I have lost my tabs after the recent update. They used to show all tab groups in toolbar icon as mentioned here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups) in manage tabs section. Only the groups that were open are retained, the groups which were closed are lost. They contained important tabs which I haven't bookmarked. I didn't see any policy of removal of inactive tab groups after certain time, any help would be really appreciated. I use the desktop app on Linux.

Hi, I want to make a simple extension for Firefox that auto toggles vertical tab based on the aspect ratio of the Firefox window. I found `sidebar.verticalTabs` in about:config that toggles vertical tabs, but a simple googling tells me that it is not possible for web extension to modify about:config values. Is there any other API that toggle vertical tabs? Thanks!

The AI tab thing is a problem for me for multiple reasons. I found various articles about how to turn it off. They pointed to the following setting: In about:config set the setting "browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled" to false, and then restart Firefox.

However, when I do that, and then immediately go back to about:Config to check the setting, it has changed itself back to "true".

Other settings accept and keep permanent changes. This means that I'm not forgetting to save the change or anything. Just this one setting (which turns off something causing me problems) refuses to actually stay set.

I see the answer to this question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1509077 and tried looking there. There is a completed study called "Smart Tab Groups Rollout", but since it is in the "Completed Studies" group, I cannot remove it.

New windows

Evey time I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window. How so I stop this? I'd prefer to just open a new tab in the same window I have.

Firefox not honoring "open in background" setting on other apps all of a sudden

Losing my mind on this one.

Have 2 Macs I use at home, both running FF 141.0 and Sequoia 15.5.

Use Reader for RSS and Airmail for eMail. Both have settings to allow links clicked in those programs to open browser tabs in background. Handy way of banging through newsletters and RSS feeds before shifting to browser.

One on Mac, that open in battleground setting on both apps works as it has for, oh, last several years. On the other Mac, a few days ago that open in background stopped working with Firefox. It does work properly on Chrome and Safari if I set them as default browser (and, as I mentioned above, on my other Mac).

I've tried resetting Firefox on this Mac using the troubleshooting menu and have also cleared the Firefox cache. I even tried resetting the launch database in that Mac, although the fact Chrome and Safari are working fine suggests the OS isn't the culprit.

I'm unaware of having changed any settings, but am aware that "idiot user" may be the issue.

Regardless of how this happened, any ideas how to sort this annoyance out? Thanks!

Windows 10; Firefox 141.0

According to the "View recent browsing across windows and devices" command:

"Window 2 is current" and there is "Window 1" (which contains recent work)

My question(s):

How can I switch from window 2 (current) to window 1 (recent work)? and/or How can I combine both windows?

Thank you. (For your information, I have had a partial stroke, and I am 79 years old.)
