Hyperlinks keep opening in new windows, not in the same/existing window where they were selected. Issue is not unique to Google Search results and occurring across multiple websites. At wits end trying to figure this one out. I have deselected the "Open links in tabs instead of new windows", turned off all extensions, and uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox. Issue is still occurring. Attached is image of my tab selections showing all turned off.

I open firefox and open two or three tabs. Than I check task manager, because my computer is running warm and I find firefox has opened 12 to 20 tabs. I have tried every suggested fix for this problem with no resolution. Can you provide a fix for this problem. I have the same problem on my Lenovo laptop as well.

Hello. I'm using vertical tabs in Firefox, but the previews are displayed and are getting in the way. I've checked the settings, and there are options for "Show preview image when hovering over tab" and "Show tab previews in taskbar," but... Is there no way to hide them in vertical tabs? Firefox 149.0 64-bit

When I open Firefox, all my bookmarked sites start loading at the same time. I have unchecked, the "Startup Open previous windows and tabs" option in General Settings. I also deleted, and added Firefox again, but all sites are still loading on opening Firefox. (Chrome browser is fine.) Any ideas? Thanks!

I tried unchecking and rechecking all start settings. When I close Firefox, it asks if I want to close all tabs - the only option is to cancel, leaving Firefox open, or Yes, which would close all my tabs and not reopen the tabs on startup.

My recent history is also missing.

I upgraded to a new Surface Pro 12 and now when I launch Firefox it won't open my previous tabs and windows even though I've checked the box "open the previous windows and tabs" under the General/Start Setup. On my previous Surface Pro 3, I never had an issue with this. Am I doing something wrong..? Also when I click on the time in the lower right task bar, it would open the time plus a calendar. Now with the Pro 12 I get the time and a notifications window and no calendar. Is there a way to change Firefox to the way it was on my old Pro 3..?

This happens on Firefox for Linux Mint 149.0 (64-bit) brand new profile.

This occurs when there are multiple tabs open to the point that they need to be resized after closing a tab.

When I attempt to close another tab with a middle click, all the tabs are resized on the mouse click down action. The tab that is newly under the cursor when middle click is released is closed. This is causing unintended tabs to be closed.

Any help or workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

Odd behavior of tabs, including the following:

1. While trying to access content on a page in an open tab, an existing tab inserts itself in the first tab (left-most) position

2. While trying to download a standard pdf file the save windows opens but does so on top of another, irrelevant tab.

This happened also in Troubleshooting Mode. It happened today for the first time, but it's not happening all the time. Just every so often.

None of this happened in the version prior to 149 (ver. 148.xx)!

I'm using Tab Reloader, and have been using it without a problem for a long time.

Would greatly appreciate your advice!

So, today I found that absolutely all of my tab groups have been wiped from existence. Not passwords, bookmarks, history, extensions or anything of the sort. Just tab groups specifically. Everything else in my profile is still here. I tried restoring from a backup using the Session History Scrounger at https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html but my closest backup was a March 26th one that is missing an entire tab group created after that date.

I tried searching other solutions to my issue, but nothing has worked so far. It doesn't have anything to do with updates as the last one happened on March 26th and I definitely used the tab groups after that point. I'm at a complete loss on what I am supposed to do, as I lost ~600 tabs combined across all groups

I have the same issue as this person https://support.mozilla.org/kn/questions/1373153. I HAVE the "Open previous windows and tabs" option on, i also DON'T have the "Clear history and cookies when closing the window" nor "Clear history when Firefox closes" nor "Always use private browsing mode" on so the solution doesn't work for me. Firefox won't open previous tabs when i close the window. However upon restarting my PC i have noticed that when i start up Firefox, my previous tabs are opened. So it seems the action of closing the window is doing something to prevent Firefox from opening the previous tabs again.

What is the latest version of the browser because when I open a new tab from a previous tab's content onto the new one it just doesnt load for some reason

Ich werde Firefox nicht mehr benutzen, alle Fenster verschwinden wenn man Firefox wieder startet obwohl dies in den Einstellungen "Vorherige Fenster und Tabs öffnen" steht! Scheinbar ist keiner fähig dies zu beheben und keiner hilft! Sehr fragwürdig!! So könnt ihr euren Firefox beerdigen!!!

In the last update the plus sign to open a new tab was moved from the left side to the far right of the screen. I find this very inconvenient. Just wondering if this bothers anyone else. Is there a way to roll back to the previous version of Firefox?

I had 6 groups in the sidebar showing when I closed Firefox last night. Today when I opened Firefox there was only one group showing how do I get the other groups re-displayed in the sidebar? I am finding no clues when using the last line in searching help
