox apparently can't seem to maintain its open tabs? In a world where every other browser appears to retain active tabs between sessions, it seems Firefox will permanently lose all of them if you so much as blow on it, i.e., inadvertently close a tabless window, effectively overwriting any previous window with the open tabs. At the very least, other browsers allow users to recover any lost tabs, and even entire windows of tabs, with little effort. The fact that this hasn't been addressed is perplexing.

All of my tabs at the top of the Firefox window have vanished. There's a list of websites at the left side to choose -- but I am not able to open more than one window. I want to restore all of my tabs!

Hello! Recently i migrate to Windows 11 25H2 and when i use sleep mode and open browser after waking PC up - browser opens without all previously opened tabs and i need always use Ctrl+Shift+T to restore them. Sure, checkbox to "restore all previous tabs" are on. BUT! If i reboot PC (via shutdown or Shift+Reboot) and launch browser - all previously opened tabs are present. Found this issue 2-3 weeks ago and still cannot fix it.

In many cases when one opens a new tab, the new one is opened on the right of the "parent tab". After reading the web page of the new tab, one often decides that the new tab is no longer useful and deletes it. Firefox automatically opens the tab on the right of the deleted tab, rather than resuming the "parent tab" on the left. This seems to be an ineffective design as probabilistically there are perhaps >90% chance one wants to go back to the "parent tab".

Q1: should Firefox change the default for resuming the left? Q2: is there a setting that user can change?

Tab management has been changed. Very annoying new UI design.

I can no longer share all tabs with one click.

Please bring back this feature.

Is there a setting to go back to the old behavior?

In which version had this feature?

Where can I download  old version's APKs?

I have been having an issue with Firefox acting up after taking a screenshot - it's not EVERY time, but I need to use screenshots enough that it's a noticeable issue.

After the screenshot is saved, suddenly clicking on tabs "selects" them with no way to "deselect" them. This prevents me from switching to a new tab and sometimes even stops me from typing in the search bar. I have found no fix for this other than force quitting or restarting my computer completely.

Any help or direction would be appreciated :)

Maybe this is counter intuitive, and/or I don't understand pinned tabs, but is there a way to have pinned tabs visible in the tabs list, instead of hidden.

I find it very inconvenient in a variety of ways.

I have vertical tabs enabled and the "expand when hovering mouse" option is activated (see screenshot). However, the latter functionality tends to glitch at some point in basically every session. I can't tell if a specific action triggers it, so far it seems pretty random. The glitch is that either the tabs are expanded and won't collapse, or the opposite: they're collapsed and refuse to expand when I point at them. Is this feature maybe still experimental? or something? I'm running Firefox 149.0b5 DEveloper Edition on Garuda Linux (Arch based).

Hello and happy new year Mozilla !

I just saw that there isn't 'list tabs' (V) in the vertical layout. Did you have any idea of how to rectify this small oversight ? Thank for this browser. <3

Bye bye

The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.
