I was excited to receive the new Tab Groups feature and am now disappointed that it's not working and I've 'lost' dozens of tabs.

Here's what I did: I created several groups by right-clicking and added tabs to each of the groups. Since it appears that only way to collapse a group is to "save and close group," I closed each group. Now they are all gone. When I right-click to create a new group or "add tab to group," the closed groups are nowhere to be found. Plus, I do not see a "list all tabs icon" on my toolbar to reopen the grouped tabs, which is what [article] says should happen.

Suggestions for making this work?

I have asked, before, and insofar I am aware, was ignored. I click a link on a page. The new page and tab used to appear next the to 'parent' page, ie the page where the link was. For a while now, this is NOT happening. The new page appears SOMEWHERE off to my right. I now have to shuffle between 2 related tabs. If the second page has a link I need to follow, that page appears SOMEWHERE else off to the right also. Now I have 3, related pages, remote from each other. I could drag them together, but why do I have to? In any case, when done with 3 I close it, when done with 2 I close it. Next item on 1 and start the whole debacle all over again. What I'm saying is why can related pages not appear next to each other? Logical for me and way less frustrating. In the screen capture, see the yellowish heart-shaped tabs. Why are there 3 other unrelated tabs in between?

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.

Good day I have tried all options, safe mode, disable hardware acceleration, and nothing works, I click on a link, and it opens in the same window, I even uninstalled version 144.0.2

Windows 11 Pro Ver 21H2 Firefox version is 140.4.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks for your help

Hi, I'm having difficulty getting tabs to open as I prefer.

I have browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent set to true.

When I right click on a link and select Open Link in New Tab, it does open the new tab next to the current one. However, if I then repeat to open another new tab, this appears to the right of the first one, rather than right next to the current tab.

So, if I open a series of tabs, they appear 1 2 3 4 5 next to current. I would like them to appear 5 4 3 2 1.

Is there another setting that is interfering? I wondered if the tab groups settings are making a difference?

Many thanks!

When I open the tab tray and realize that I don't know where the tab I'm looking for is, I would like to be able to type some search terms to find it.

This is when I am searching for a tab that I know is open, so I'm not using the new tab workflow.

I like the feature of opening links in private tabs, but I would like to make some exceptions.

Some of the news papers / magazines I subscribe to do not provide native apps, they only offer web sites. I have their web sites saved to my home screen using "Add to Home screen". Because I have "Open links in a private tab" enabled, I have to log in every time, which is getting really annoying.

Things I have tried:

• Removing the site from my home screen and making sure the shortcut was created from a standard tab and not a private tab
• Searching the settings for a way to specify a list of exempted domains

Is there a way to accomplish this that is am missing?

When right-clicking on a tab and choosing Move Tab, the option for a new window has gone MIA from the tab context menu. It still shows To Start and To End. Is there a config option that got changed?

After having created a couple of tab groups with some of the numerous tabs that were already open in my browser (Firefox, of course) and then closing and reopening the browser shortly after, no tabs at all reopened even though this is my normal setting for Firefox: open all previous tabs when opening firefox. This setting had always worked before - as it does now with the new tabs. However, all my previous tabs as well as the freshly created groups have vanished. Do you have an explanation and ideally a way of recovering the tabs - or the groups at least? Thank you very much. Kind regards, Kerstin

I've been using Firefox for a good few years now, on my computer as well as my mobiles. After the latest update for my IOS (144.1 or 62735) and I've always loved the inactive tab system. I've noticed that some users have not shared my appreciation for it but as it has now been seemingly removed, (and I am unable to find anywhere in settings to toggle it back on) my tabs are now too many to efficiently traverse. Finding a specific tab is almost impossible.

Some of you may say, "Hey Truck, that's a you problem," and you'd be completely right! However since I do keep a lot of tabs on my mobile open and I don't close them down (because I usually go back and use them after the alloted 14 days) this is now an issue for me.

Wall of text aside, is there any chance that I may have overlooked in settings where to turn it on, and if not, could I please ask for that feature? Specifically Firefox IOS.

Many thanks, Truckmaster

Hello- When I am on a website and click link I would expect and want a new Tab to open-- I want it to open it in a new Tab and leave the page I'm on alone so I can go back to the original page.

Instead, Firefox overwrites that page and the tab with the a new one, and I have to hit the back button to get back to that original page. And most often the back arrow button is grayed out and I can't get back at all.

In settings, I've tried checking the box for: 'Open links in tabs instead of new windows' but that doesn't do it. I've also tried checking the box, 'When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately,' and that doesn't do it either.

I know that a work-around is to hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a link, but I'd like to set it as a default so I don't have to do that. That's a pain and not a natural function when browsing. To be sure, I want to click on links and that creates a new Tab without Ctrl Keys.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm using Firefox 64bit (version 144) on my Windows 11. I've noticed that I can no longer drag tabs around or detach them. I would guess this started with the latest version because I could do that some short time ago.

I've already tried the following:

• Restart of the browser - did not help
• Restart of the computer - did not help
• Start firefox in safe mode (Troubleshooting mode) - did not help
• Tried changing browser.tabs.allowTabDetach - did not help

I'm not sure what could be the problem. Does anyone experience the same issue?

Previously, this function had been working properly. However, starting from this period, many links or bookmarks would redirect to a new page after being clicked. I want to set it so that whenever I click on a link, a new tab will be created to open the page. Looking forward to your reply. Thank you！
