Firefox crashed. I am trying to get it to how I had it before this. One of the problems is the new tabs thing. I know about CTRL-T, I have not used it. I have used the + on the tabs for years. I know, big deal, it's just inconvenient, interrupts my train of thought to switch, which is no big deal. But if anyone has a moment and can answer, it would be a blessing for me. Thank you.

PROSZĘ zróbcie czułość rozwijania bocznego panelu. Nie wiem czy to tylko w ostatnim czasie ale bardzo ciężko najechać na coś kursorem blisko bocznego panelu ponieważ ten odrazu się rozwija. Jestem zadowolony z tej formy kart przeglądarek więc chciałbym przy niej pozostać, natomiast ta czułość rozwijania kiedy kursor myszki jest stosunkowo daleko jest irytująca i znacząco utrudnia korzystanie z przeglądarki.

I don't want AI I don't even want to be near it. I don't want it lurking in the background of my browser. I don't want to waste a single processing cycle on even considering it. I never wanted AI, and they jammed it into my browser.

Currently, they popped up an ad for "AI Enhanced Tab grouping" and said that you can turn it off in the settings. I looked in the settings, and could not find such a thing. Searching for "Tabs" "Suggested" "AI" and other such related terms yields no AI things.

Why tell me I can turn something off in the settings if there is no setting to turn it off?

But that's just the start.

I want nothing to do with AI. I don't want to use a browser that supports it.

I WILL MAKE MY OWN DAMN BROWSER IF I HAVE TO. I QUIT GOOGLE, I'LL QUIT FIREFOX.

Mozilla used to be a safe-haven from all the bullshit other tech companies were pulling. And now this.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. MY. BROWSER.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S LOCAL. I DON'T CARE IF YOU SAY IT'S SECURE. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S GETTING BETTER. I. DO. NOT. CARE.

GIVE ME THE OPTION TO PURGE AI FROM MY BROWSER OR BY FUCK I'LL FIND A NEW BROWSER.

I saw bunch of threads which suggest to enable "ctrl+tab cycles through tabs in recently used order". It does what I need, but in previous versions I used to press only ctrl+tab. While I was holding ctrl I could iterate over tabs via tab key. After releasing ctrl selected tab was chosen

It differs with current behavior where you press ctrl+tab and after releasing all keys pop up with tabs is still be viewed and you need manual action with space/enter/mouse click to open selected tab

Is there any way to use only ctrl+tab without any manual actions required like it was back in the days where after releasing the control key selected tab is opened?

Hello everyone,

Like most of you, I'm aggressively attacked by advertising new tabs.

I'd like to have this: my tabs static, no movement, all fixed sizes, and no new tabs on redirects. If I need a new tab, I manually click the "+".-sign.

Fox tries to fit all tabs in, at the same time.

What I have tried so far is not working:

1. pinned tabs always get un-pinned at restart

2. pop-ups are stopped in Firefox own Settings

3. my settings in about:config: browser.uidensity = 0 browser.tabs.animate = false browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false browser.tabs.allowTabDetach = false browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 68 px dom.popup_allowed_events = False browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground = false accessibility.blockautorefresh = false services.sync.prefs.sync.accessibility.blockautorefresh = false toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling = False browser.link.open_newwindow = 2 browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external = 3

Tabs still move, change size, and unwanted ones appear. :/

What settings should I change, add, or remove? Anyone more proficient than me, in about:config-programming?

Cheers!

On Linux, clicking the X in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox display, or entering CTRL-W kills Firefox with no warning. It would be nice if there was an alert that came up asking "Are you sure if you want to kill Firefox?". Or at least add an option for this in Settings.

Since updating to firefox 142, ive noticed that if i move a firefox tab from my main monitor to my second monitor, it leaves a gap now where it used to be and doesnt shrink the other tabs back down like before

Its a bit difficult to explain so iv added a screenshot, the red arrow is where theres now an empty gap. I moved some tabs over to the other monitor and thats the gap it leaves

Since yesterday, some of my tab groups don't fully collapse when the group tab is clicked. Instead, one tab in the group remains fully expanded, followed by a number indicating how many other tabs are in the group. A screen shot is attached.

Since I enabled tab groups some weeks ago, tab groups have behaved as expected. When the group header is clicked, the tabs in the group spread out to be visible and clickable. When the header is clicked again, all tabs in the group collapse entirely behind the header tab.

Most of my tab groups are still behaving this way. But new groups are now displaying one full tab plus the number, no matter how many other tabs or tab groups are already occupying the window.

Since the behavior is inconsistent, it doesn't seem to be a setting. Is there any fix?

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.

I am using firefox on ubuntu (firefox 142.0.1 (64-bit)) and using vertical tabs in the side bar. I recently started using the new(ish) feature of tab groups and I absolutely love it. I was using STG (simple tab groups) before and that fine, but this is way nicer. The only small annoyance I have, which could be a mistake on my side. Is that some of my tab groups are shortend seemingly randomly? If I for example make a group named "phone" it is visible like that, but after a couple of hours it goes to "ph...". I thought it may be sidebar width not being wide enough, but you can see in my screenshot that is not the case. Strangely if I make a new group it is always complete.

So I was wondering if I am missing a setting or config entry.

Thank you for reading and hope you have a great day!

I just updated to Firefox 142.0.1, and the list all tabs button has returned. I tried the old fix by going into about:config and setting the browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = false as I was originally shown, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know why, as it seemed to be fine the last few versions. I did recently sync my browser with another one on a windows 11 machine (which I suspect I'll be returning soon, as I prefer windows 10 to windows 11), but I can't imagine that being the reason, I don't think. Can anyone help figure out how to turn this thing back off?

I can't re-open a saved tab group. I saved it and closed firefox but when I returned I couldn't find where to access it. I see all of my saved tabs when I right-click on a tab and choose "Add Tab to Group", but when I move the tab to that group it just disappears rather than open the group. Any help would be appreciated! :)

Hi everyone Since sep-15, The "Open previous windows and tabs" function is NOT working .. everytime i have to reopen all the previous tabs. I am not sure if any update has caused this. Please help. Thanks

I used to leave many tabs opened in my browser so that when I got back I could easily find the one I wanted to use.

Now I can't because the Mozilla browser just won't save them. So each time that I open the browser they are all gone...

... Is there somersetting I can DO????

I know this is probably not possible, but thought I'd ask.

My example would be my pinned email tab. Is there some way to create immediate access with a shortcut, rather that a bookmark, or having to navigate to the beginning of the tab session?

I have carefully located all tabs in groupings suitable for me. Therefore, I do not want AI to make any changes. How can I ensure that Mozilla's AI does NOT make any changes to the groupings in which I have put my tabs.
