help me restore all tabs if possible, there were more than 200 tabs i need to restore them. i tried to restore them through journal and other profiles but there were empty tabs there too.

you are repeating old mistakes. You have become worse than Microsoft. Firefox is not remembering open tabs again. I have supported your Firefox until now but enough is enough.

Since I updated firefox a day or so ago, the tabs on my tab bar display at the top of the window change width to add the audio icon when the tab starts playing audio, which I find distracting especially when the active tab plays audio intermittently in response to my interactions with the tab. I couldn't find anything about that in the settings page. How do I turn this off so that tabs in the tab bar (at least the active tab) stay the same width?

When I open Firefox browser around ten several weeks old tabs are there. It is not set in the setting to open. I did many attempts to get rid of this nuisance and they are still here. I Created new profile, erased all profiles, removed Firefox, and reinstalled with option not to use old setting since new installation found that the fire fox has been installed. And frustration part that Mozilla do not offer (as I know) support to fix this problem. This glitch is hidden somewhere and the program always find it an put it back. I am not sure if what to do as I run out of options, other than turn to another browser after many years using only Firefox with no problems at all. Thanks Ned

I have over 2000 tabs stored in multiple tab groups using the Legacy extension "TAB GROUPS" in Firefox 56. I recognize this is out of date and I was going to migrate the tabs to the current version. I was unaware that Tab Group would no longer be verified as of March 14. I need to save all of the tabs in TAB GROUPS to favorites. Is there someway to temporarily enable TAB GROUPS so I can recover the websites? Is there a session file that has the websites that I can access? Help - I am in desperate need!

Hi a few well known sites annoyingly load booking.com in a new tab on my firebox browser. I cant stand this it is intrusive. How to I stop firefox from doing this - I have block pops setting enabled but does not help.

Offending sites to name but a few are ryanair, thetrainline, and a few others. Is there a way to stop this without stopping other legitimate needed new tabs such as with Gmail login

thanks D.

Hello,

So I have this habbit I love which is opening a link on a new tab, then continue browsing the content on my old tab until the new one loads, or when I am done reading through it. Recently, firefox has been switching automatically to the new tab once it loads, which interrupts my workflow/reading a lot.

Is there a way I can stop this or turn this feature off? I believe I start experiencing this after an update.

I have set the option to "Open previous windows and tabs" at Startup. But sometimes when I restart Firefox it starts out blank. Then I looked into how I could restore previous session but contrary to the article below, I couldn't find "Restore Previous Session" option under Settings/History. Please advise what I am missing. Thanks.

The browser always refreshes the website page by itself, opening the page and switching the browser to the backend or foreground but resting the screen for a while will force the page to refresh, and data that has been entered but not submitted is lost.

At first I thought it was a wrong setting or a problem with the extension. After I reinstalled it, it still occurs, and it happens with all versions (nightly version, iceraven and waterfox as well).

Looking into the information I thought it was the WebSocket live link that would automatically disconnect to save power, and network fluctuations as well. Disconnecting switches to the connection prompt screen, which looks like a refresh. Maybe my guess is wrong.

I currently mitigated this by modifying the "media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh.peerconnection_section" function to false to alleviate this, but it still forces the page to refresh.

Description: I would like to request the addition of a "Go to Last Used Tab" shortcut, also commonly referred to as a "Recall" feature. This functionality is extremely useful for quickly switching between the last two active tabs without needing to cycle through all open tabs.

Currently, I use Ctrl+Tab to cycle through tabs in order and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle in reverse order. While this works, it is not ideal for scenarios where I frequently need to switch between two specific tabs (e.g., tab #25 for monitoring the progress of a web app and tab #129 for working on an email). In such cases, having a dedicated shortcut to jump directly to the last used tab would significantly improve productivity and usability.

Proposed Solution: Add a new keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Backtick or a user-configurable option) that allows users to instantly switch to the last used tab.

Benefits:

   Reduces the need to manually cycle through tabs, saving time.
   Enhances workflow efficiency when multitasking across multiple tabs.
   Aligns Firefox with features available in other modern browsers.
    

Use Case Example:

   I’m actively working on a task in tab #129 (e.g., writing an email).
   I periodically check the progress of a web app in tab #25.
   Instead of cycling through tabs using Ctrl+Tab or searching for the desired tab, I could simply press a "Recall" shortcut to toggle between these two tabs instantly.
    

This feature would greatly enhance the user experience, especially for power users who frequently switch between tabs.

There is no longer a 'search tabs' symbol at the top section of the Firefox browser page since I switched to the vertical sidebar for tabs and after searching for help the Mozilla suggestion of ctrl+B just tries to search bookmarks. Please can you help as I have many many tabs always open and use this symbol frequently. Thankyou

I have a firefox that saves each and every window it displays. I would prefer having only the existing windows in my system. For instance, when I click on Firefox and goto all windows there is one only, not 2 to 50 of them. This happens with only one machine and I want to stop it.

I thought I had already sent this but I couldn't find it.

Thoughts?
