I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I'm writing because I’ve encountered an issue with the tab groups feature in Firefox.

Some time ago, after a browser update, I noticed a new feature that allowed me to group tabs thematically — I could name each group (e.g., "Study", "Work"), choose a color for it, and save and close groups to reopen them later. I found it very useful and used it a lot.

Last night, I decided to declutter my browser and closed several tab groups using the built-in menu. A bit later, I shut down my computer, but perhaps too quickly. This morning, when I turned my computer back on, Firefox was very slow to start. After a restart, everything seemed to work fine again, and the open tabs were restored.

However, all my previously saved (but temporarily closed) tab groups disappeared. In the tab group menu, I can now only see the ones currently open. I’ve searched through all the settings and history but cannot find any way to restore the missing groups.

Is there any way to recover the tab groups that I had previously saved and closed?

Thank you very much in advance!

After my bitwarden add-on failed me, I remembered ChatGPT helping me with this another time - but I got it wrong. I right clicked the extensions button (I have 3 add-ons falling under that button) and removed from tool bar, thinking I could then reinstall it and the Bitwarden issue would rectify.

Instead, the extension icon disappeared, and is nowhere to be located. ChatGPT wants to do some reconfiguring but surely there's a better way. I have looked in "customise toolbar" (ie, right click toolbar, click customise toolbar and look for the icon" - but the puzzle piece icon is not there.

Surely I have hidden the puzzle piece icon somehow and I need to do some sort of magic to make it reappear... Have never had this issue with Firefox previously.

I have asked this question before and followed ALL recommendations to no avail. I received no other suggestions to now, nearly a year later I am asking this question again. I had to stop using my favorite browser because of this. You all used to help your users but alas, no more. Here is a link to my previous question and then below is my present question;

I am running a fully updated Windows 11 computer. I have 4 fully up to date browsers; Vivaldi 7.5.3735.66 (Stable channel) (64-bit); EDGE Version 139.0.3405.125 (Official build) (64-bit); DuckDuckGo version 0.126.3; and Firefox 142.01. I play Bejeweled Blitz on FaceBook. The game works perfectly on all browsers EXCEPT Firefox. When I try to play on Firefox I get a message that says I must "upgrade to the latest version of Flash:. There is NO flash anymore. Why am I getting this message on Firefox but the game works just fine on all other browsers?

Hi All,

I was using the following CSS to hide the navigation images and show only text labels on the context menu for the Back, Forward, Reload and Bookmark Page menu options...

/* Content Area Context Menu - Navigation Vertical Text */
#context-navigation,
#context-navigation > menuitem{
  flex-direction: column !important;
}

/* hide images */
#context-back image, #context-forward image,
#context-reload image, #context-stop image,
#context-bookmarkpage image{
   display: none !important;
}

/* show text labels */
#context-back:after, #context-forward:after,
#context-reload:after, #context-stop:after,
#context-bookmarkpage:after{
   content: attr(aria-label) !important;
   margin-inline-start: -19px !important; /* this pushes navigation text items to left, aligned with other menu items below */
}

It worked up until a couple of versions ago, but something has changed, and my CSS is now broken, and those navigation icons are back.

My context menu now looks like the attached image below.

Any help with showing only text labels on this menu is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello, we were just assigned brand new laptops at work. I had IT install Firefox for me, and I'm attempting to sync my firefox account with my previous one so that I can load all the open tabs I had on my previous laptop. I appeared to have signed into my account just fine on the Mozilla pages, but when I go to the hamburger menu in the top right of the browser, I see no icon for my profile, nor any option for "sign in and sync" like the help guides are instructing me to click on. I can't pull up anything related to syncing in the settings, either. What exactly am I missing? Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Just updated to FF 141.0.3. The browser had advised me to restart to finish the update. So I did. But in doing so, not all my tabs were recovered.

Most were, but like 3 were not.

The previous version allowed me to have Firefox as my browser and Brave as my search engine. Now Brave is both my browser and search engine. In the general settings, it says Firefox is my default browser. I'm confused. I just want to be like it was before the update. Please help.

When pasting an image from the clipboard in Outlook Web Access in Edge there's right mouse button option to "Paste as Image". This places the image inline. In Firefox there's no option like this.

Safe mode (troubleshooting mode) doesn't fix this. Ctrl + V or Shift + Ctrl + V doesn't fix it. Shift RMB to get Firefox menu does show Paste and Paste without formatting but it doesn't paste any inline image.

I've attached a screenshot of Edge and Firefox with the Outlook context menu and Firefox context menu.

Firefox version: 140.0.4 (64-bit) Edge version: 138.0.3351.83 (Official build) (64-bit)

When following the instruction to sync bookmarks on Android phone it leads me to items that are not there. Open Firefox mobile on phone. Ok. Hit the 3 dots drop down. Ok. Choose sync and save. Not there? I click my email and it shows sync. I click that and it shows the last time I sync my phone. 0 minutes. Ok. It shows a QR code to scan from the Firefox app. It instructs to click ready to scan. That's not there either. If instructions lead you down paths that are not present, the instructions are useless. Anyone else having this experience? Thanks..........

Firefox is not saving my passwords. Every time I start up my laptop, all the saved passwords are gone. I have tried a refresh and a new install as well, but the problem persists. I have to sync to my other machine to restore them.
