When I pin a tab, then quit Firefox, the pin is lost forever.

Most other tickets I've seen are about restoring them, but I'm looking for some setting to change so that I can pin tabs.

My history is set to: Remember My setting to delete all cookies and site data on close is unchecked

Any ideas?


Thanks a million!

I have tried to keen a two year old version of Firefox for Android going but finally had to update. I have always used and supported Firefox since the start but I am now loosing my patience with the new development.

All I want is to open a new tab and it will take me straight to my homepage. Something that used to be a basic feature of using a search engine. Now days I have to tap about three times to select my homepage in Google.

I have seen this question asked before on this and no defined answer. I have tried everything.

Why do I have to have a custom Firefox page in every new tab, I don't care about all the noise from sites, preferences - I don't want to know some morose politicians wears pink frilly nickers every time I open a tab... All I want is to simply, easily start my search on Google again every time I open a new tab.

Not much to ask is it?

P.S Yes I have cleared all preferences on Firefox homepage tab. Set Google as my homepage & not using any customised jump back ins. My opening is also set to homepage- doesn't work

I went to settings and set firefox to open links in a NEW TAB instead of a new window, but it still opens links in a new window. I did a search on google and when I click on the link for the website to see the information it is still opening in a new window. How can I fix this so I don't have a lot of new windows. It's irritating to have to close all those stinking windows just to get back to my original window. I just want the links I click on to open in a new tab.

When I glance away then tap to wake up phone the browser pops a new tab which is frustrating-to the point I am ready to use something else on my phone if I can't downgrade the browser version. I need to know how to downgrade because my browser is now not a joy to use. Note, I did not change my browser settings-it was the last simple update that broke it.

I am trying to set it up so I can have more than one tab at a time or dont have to go to the corner to find a list of tabs or go to a diffrent window to open one. I have the box in the corner with the numbers but that sometimes vanishes entirely so I only have the one tab and would like it to be like most browsers where you can see them all at the top. I cant get the extension that manages it because the only computer I have is one given to me by my job that's a chrome book and doesn't support those extentions, I tried. About:config doesnt work it just tells me that's not a site or gives me advice on how to use it which isn't really helpful when I can't even search it or find the spot for it. The tabs section in the settings only offers to put it on top or bottom of screen or to have it inactive or not, or automatically close them, there is no option to have more than one tab. Please help I've tried everything I can think of and everything I could find online.

So, I have thousands of tabs hoarded that I want to transfer to PC. The normal and obvious solutions would be SYNC, but that outright breaks due to the amount (doesn't return a thing), while SHARE has a bizarre limit of 99 with a cooldown - would take days at that rate. The bug is already reported, but I don't expect that to be fixed any time soon. So, any alternatives?

Hello community, first of all i must say that i find it disappointing and upsetting that we're left between each other if help is needed, that there isn't actually an official resolution centre, to make a report, file a case and be answered by a Mozilla expert directly whenever and try to resolve it 1 on 1,first reason to dump Firefox.

2nd reason, we're in year 2022, yes, we've come a long long way in technology and software development and there's still NO option to make a BACKUP, a clone of your current Firefox profile or have an option for automatic backup from time to time or at least before you do an update etc.

I was updating my Firefox and didn't have enough space so after it downloads the update just won't install it. No worries, easy, freed space and let's try again, success....Or not, as I've LOST all my opened tabs, just gone. Yes sync is on, logged in, activated but what's really point of it??? I think most of us saw it as something in a way of an online backup of our tabs, bookmarks, logins, history, add-ons etc. somewhere in some cloud if something goes wrong to be able and restore stuff not just sync between devices which is also confusing and not syncing asking from/to what to sync between devices.

Why is it so difficult to add a backup option online or on devices storage? I'd literally give anything to be able and get my tabs back but it's impossible as the

After updating to the latest version, I am not able have more than one tab open. When I try to open a new tab or switch between open tabs, the browser starts rapidly switching the original tab and new tab not allowing you to use either. It only stops when all but one tab is closed. This occasionally happened in the old version but only when the original tab hadn't completely loaded before opening the new tab. The icons in the address bar (reader view etc.) are also constantly flashing regardless of how many tabs are open. Any fixes?

I want to select multiple Tabs from a bookmark folder to open in the background.

On Chrome this used to be quite easy: Just open the Dropdown, click whichever tabs you wanted to open with the Mousewheel and done.

On Firefox you need to enable new tabs to open in Background first. I managed to find the setting for that with google after a while. You need to go to advanced settings by typing about:config into your url bar.

Then you search for browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground and click "enable".

But this didn't fix the other issue I had, that the dropdown menu always closes as soon as I click anything.

Is there a way so it stays open until I'm done selecting the pages I want?
